I must admit it’s not somewhere that had really been on my radar until it started attracting attention as a “digital nomad’ hotspot a few years back - and as such many Europeans and Americans arrived to brave out the northern hemisphere winter in the superior warmth [...]

•••
I have just returned from South Africa where I combined a press trip for Thomas Cook in Durban with a visit to my old home, Cape Town.

So anthropomorphically like exhausted [...]

Sure, I had travelled alone a lot in the past, and sure I’d been to Tanzania the year before to volunteer for a few months in communities that were less than touristy.
