Tambo Airport, which is located next to Johannesburg‘s international airport. Protea Hotel Cape Town Mowbray, in the southern suburbs of […]
Marriott’s Protea Lusaka. The location is likely one of the best in all of Zambia‘s capital, with direct access to two malls and several good restaurants.

Just twenty years ago, the Lagos Governor (as it is also a state) said that his protectorate was a slum with no rules and no income. Things have changed rapidly since then and the […]
My Favorite 13 Things to do in Barranquilla – Understand Barranquilla is just 80 miles from Cartagena, but feels more like the affluent residential parts of Panama City than Cartagena.
