I was going to write a detailed post about my whole trip, but I no longer feel called to do this. One, it would take a long time. Two, I’m not sure anyone cares enough to read it all. And three, you can see highlights on my Instagram and achievements of the year post. At… Continue reading A reflection on my trip to South Africa

Amsterdam Part 2: New Sights
Sexy vibesThere are sex shops, peep shows, live sex shows, clubs with prostitutes and more in the Red Light District. I think we expected this, but not to such a scale. In the daytime, it's not so bad, but at night...oh my god. The streets were so jampacked, the people were drooling over the girls,… Continue reading Amsterdam Part 2: New Sights
Amsterdam Trip Part 1: High Vibes
Hotel Luxury The flight to Amsterdam last week was easy-breezy. It's for this reason that my boyfriend and I said we will definitely be going back more than once. As soon as we arrived, we fell in love. We loved the bikes, the public transport, the leaves and pumpkins all around, the misshapen buildings, the… Continue reading Amsterdam Trip Part 1: High Vibes
Exploring the Colossal City of Rome
Rome is a destination on nearly everyone's list of "places to visit" because of the Colosseum (amongst other things). In fact, it's always been one of the iconic monuments that I've always wanted to set eyes on, to remind myself of how amazing this world and the people in it can be - with all… Continue reading Exploring the Colossal City of Rome
Our Trip to Portugal: Part Two
Here's the details from the other half of our trip... Airbnb Ever since I decided to travel for myself, I have stayed (or tried to) in AirBnbs. If you've never used it, give it a try. You can opt to stay in a house, a spare room, or a shared room depending on your budget.… Continue reading Our Trip to Portugal: Part Two
Our Trip to Portugal: Part One
We have just come back from Portugal, and I for one had a great time - to say the least. It was the best holiday I've ever been on, full of so much than the basics. It wasn't just chillin' on the beach. It wasn't just sightseeing. It wasn't all adrenaline and thrill-seeking, either. It… Continue reading Our Trip to Portugal: Part One
Africa and Updates on Plans
This post and the posts to follow are long overdue. Like well overdue. I apologise for that. Anyone who actually consistently reads all of my posts may remember that I mentioned I went to South Africa back in August. I also said that I was writing about it. That was true at the time, but… Continue reading Africa and Updates on Plans
New Year, Same Me
"New Year, New Me" doesn't really work because as the clock strikes 12, we don't actually change. We may have been given a new calendar year, but we are the same people with the same problems and the same bad habits. I don't mean to put a damper on the new year. I for one… Continue reading New Year, Same Me
What We Did in Paris, France
I know I still owe you a post or two about South Africa - they're coming, I swear - but here is a post about my beautiful weekend trip to France... Walked to the top of the Eiffel Tower, much to my legs' agony. Found the Mona Lisa in the Louvre Museum - amongst many… Continue reading What We Did in Paris, France
Where Have I Been?
So, what did I do in South Africa, I hear you ask? Well, here's a quickfire list for you. It was so much more than this list, but I'm writing a book about it all, so you'll have to read that to get more details! I rode a horse in the mountains, overlooking the beautiful… Continue reading Where Have I Been?
