📍South Africa 🇿🇦, Cape Town Episode 1: Celebrating Tweede Nuwe Jaar!🥳

This is your sign to book your vacation to Cape Town from December to January. Tweede Nuwe Jaar (Second New Year) is the most amazing parade I have ever been to. A loud, proud and so incredibly beautiful celebration these days but rooted in a dark past built around slavery. Being mixed race, I'm sure there are slaves in my ancestry. To see this celebration emerge out of such darkness is amazing.
