My homeland of sun, great contrasts, and an endless horizon.

My home in South Africa is hard to pen down in words. It's a place of great contrast among landscapes, cultures, and people. It was my home for 25 years.

South Africa is in my bones. Her rivers run deep through my veins. On her hills in the Klein Karoo, my taste for the wild was first forged and my hunger for more began.

I wonder at the towering mountain ranges breaking through the gums of the earth. In the early mornings, I would hold my breath, waiting for dawn. I have trailed coastlines and road tripped through the Karoo and savannah.

I'm not sure if there is a place more wild and feverish and unpredictable than this country.
