Cabo Verde is not the kind of place you “do” in a week and then forget between laundry cycles. It’s the archipelago that keeps showing up at the edges of travel stats — 1.2 million visitors in 2025, hotel beds 72% full — while quietly …
Malawi is not just a country. Malawi is a presence—the kind of presence that walks into the room quietly and still somehow steals the whole show. They’ve branded her the Warm Heart of Africa, but lately that heart has stopped humming in the background and …
