I am a girl from the northern suburbs of Cape Town who went against nature and fell in love with Johannesburg. I work in wine. A subject I am rather passionate about.

The average traveller

You will find many glorious travel blogs and sites of the most beautiful resorts around the globe. You can find lists of what to pack in matching luggage. Gosh, the world is full of travel bloggers who take amazing photos that leave you wanting to up and leave your day job and travel the world. I am not that travel blogger. I live to travel and discover new places. Sometimes that includes places right down the road. Sometimes it involves a long haul flight or two. I am average. I travel on an average budget, I travel with average luggage and gadgets but I tell extraordinary stories.

  • I sat here drinking a liver killing energy drink on Tuesday. I’ve been working in wine for 12 years. Last year it damn near came to a screeching halt. I didn’t want to be surrounded by it anymore. I felt like I failed. I walked away. Then it followed me. 5 months after going independent I can safely say it was the best career move I’ve ever made and although I’m overwhelmed as fuck, I did it. Tomorrow is a big day. This is big view. And nothing big would have happened without @konfytbekkie telling me DAILY how I’m not the failure I felt like. I know you haven’t touched ground this week. But you inspire me. And this view. But mostly you. Dankie vir alles. Letterlik, alles. Ek is lief vir jou.
  • Everything has come full circle. Like on a cosmic scale. It’s weird and cool and I’ll write about it soon. But today I got to take another picture of these lavender fields, it’s been a while but they are back in my life now.
  • Today was mad. But hey. Here I am.
  • Stellenbosch at dusk.
  • Unreal.
  • On the worst of days and weeks you find a way to your best friend and camp out in their offices until they notice you.
