Holidays are for drinking G&Ts and stumbling across places like St Elmos Convent Nothing says ‘holiday’ like accidentally driving into an old convent and hearing a baby scream when no-one else is around. Yes I like to live on the edge (as long as I go home to a cloud bed). St Elmos Convent is a historical […]
‘Africa’s not for sissies’…bring a 4×4 and a sense of adventure to Mozambique When foreigners complain about things not ‘working’ in Africa I always roll my eyes. Don’t come here if you’re not willing to experience the people, culture and community. Things work differently because it’s not your home, adapt, enjoy and take cool pictures. A few […]
It wouldn’t be a holiday if I didn’t pack too many clothes The best thing about holidaying at the beach is not having to wear pants. And by pants I mean long pants that you only own because it’s cold and going to work in your pajamas is frowned upon. Going to Mozambique meant I could.. a) […]
Where to eat, sleep and slay in Dullstroom… Dullstroom is basically the winter travel destination of your dreams. And it’s only like 2.5 hours out of Joburg. Weekend whiskey tasting vacay, check, romantic fishing getaway, check, hiking exercise excursion, check. It’s got it all, plus a chocolate shop. I’ve been there a couple of times this year […]

Just outside of Graaf Reinet is the micro-town Nieu-Bethesda, which takes you back in time about 100 years. There’s no […]
When the weather suddenly changes and you find yourself on holiday like I did recently, you come to rely on your wardrobe essentials. These basic pieces helped me transition from winter to summer.
It’s winter in South Africa so it seems like a good time to travel back to Florianópolis, Brazil. This city was the best place to relax after countless hours at bus stations. What better way to recover than on an island. That’s what was so amazing about this trip is that I got to start off in […]
Far too many people told us not to go to Sao Paulo. Far too many people were wrong. Unfortunately we didn’t have a lot of time there but we did get to see Beco do batman – one of the highlights of my trip. Sao Paulo is an incredible city firstly it’s huge like New York huge […]
Throughout most of my trip in South America I was in a daze from all the amazing street art. So much so I was inspired to wear a colourful skirt that almost camouflaged me into the bustling city. Pairing the patterned mini with a plain white t-shirt and a leather backpack, which I picked up at market […]
