I went to the mountains of Lesotho in southern Afrika and stayed three weeks with the family of Thato Maluke in the small shepherd village Hakenene, one and a half hours walking distance away from the nearest road. I learned a lot from this simple life without electricity or running water. The hospitality of Thato and her village was incredible and the one week horse trip to Drakenberg´s mountains of South Afrika was one of the most beautiful trips in my life.
