Azania Mosaka is one of South Africa's most recognised voices - a broadcaster, MC, and public speaker who has graced global stages. But beyond the public life, she is a deeply curious traveller who has lived on multiple continents and sees the world as something to be explored, not just visited.

Azania has lived in London, spent two years in Switzerland, raised her children to explore the African continent before anywhere else.

We talk about what it really feels like to live abroad versus the romanticised version we imagine, raising kids to see Africa first, falling in love with Casablanca over Marrakesh, being a Black woman who sticks out in spaces not built for her, and whether sharing our travels on social media is doing more harm than good.
