ABOUT THOBI ROSE
Why Thobi "Rose" ?
I’m sure you’re wondering why the name Thobi Rose? In 2011, I started studying at the University Of Johannesburg, and on a casual day, I woke up and decided to go and cut my hair, the BIG “life-changing” chop. After I shaved it ALL off, the barber looked at me and smiled, saying, “ah, you look like a rose..” and so I took the rose and decided I look like a Rose Bud. started a blog at University called Rose Bud, and as the years went on, the bud fell off but rose stayed and here I am today, Thobi Rose. I am still blooming and growing, and I hope that this journey becomes one where I can inspire, educate and see many more African travellers at heart bloom and explore this magnificent continent.
Travel for me has always been about the stories we create, the stories we tell, the people we meet and the memories engraved in our hearts forever. I hope to share this love for all these things with you and to include all the things we need when we travel, from tips to planning your next trip, packing hacks, finding the best places to eat, reviews, the perfect sunscreen, outfits and more which is where the lifestyle element will live. My main goals for this website are to change the face of travel by showcasing gems, focusing on unearthing the true gems that lie in our continent, and changing how travel is perceived to look like for Africans in Africa.
Thank you for being a part of the Tribe.
Thobi Rose
