ANNOUNCING: THE SMOOCH AFRICA COFFEE CRAWL

A few months ago, my family and I had a conversation about where we would go on our December holiday… ideas of places all over South Africa were thrown around, but eventually, we decided on taking a road trip down from Pretoria to Cradock, and eventually ending up in Port Alfred, before making our way back to the city.

There was one major purpose for this choice of vacation, a love that the whole family shared: COFFEE. There is a deep appreciation for coffee that is rooted within me, instilled by my parents. We have never been to the Eastern Cape before, and according to the big coffee book that sits in our living room, it is home to some of the best coffee shops in South Africa.

In the spirit of my December road trip adventure, I decided to shake things up a little bit on Smooch...

And so, I am proud to announce the Smooch Africa December 2017 Coffee Crawl. Each day, we will journey to different coffee shops along the way during our road trip, and I am going to blog, vlog, photograph, and interview my way across the country and publish it on the site daily.

So even if you are not going away this year, you can come with us on our Coffee Crawl to South Africa’s finest haunts.

A little bit about Smooch...

Smooch Africa truly is a passion project to me, because it combines two of my favourite things - journalism, and the upliftment of diversity in South Africa...

​

Positivity in the South African landscape has always been very close to my heart, and in early 2017, the country was going through some turbulent times. It struck me that the only media coverage we ever received was exceedingly negative, and in turn, this affected the way that South Africans viewed their country.

​

I wanted to highlight all of the immense beauty we have in our country, and what better way to do that, then to share the stories of the incredibly diverse range of people that South Africa boasts? And so, the concept of Smooch Africa was born.

​

One of the things that I love most about South Africa, is that we are such a melting pot of different people. So many cultures come together in this beautiful land, and I honestly believe that the differences that so often divide us, are actually our biggest strength.

 

In the end, everyone has one major element in common... we are all South Africans.

​

Happy reading!
