What do you love most about Africa? Everything! Africa has so many sights, sounds and experiences – one has to keep coming back to experience just a fraction of it. Above all, the people of Africa are amazing with the most beautiful sense of hospitality.
Where are you heading in 2021? What adventures await you? 2021 will be relatively quiet during the first quarter, but later on, I look forward to travelling to various parts of Africa to help with skills development
What is your favourite thing about your role in Africa Travel Week? It was an honour to moderate a panel of people who had to pivot out of their comfort zones and make life work. I hope that the audience got some valuable content from those discussions.
