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.

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

Brixton-based artist Bronwen Findlay, together with her team, created a beautiful mosaic for the garden at Everard Read gallery.

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

I visited the Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point in Africa, for the first time. But I was lazy and missed a lot of the attractions.

I visited the Wits Art Museum to see the current exhibition of works from the Standard Bank African Art Collection. It was stunning.

One year later than planned, I finally made it to Bathurst -- one of the small South African towns I've been most excited to visit.

In my quest to cover all of Joburg's hidden places, I sometimes neglect the unhidden places. Mandela House, a museum on Vilakazi Street, is one such place.

The Long March to Freedom, 100 bronze statues honoring SA's freedom fighters, moved to Maropeng. Join me on a Jozi art walk about how the statues are made.

The Wonders of Rock art is a exhibition of French and South African rock art, on display at the Sci-Bono Discovery Centre in Newtown until 1 October 2018.

In a quick day trip into Washington D.C., my father and I visited the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.

During the Johannesburg Heritage Foundation's annual Heritage Weekend, I walked through two of historic middle-class suburbs, Killarney and Forest Town.
