Johanna here – I am a Swedish political analyst residing in Cape Town, South Africa. I am a new writer here on Travelstart's blog. Besides working, I travel and experience as much as I can – around Cape Town, in South Africa, around the African continent and around the world.

Here on the blog I will be writing about places and phenomena I find interesting and newsworthy for backpackers and others seeking adventure and knowledge. Observations around political and societal development on the African continent will also appear in my blog posts.  Enjoy!
