A post about why I'd rather be in warm, sunny Mauritius than in chilly Johannesburg this winter. It's an easy argument to make.

Café Patisse recently moved from its industrial location in Wynberg to Emmarentia. No matter where you live in Joburg, these pastries are worth the drive.

I'm offering another blog course in August 2017 and it will be bigger and better than my previous two blog courses. The class is limited to 10 participants.

I did a street art tour of Cape Town's District Six area with Juma from Juma's Art Tours, and learned a lot about the crazy history of this neighborhood.

I spent a day at the races at Turffontein Racecourse, and was surprised by how quickly I was drawn in to the drama and glamour of horse-racing.

I'm devastated about the news that Swazi Werner, the owner of the Zebra Inn in Jeppestown, was killed last night in an armed robbery.

The Food Junxion, a chicken tikka restaurant in Ntemi Peliso Street in downtown Johannesburg, is South African street food at its best.

Master Mansions, home of Mabro Hats, tells a tantalizing story of an Indian family's journey to success in apartheid-era Johannesburg.

It came as no surprise to me that Stellenbosch is the wine capital of South Africa. But there's a lot more to drinking wine than just...drinking wine.

Ted Sheasby's garage in Malvern is one of just a handful of letterpress printing shops in Joburg. It's a must-visit for those interested in printing.

Brixton is one of Joburg's most underrated neighborhoods, but until recently it has been lacking cool hangouts. The new Breezeblock cafe is changing that.

Stellenbosch may be the wine capital of South Africa, but there is plenty to do in Stellenbosch for non-wine-drinkers, too.
