"Hey ya'll, Franck here. I was born in the Congo but raised in many countries across the African continent. My first experience traveling across Africa began as a refugee at the age of 7.  At the time, my father was a political journalist who had to flee the government in fear of execution. We traveled by bus and foot for many years to our final destination, South Africa. I have lived in Zambia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Angola. 

​

I drew much of my inspiration for this travel company from my adulthood spent living in the infamous inner-city of Johannesburg. My mom always warned me to beware of certain places and buildings. It had become a dangerous place to live in the late 90s which required certain survival skills. The inner city of Johannesburg is the melting pot of African culture with many different immigrants calling it home. For as much as it was "Dangerous" it was the only place I could call home due to its diversity and acceptance of all people.

 

The iconic Ponte Tower was symbolic of this time (AKA The United States of Africa). It was a walking distance from my home and I was constantly reminded that if I don't do well I'll end up in that building. At the time, the building was a symbol of failure. One day, curiosity lead me to move into this building and this has given me the opportunity to challenge people's perceptions of my neighborhood and expose them rather to the beauty of the inner city.

 

My love for storytelling grew over time and as I explored South Africa I realized the diversity of this country and the story of its people weren't well represented in the tourism industry; my mission is to retell the true African story and change people's view on the African continent through unique experiences that will connect travelers to the people Africa.

 

I believe I can use tourism as a catalyst for building communities and changing the narrative of this beautiful continent through a fair trade between visitors and communities."
