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 love proteas so damn much.
  • Flicking through photos of Amsterdam on my phone and it’s sad to think I was so fucking miserable when I was in such an incredible city. All I want to do is go back the way I feel now. See it again. Live it again. I mean just LOOK at it.
  • Hi. Im Lydia. Here’s 3 things you might not Know about me. 1. I am not a fussy eater. You serve it, I’ll try it. I have no hangups with food. But if you give me oats I will politely decline. 2. I have not bought a single note book this year and I vow to use all the ones I have first. 3. I sometimes drive 20km just eat @marcels_za frozen yogurt when my day is shit.

  • If you work in wine, you eventually find yourself in Düsseldorf. It never a stress free visit. But over the years I’ve been there for a number of people. I can’t wait to go back next year for a brand I don’t loathe. I took this photo last year while being miserable as fuck. Here’s to taking the next one with a smile on face.
  • Proteas and afternoon light.
  • “Who touched my @oldenburgwines wine? I’ll claw you.”
