Show Us Your South Africa

During my preparation for #TEP2013 there are of course many challenges that come my way. The obvious one would be travelling a nation, something that on its own is a tall order. Similarly with an under-taking like this, a project with a small budget, it had to encapsulate the diverse nation that the world thinks they understand. The fact being that only locals understand South Africa, only South Africans have been a part of the nation’s history, and will be a part of its future, a nation that is not comparable to any other. Now I say this because non South Africans feel justified in labelling the country and its people. It is more complicated than that.

The Essence of the Traveller's Tale

The Evolution of The EXPEDITION Project

"But to look back from the stony plain along the road which led one to that place is not at all the same thing as walking along the road; the perspective, to say the least, changes only with the journey; only when the road has, all abruptly and treacherously, and with the absoluteness that permits no argument, turned or dropped or risen is one able to see all that one could not have seen from any other place."

James Baldwin, Go Tell it on the Mountains

Just a thought #19: Choice Fatigue

In the fast paced, small world we live in filled with choice fatigue, high stress levels and increasing competitiveness, we face growing challenges each day.
First world stress levels are usually geared around too much choice and third world stress levels mostly too little choice.


Social media has become an integral part of both our business and personal lives. It is becoming increasingly hard to keep things fresh, unique and exciting for your audience. 

Just a thought # 14: We need your help

As we compile to 20 questions we will be asking 2012 people in 2012 - that's just over 10 people per town in our 200 towns we will visit next year - we call out to you dear supporters to help us.

So we have divided our proposed questions up in our project categories for you to then choose your top 20.
Lend us your thoughts with our first of our four part question search...

Part 1:

The ENVIRONMENT Project -

1. Will Climate Change effect SA's coast? 
2. Will sea levels rise and change SA's coastline by 2050? 
3. What is Climate Change? 
4. Do you believe that humans are responsible for the changing weather patterns? 
5. Has the weather changed in your town over the last 10 years?
