Joburg in October is different from any other month. Summer has arrived and the blooming jacarandas make it nearly impossible to feel sad.

I visited the View, a historic Victorian mansion in Parktown, with the Joburg Heritage Foundation. One more Hidden Joburg spot off the list!

I visited Glenshiel, a historic Herbert Baker home in Westcliff, and then remembered my 2019 visit to Villa Arcadia, another Baker home.

Gail and I took a gallery-hopping tour through Rosebank with Thabo the Tourist, Joburg's charming guide for the arts.

Last weekend I toured a series of public art installations around Joburg that were either created or inspired by late artist Andrew Lindsay.

I hosted a jacaranda walk through Rosebank, together with the Johannesburg in Your Pocket Guide and the Redisson Red Hotel.

I took a graffiti walk through Joburg, sponsored by the Goethe Institute. It was great to look at street art for the first time in a while.

I attended the new "Organic Vegan Experience" tour with Honest Travel last weekend. I now see urban gardens in a new light.

I visited the Thokoza Memorial, a tribute to the people who died in political violence between the ANC and IFP parties in the 1990s.

Last weekend I participated in the first-ever #SpazaShopTour in Katlehong and Thokoza. I think it was the beginning of something amazing.

With my friends from the African Accent Spaza Shop, I'm helping to organize the first-ever Spaza Shop Tour in Katlehong and Thokoza.

This weekend I went cycling in Soweto with a group of locals. Touriing Soweto has a totally different feel without international tourists.
