The Namib Desert is said to be the oldest in the world. Buried in its dunes lie sand grains that have been around since before the age of man. The pressure on these grains forces them to lock into each other, forming sand roses, thousands of years old. As the sands shift and the dunes dance their eternal dance, these roses come to the surface and lay bare in the mystical sand garden of adders and all manner of tiny desert dwelling creatures.
Right in the centre of the Namib Desert lies the town of Swakopmund. Its rich mixed history giving rise to a diverse mix of architectural styles; from old German Fachwerkhaus buildings to quaint coffee restaurants and stylish modern complexes, and among these lies Ocean House Guest House. With glimpses of the cold mysterious Atlantic from almost every window, the somniferous fresh salty air and the crashing waves’ siren song lulls you to sleep at night.

Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.
There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.
And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.
The gladdest moment in human life is a departure into unknown lands.
The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa — for he has so much to look forward to.
Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.
Travel far enough, you meet yourself.
Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures.
Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport.
Jobs fill your pockets, but adventures fill your soul.
