Redemption in Knowledge
How a few afternoons with Honest Travel Experience changed my outlook on Johannesburg
Just before Covid struck in March, through a series of unforeseen circumstances I found myself alone in Johannesburg. And I really didn’t like it.
During the three months I’d been there, there had obviously been plenty of nice moments, but I hated not being able to go for a walk when I wanted, I hated taking Ubers everywhere because I didn’t have a car, I hated that everyone kept telling me to be careful all the time.
In the few weeks immediately before the lockdown, I was starting to dread being locked in a flat in a city I didn’t like 15,000km away from anyone I knew. But in yet another beautiful life lesson for me, Johannesburg found a way of redeeming itself last minute.
Redemption came in the shape of Franck and his awesome team at Honest Travel Experience, who organise trips, activities, and experiences in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and soon, hopefully, further afield in South Africa and the continent at large.
Through them, I was able to discover areas and stories I had no idea existed…
