  • Our second episode marks our entrance into South Africa as we explore a very big, very diverse, and very beautiful country. If you follow me on Instagram @captainpotter you’re already familiar with what's in store for you here as I'm sure you've seen the "South Africa" series I made with my friends at @Corona.
    I was so proud of that series and so in love with the stories we told I wanted to make what could, more or less, be considered extended versions of those films we made. So that's what you can expect from these episodes. A jam-packed adventure with all the life, laughs, and lessons I was unable to fit in the Corona series so many loved!!
    In this episode, “The Wonderful Witch of the West” we explore the breathtaking lands of the Western Cape and introduce you to my dear friend Roushanna Gray, a wild food forager who’s learned how to track her edible landscape through the seasons. Together we dive through kelp forests, climb mountains, pick mushrooms, and cook up some of the most incredible meals I’ve ever had with a fantastic group of new friends and old including ‪@ChelseaKauai‬ and ‪@itskoasmith‬
    Enjoy the episode, my friends, and don't forget to like and subscribe!
    All the music in this episode is by South African local ‪@seankoch3271‬
    Honored to have your music as the soundtrack, thank you brotha!!

    True next time when I’m worrying about something I’ll keep in mind to look around and to be grateful for everything that’s out there. There’s always something to learn from your stories🙌🏼🙌🏼

    I cried watching this. We are soo disconnected from our environment, and this was just soo special, one of those videos that just truly make you appreciate mother nature 😊

    “Every moment there are a million miracles happening around you: a flower blossoming, 🌺 a bird tweeting, 🐦 a bee humming, 🐝 a raindrop falling,💧 a snowflake ❄ wafting along the clear evening air. There is magic everywhere. If you learn how to live it, life is nothing short of a daily miracle.”

    You make great art with your content. It is also my path: back to our roots, back to nature. So let's do it by living it out and welcome everybody on this path. It is just possible, when we can have for every human understanding and compassion. The borders of discrimination must fall, first in us, then in the world. Lots of love.

    I'm 22 and have dropped off the radar temporarily and living in the heart of nature, reconnecting and disconnecting from society. Living a more tribal/wolfpack existence that feels so much more simple, authentic and intentional. I thought travel was the only way to really expand however I'm realising there is so much to be learnt when grounded (at times). Thank you for sharing and capturing all this beauty! It's amazing that you're young and advocating active exploration in a world where we're all being brainwashed and told that real happiness is something material that needs to be chased and possessed. Can't wait for your future videos! All the love x
