The kind of trip that makes the best stories (afterwards) isn’t always one that worked out exactly to plan. At least that is what I’ve found in all the years I’ve been travelling. One classic example was a bucket list trip that my boyfriend paid and planned for behind my back to surprise me with …
While doing a three month trip around South Africa in 2014, we managed to turn my little Ford Ka into a 4×4 in its own right (without meaning to of course). This was still in the days of accommodation specials on Groupon and spending most of our nights camping, we really needed to do the …
When I was much younger (can’t actually remember how old I was and my mom has a worse memory than me, so I can’t ask her), we went on a trip to Clifftop Lodge. At the time, my mom knew the owner; so we managed to get it for very cheap (if not free) and …
So, I’m sure that you recognise the title of this blog post (Alanis Morisette sung something similar). For us however; it was a pretty big issue having no forks in a self catering unit where we were staying (luckily for only 1 night) on the way home from Umhlanga. The name was Mount Everest Game …
So, in 2014, we decided to do a working holiday around South Africa. It was the trip of a lifetime and every year we reminisce about it and how, if we won the Lotto that would be the first thing we would do with the money. We might have had to work a bit (we …
Just outside of Clarens (about 17km’s to be exact) is in my opinion one of the most amazing places I’ve ever stayed. Now, if you really love B&B’s or Guesthouses, then this won’t be for you, but if you absolutely love self catering (it is the only way we like to travel) then this place …
I reckon this is actually the best kept secret in South Africa. Most people don’t even know of its existence and I would have stayed one of those people had my friend not told me about it (I think about 5 years ago). That was our first experience of it, but since then as per …
So I absolutely love Restaurant week. Well, I love food in general (especially fine dining if I can afford it), so when Restaurant week comes around twice a year; to say I get excited is an understatement. I was particularly jazzed this year, as I’ve been wanting to go to Restaurant Mosaic for 3 years …
I’ve been writing since I was a kid really, but the first time I really got into it was when I got back from a six month trip to the UK in 2007 (it was supposed to be a 2 year working holiday but my sister and I didn’t really enjoy the work and wanted …

So I definitely figured out how to make a Friday great last week. Not only did I get to cross something off my ten year list (which is growing by the week) which is a huge plus, but instead of going to work, I decided to go to lunch with my family and then had …
