The team behind Zwela

Mische, a photographer and former river guide, safari guide, and marketer, has always been on the lookout for new experiences and adventures. It was through these pursuits that her love for sunrises began, and it's a love that she has happily passed onto her kids. Now, armed with her camera and trusty journal, she chases adventure and beauty near and far, capturing magical moments for Zwela Journals.

Kat grew up in South Africa, and it was there that she began her foray into art and illustration. Scribbling and doodling her way across the world, her pens and paper always close at hand in her pocket, in case inspiration struck! Let's just say she hasn't stopped drawing yet!


A shared heritage brought Mische and Kat together in Barcelona. Both creative mums, they pooled their talents to create Zwela Journals to inspire kids and foster awareness and gratitude for the world around them.

What people are saying....



“My kids were excited to read the next day's questions and ​prompts. It's also nice because if you miss a day or two that's ​ok. You just complete a page when you feel inspired to. And ​inspired you will be!”


“It even made me think about what I should be taking note of ​& being grateful for, engaging my senses & really taking in the ​moment.”








“It's mind blowing actually how much varied content there is! Such great activities and the artwork is beautiful!”


“Besides being informative and fun, I love how reading and writing skills were reinforced without it being a chore, and each prompt can turn into a discussion that the whole family can get involved in!”
