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.

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.

The Joburg Heritage Foundation recently hosted a tour of the "Ruins of Rose Road" in Upper Houghton. The tour was everything I hope for and more.

JoburgPlaces is running several tours and experiences centered around the concept of migration. I participated in two of them and they got me thinking.

I found myself not cycling on a cycle ride through Alexandra Township. I had a great time visiting some old favoriates and also discovering new places.

Yukon House, a beautiful historic mansion in the old Jozi suburb of Bezuidenhout Valley, is one of Joburg's best secret places to have afternoon tea.
