ADVENTURES TO FILL YOUR SOUL

They say a picture speaks a thousand words, and in Rejoice Nxumalo’s case, her travel album speaks a million words. Under her own travel planning business, The Afreakan Dream, Nxumalo has travelled over 40 countries, sometimes twice. She has dined in France, stomped on grapes in Italy, woven carpets in Persia, shopped in London, and danced in Mozambique. Through it all, Rejoice has captured every moment and got a t-shirt for it all.

After leaving her cushy research job, she went to. She had started small – exploring the US, when she decided to travel the world, sometimes with her children in tow. “Travel does something deeper than just an Instagramable moment. It almost seems spiritual, like I was born to wander,” she says. “Travel fuels my fire, soothes my soul ... it rejuvenates and excites me every time I see new places, meet people, experience cultures, and taste delicious cuisine.”
