I am back from what was possibly the best experience of my entire life! I have always been fond of traveling and South Africa was definitely on my list of places to visit. Little did I know how life changing this trip was. I highly suggest that everyone take a trip back to the mother land.
Sorry ladies and gents this trip definitely wasn't based around fashion. I took the trip with two dudes who didn't want to hear about "dope fits". Most of the trip I was in workout clothes! I didn't dress up or put on makeup one time during my visit but I can honestly say I didn't miss it.
My first stop in South Africa was Johanessburg. We went to Nelson Mandela Square. There is huge statue of Nelson Mandela dead smack in the middle of the square that is absolutely breathtaking.
We also stopped at the Johanessburg Art Gallery where I bumped into these amazing statues.
Then we traveled to Soweto. I didn't anticipate going to Soweto because I thought it was too far!! In reality it's only 20 minutes. There we found the home of Nelson Mandela. It definitely wasn't what I expected. It could fit into my apartment about 3 times. The floors were black from the several times the house was firebombed. The bedrooms were tiny and there was no real kitchen. The whole experience was humbling to say the least.
I have so much to share but definitely don't want to overwhelm you so I will give it you guys in "Travel Diary" doses.
