About the author
A member of the founding class of Lonely Planet's Correspondent Network, I'm a South Africa-based solo travel creator who has explored over 25 countries and champions joyful, confident adventure. I started Gophari, my travel blog, in 2017 after a life-changing trip along Mpumalanga’s Panorama Route, and I've been inspiring others to explore ever since. I adore nature, wildlife, waterfalls and wild swims.
