I wish I could take you on holiday.

Greenlydia - A South African Travel Blog

I wish you were able to travel with us.

Travel further than a town and for longer than two days.

I wish it were easy for you.

I wish you understood how much we enjoy spending time with you. I wish you cared as much as we do. I wish you didn’t have so many restless nights. I wish I could do it for you. I wish you could pack up and go explore anytime you want. I wish you didn’t have to suffer. I wish time went faster and things fall into place sooner. I wish time was slower to make the good times last just a minute longer. I wish you knew how much we need you. I wish you knew how much we wish we could take you with us.

I wish you knew how much we wish this all to be true.

I wish I could take you on holiday.

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 do this thing where I’ll be walking and I’ll see a pretty shell or stone and I’ll pop it in my handbag or pocket. Over the years my friends have even gifted me with little stones and crystals. These were all collected in 2018. Every year I empty my little stash into a jar on the bookshelf. These have traveled with me. I have a shell from the banks of the Mosel in Germany, a little quartz like stone in the shape of a heart I picked up when friends from the UK visited and we went on an impromptu adventure including waterfalls, dining out doors and falling off of bolder. A beautiful clear quartz as a gift from a weirdo whose bed I stole. A sea snail shell from Durban. (Still hate Durban) Maybe next year I’ll be fortunate to pick up some more. I wish I could have some of these made into things I could wear.
  • When I celebrate, I celebrate with local friends.
  • The actual light at the end of the tunnel.
  • Hi. Today marks one year and six months since my people first told me it was time to leave my job. I didn’t want to hear it at the time. But they knew. Today marks 2 months of being self employed. It’s fucking scary, but my god I’ve never been happier doing the work I love for all kinds of people. 2019 is shaping up to be a big shift. I’m no longer bound to one place and I plan on making full use of being able to work from anywhere. So here is a Monday selfie. Because I can.
  • Here’s a picture of a Rhino. How lucky am I to live so close to somewhere where we so effortlessly see these creatures. That said, I’m so damn ready to put this year behind me. Bring on new views 2019.
  • Sometimes looking back makes you glad you left. This way you have the best view.
