Ola! We've been in Mozambique for just over a week... and its been epic! The hospitality has been very much like the weather – very warm – and we're loving it!

Now about the weather...

Now I must admit that one of the major contributing factors to doing this trip, for me, was the Cape Town weather, to be more specific, winter. As much as I love the Mother City, winter sucks. So to all my friends who are now experiencing this most cherished time of the yea...

Last week I had a very cool meeting with Lenina Rassool. A free-lance journalist and lucky for us, a very nice person.
