Urs: “ It all began with a simple thought, a desire to explore South Africa while leaving a meaningful mark. I was looking to combine adventure & purpose.

I was put in touch with Baz-Art, a Cape Town social enterprise, the correspondence buzzed with energy. We delved into Zoom sessions, Baz-Art is an intriguing fusion of artistry and community enterprise. Beyond the canvas, Baz-Art wasn't just employing artists; it was painting transformative strokes across African societies.

Navigating through discussions with Baz-Art's directors was like wandering through a gallery of possibilities. It wasn't just about colors on walls; it was about painting paths to entrepreneurship and fostering professional growth within the artistic realm. As a self-proclaimed motivational speaker, I found myself in the midst of creative minds in Cape Town, sparking conversations on the art of business and forging one's path in the industry.

Post this enriching chapter, I embarked on a leisurely week exploring Cape Town's tourism treasures. The Peninsula's coastline charmed me, and Table Mountain's silhouette whispered tales of grandeur. The penguins at Boulders Beach added a whimsical touch to my journey. Nestled in top-notch guest houses, I savored culinary delights at fine restaurants that turned dining into a symphony for the senses.

Returning to Switzerland, the journey didn't cease; it evolved. Debrief sessions became conduits for ongoing support, transforming my experiences into guiding lights for Baz-Art, navigating through challenges, and illuminating new paths.

As 2024 beckons, my yearning to return grows. My sojourn wasn't a mere chapter; it's a continuing narrative where exploration dances with empowerment. Ostrich Out exists to orchestrate this, showcasing the power of travel and the ripples created by making a difference. “
