At the end of my road trip through the Karoo, I spent two nights in the tiny, quirky town of Nieu-Bethesda -- famous home of the Owl House.

I started 2Summers 15 years ago this month. In recognition of this milestone, I reminisce about one Joburg blog post from each of the past 15 years.

I recently went to the Northcliff branch of Makotis, an iconic Joburg fabric shop. It's a great option for those who don't feel like trekking to town.

Thorsten and I spent a Sunday morning hanging out at 44 Stanley, having breakfast and browsing through shops.

Thorsten and I spent an hour at Indwe Park, a garden on the Liberty campus in Braamfontein. It's a beautiful bit of nature in downtown Jozi.

Picking up on my "Hidden Joburg" series from 2022, I finally visited the home of the late sculptor Edoardo Villa in Kew.

I interviewed Sipho Mackenzie, a master's degree candidate, instructional designer, and fashion pioneer based in Soweto.

Michelle and I spent three days exploring Bilbao, Spain, and were dazzled by the architecture and art in this once-industrial city.

I spent an evening walking through Soweto for Soweto Night Out, a new tourism initiative founded by Sowetan Nomsa Mazwai.

Last weekend I attended the "Hey Hillbrow Let's Dlala" parade and found myself crying for a lot of the parade. Here's why.

Last Saturday activists, students, and concerned Joburgers demonstrated for the re-opening of the Johannesburg City Library.

Thorsten and I spent three days walking around Munich and saw a lot of beautiful graffiti and street art. Here are a few photos.
