The Pwavwe Papers is a personal publication about ideas, technology, business, travel and culture — written for the pleasure of chasing a good question to its end.
I'm Francis Pwavwe — a tourism graduate, builder and researcher with a chronic weakness for interesting rabbit holes. This is where those threads get pulled apart, thought through, and turned into essays. Curiosity over certainty; the writing is how I figure out what I actually think.
The topics wander on purpose. One week it's where the travel industry is genuinely headed rather than where the headlines say; the next it's a piece of technology worth understanding, a business idea worth stress-testing, or something about life that survived the curiosity test. If a subject rewards a second look, it belongs here.
Why "papers"
Because these are working documents, not verdicts. Each one is an honest attempt to understand something better than I did before I started — and to leave you a little further along too. I'd rather be interesting and occasionally wrong than safe and forgettable.
Stay in touch
New essays are irregular by design — no schedule, no filler. If you'd like a note when there's something worth reading, the subscribe box at the foot of any essay will sort you out. You can also reach me directly on the contact page, or find more of my work at pwavwe.com.
