Famously known where I come from (Lesotho) as “Gauteng maboneng”, meaning “place of light,” this artistic inner-city area in Johannesburg used to be a neglected industrial zone. Over time, it became a lively hub of creative entrepreneurs, galleries, restaurants, and street art. There are a lot of misconceptions about Maboneng, but it is actually a…
One of the bravest things I have ever done was go camping for the very first time — at a big braai festival — alone, by public transport, for an entire weekend, with absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into. Maletsunyane Braai Festival is one of the biggest annual festivals in Lesotho. It…
I can’t say for sure when or how this Cape Town trip came together. I just remember why it did.I needed to unwind.To disappear for a few days.To breathe. It was the familiar urge — the quiet kind of desperation that sends me packing a backpack and chasing a version of myself that feels calmer,…
One of the most beautiful places you can visit in Lesotho is Maliba Lodge.Tucked inside Ts’ehlanyane National Park, it’s known for pristine wilderness, dramatic mountains, waterfalls, forests, and the kind of quiet that feels sacred.

Saying that I love Cape Town always feels like an understatement.I really wish there was a bigger word, but yes, I love Cape Town. So it won’t surprise anyone that I’ve been to this city more times than I can count. Which is why, when it came time to decide where to spend my 25th…
I visited Vilnius for my very first European summer this year, and even before we landed it won my heart. A city wrapped in green- trees everywhere, rivers casually flowing like they had nothing to prove. Everything looked clean and calm and organised — which confused me deeply because I grew up in chaos. The…
I don’t know why I started hiking. About eight years ago, I just did. Still today, I’m always chasing some kind of unique feeling on top of mountains, next to waterfalls, watching sunsets and sunrises, standing by rivers and oceans, . You’d think with all that experience I’d be a strong, fearless hiker by now.I…
