Most Sundays we go for a late afternoon drive in search of a bite to eat. This really ends up being a “you choose, no you choose” So we settled on Black Horse Breweries since its a nice drive and not far from where we live. Driving up their road it became apparent we weren’t […]
Read MoreSome weeks are more difficult than others. Who am I kidding, some years are more difficult than others. But you carry on hoping, praying that when you reach the other end you would have accomplished something. This year has been littered with (very) late nights, more responsibility than I ever thought I would have to […]
Read MoreGreen Getaway Booked via Airbnb Just off the N4 en route to Nelspruit. There is an “S” turn and a low level bridge to your left. When you turn off between the orange orchards you find a gold fish and koi farm (yes goldfish) and a gate with insane electric fencing. When you hoot the owners […]
Read MoreI am very proud and honoured to announce that this little blog has snapped up the Best New Comer Award from the South African Travel Blog Awards. Last year I moved my tiny blog from a more life style blog to a travel themed blog and I can honestly say it was the best decision […]
Read MoreConfessions time, by “average traveler” I mean bad. I am a bad traveler. In the sense that I am the person who packs and hour before a flight, does laundry the night before a road trip and ALWAYS forgets something at home. I am headed to Nelspruit for a few nights and as busy as […]

My tiny […]
Read MoreImagine being locked in a room and having to rely on your problem solving skills to make it out by the time the large monitor on the wall hits the 1 hour mark. Yes, it’s real. And YES it is probably the most fun I have ever had.
Read MoreI cannot tell you how Often I get asked why I live in Johannesburg, if I am from Cape Town. Every-time I explain that I work for a wine estate (am opening a tasting room/brand) but am based in Joburg, people’s immediate response is “Why on earth did you choose Joburg over Cape Town?”. Recently my answers […]
Read MoreNo really, THE EASIEST recipe ever. Even when it flops it’s pretty damn good. I felt like something sweet because life has been pretty bitter lately. Those whom know me well know that I am an okayish (home) cook but a miserable baker. I don’t know why but my cakes collapse and my cookies are […]
Read MoreAs some of you might know, I recently spent a few days in hospital…from a spider bite. Yes, its sounds like BS but I assure you it was quite kak. It was a Friday afternoon and the gate motor of our complex seized up and needed to be manually unlocked and opened. Since I am […]

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.
