9. Durban
Durban is a port city in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. After being in South Africa for a few
months, I found myself in the midst of the month long end- of-year holiday between December
and January. I had zero interest in visiting Durban, as I foolishly assumed it would offer me no
more than surfers and sand. I was completely wrong.
I ended up in Durban last January when other travel plans fell through. Within my first 24 hours of
touring, I had been engaged in some of the most profound conversations of my life, I received my
first Japanese language lesson (all of which I forget), blindly walked into a parade of traditional
Zulu dancers, met multiple writers, stumbled upon a two-story art studio and mingled with the
artists, meditated to the sound of the Indian ocean, and was surprised by what I can only assume
was an instinctive discovery of a historic South Africa jazz club, home to some of the most prolific
jazz musicians of the previous decades!
