‘Differences Are Embraced’: How Travel Found Sherwin Banda

by Daniel McCarthy  October 06, 2021

When we talk about individuals finding their way into the travel industry, we often talk about a desire to see the world, a passion for business, or a mentor inspiring them along the way. For Sherwin Banda, his road into travel didn’t start with him seeking it out. Instead, it happened the other way around.

In this clip from Check-In Episode 14, African Travel Inc.’s Sherwin Banda talks about how travel almost rescued him when he was growing up as a member of the LGBTQ community in apartheid South Africa. 

The full episode is available here.
