A different kind of Howie Games episode.
An honest, straight-up travel diary through South Africa and the wild landscapes of Namibia, packed with stories, lessons, travel hacks, and a few hard-earned mistakes along the way. From planning the trip to navigating a place of real consequence, it’s all laid bare.
How to fly, where to stay, what to see... with some VERY special guests, this one’s as personal as it gets... and at its core, it’s about inspiring you to get out there and try something a little different.
Let me know what you think!
Peace and love, and happy and safe travels!
