Have you ever tried Mezcal? Same like tequila, rakija or whiskey, but different. It’s made from these agave plants, some of which can easily weigh over 100kg each!

Africa is one of my favourite continents, I travel Africa is one of my favourite continents, I travelled to almost half of its countries so far and I’d love to visit them all one day. 

This makes it even more special to be standing on this unique spot, at the most southern tip of this enormous land mass. It’s where the Indian meets the Atlantic ocean. Other than that however, there is really not much to do in this desolate landscape.

At the end of the 15th century, early Portuguese explorers named this tip ‘Cabo das Agulhas’ which means ‘Cape of Needles’. This is because of the fact that the compass needles show no deviation between true north and magnetic north. It is also referred to as the ship’s graveyard.
