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.

I spent four days in Bar Harbor, Maine, with my sister, exploring Acadia National Park and the surrounding area. Here are my highlights.

It's been four years since I met my boyfriend Thorsten, an architect, who makes up the other half of the Blogitects.

In honor of the impending U.S. presidential election election in November, I spoke to several Americans in Joburg about why they vote.

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.

I trekked up Beyers Naude to visit Random Harvest, an incredible indigenous nursery in Honeydew. It was totally worth the long drive.

We spent five days on holiday in Mtunzini, a small, tropical beach town along the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast.

We spent two days in St. Lucia and unfortunately we didn't see any crocs or hippos walking the streets. But it was still lovely.

Artüro in Melville is a restaurant that defies classification. The tacos and nachos signal Mexican; the plantains and beignets say otherwise.

The Blogitects spent two days at Stuurmansfontein, a historica corbelled house -- kind of like a stone igloo -- in the Karoo

As part of my birthday roadtrip to the Northern Cape, Thorsten and I spent two days at Augrabies Falls and stayed in the Gorge Cottage.
