About

Hi, I’m Charles.

I explore Southern Africa’s landscapes and history; and I train in Jiu-Jitsu and boxing. This site is where those threads meet.

I’m a blend of intensity and movement, equal parts curiosity and discipline. Some weeks I’m chasing viewpoints on a hike; other weeks I’m drilling fundamentals on the mats and in the boxing ring.

I’m drawn to history because it explains how people really live: what they value, what they fight for, what they build, and what they destroy. If you don’t understand history, you risk living life with the perspective of a child.

What you’ll find here

  • Travel notes and places worth returning to.
  • Stories from Southern Africa, battlefields, towns, and hidden sites.
  • Training lessons from boxing and Jiu-Jitsu: discipline, focus, and resilience.

If you want to work together

Keep it simple: tell me what you’re building, what you need, and the timeline. I’ll reply with clarity.
