Having grown up in the heart of Transkei, I have come to know a side of Africa oblivious to so many. My first travel experiences were as a young child exploring the Wild Coast and since then I find myself planning a new travel adventure every day. I hope to live in India for a few years, do a game ranging course, explore Morocco and experience many other travel adventures. In the meantime I am completing my business science marketing degree at UCT and will travel at every opportunity I get!
