You are that which you seek - South Africa










It has been 119 days since I boarded a plane in Vancouver, setting off on an adventure to Africa. It was such a short blip in my life, a two week period in March and April, yet that 14 day space of time was filled with rich and striking beauty - I feel like I literally drank in every moment that I spent on African soil, soaking in each encounter, sound, smell and feeling with every ounce of my being.
Closing my eyes I am instantly back on a dusty dirt road in a village, children shouting, "muzungo!", small bikes ripping around, music thumping, women chatting and people working in the fields.
I know if I was transported there instantly I would find the exact same scene, which is comforting and intriguing.
These photos above are from a short day trip into Johannesburg and Soweto, South Africa.
