Almost every year, I like to summarise everything that happened that year. I started last year’s post but for some reason, I never finished it. This year was pretty extraordinary for me and to not write about it would be a real shame. This is a long one. Go get a beverage and some popcorn….

The Pandemic Wake-Up Call
I think it’s safe to say that practically all of us have had some kind of wake-up call since the pandemic hit. Maybe it was realizing who really matters in your life, or that you shouldn’t take life for granted. For me, it was both of those things and the fact that many of the…
Love in the time of Corona
Three months into 2020 and the year has gone in a totally different direction to what we all thought. I had many plans – I expected to start a new job in January after my last contract ended. I also planned to go to Norway and Sweden, and Spain for the Tomatina festival which is…
USA and Canada: The trip I’ve planned the least
This trip should be very interesting. The project I mentioned in my previous post has been moved yet again (with good reason) and this time we are targeting the end of May. I hope to God that that’s the last time it’ll be moved, but the last thing we want to do is sacrifice quality…
Looking back at 2014
Up until the end of May, 2014 was quite a blur for me. I’m not quite sure how time progressed as fast as it did in those 5 months; all I know is that it was only after that did I get my life back. I was going to speak on nearly everything that happened…
Diary of a Home Owner Part 2: A Year Later
I really did not expect to take this long to write Part 2, but the truth is I just wasn’t inspired enough to write it. I know, what inspiration could I possibly need, right? I don’t know either; but I do know that I have it now. I actually can’t believe that I’ve already been…
Things I Did Differently and Why I Wouldn’t Change a Single One of Them
I’ve lived in Gauteng for 4.5 years now. I say Gauteng and not Johannesburg because I was in Pretoria (Centurion) for more than half that period. In the first 2 years or so of living away from my home, I missed Durban. I was so isolated in Centurion due to being so far away from…
2013: What a year
Its been a while since I blogged, I know. Thing is, its difficult spending 8 hours on each post I did about my Contiki tour last year; no I am not finished with that! I actually have about 6 days to write about (3 Contiki + 4 in London which I still don’t have all…
22 Things Happy People Do Differently
What a great post. And, its proof that I’m happy! 😀
Diary of a Home Owner – Part 1
I ended off 2012 by buying myself a garden unit in a complex consisting of 24 units. I’m pretty pleased with myself – being 28 and owning my own property. I was told by a number of people older than me that they wished someone had advised them to buy property when they were in…
