Global CitiZA’n

A South African around the world.

Hi, I’m Thato, a South African on a journey to be a global citizen.

Throughout this blog, you’ll find posts about my experiences, plugs about places I’ve been to, and potential ways that you can make your dreams of travelling the globe a reality.

Straight up and with full disclosure, I intend to make money off of these posts, so you’ll find affiliate links scattered throughout this blog.


FULL DISCLOSURE.
My intention here is to share what I know and what I’ve experienced for free with you, the reader, because I know what a damn hassle it can be to get information when everything’s been gate-kept behind paywalls.
As far as possible, I’ll share with you all the free tools I’ve used, but I’ll also be sharing some of the paid tools I’ve used. In either case, I will not charge you to receive the information I share. 
I might ask you to subscribe to my blog, though! But it’s free.
