There’s something quite magical about waking up in a new city. I didn’t need much help from my alarm that morning, as I had slept like a dead person the night before. I was also really excited because I had 2 things planned for that day – the Hot Rod City Tour at 11 and…

Bohemia Part 4: Letna Park and a Vltava sunset cruise, Prague
On my last free day in Prague, the one thing I had left to do was visit Letna Park. From what my tour guide Derek had said the previous day, the view from there was number 1 on his list of Top 5 Views. Upon observing it’s position in relation to the city, I figured…
Bohemia Part 3: Prague Castle and the Strahov Monastery
There are very few times in my life of which I can remember experiencing absolutely perfect weather; 1 October 2015, the day I went to Prague Castle, was one of them. The previous day, my Free Walking Tour guide, Derek, convinced me to take the Prague Castle tour. When he said that visiting the castle by…
Austria Part 1: Salzburg
Salzburg was a place I grew up wanting to visit for several reasons, and after seeing Innsbruck in 2012, I was even more keen to see another Austrian city. Like the other cities I went to on this trip, I spent 4 nights in Salzburg, which was actually too long. I never cared to look at…
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…
10 Photos to Make You Want to Stay in a South African bush
A few months ago my friend and I booked a weekend away to the Mongena Game Lodge, about an hour out of Pretoria. Having grown up in South Africa, neither of us have actually explored it, and often we miss what’s right under our very noses. Here are some of my favourite photos from the…
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…
Trip to Europe: Day 13 – Pisa and Monaco
16 June 2012. I was super excited for the drive as I’d finally be seeing the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the French Riviera, and, most importantly, Monaco. They were 3 things that my mother had spoken of for years, and I couldn’t believe that I’d finally be seeing them in person. We left pretty late…
My CNN Travel Photo of the Day
I was thrilled to find out that my photo of the gardens at Windsor Castle was not only the Editor’s Pick, but the Travel Photo of the Day for 28 Jan 2013 as well! I filtered the photo with Instagram, but the original was chosen as the photo of the day, which was really awesome….
Places (I want) to Visit and Why
The world is huge. There’s no denying it. I read an article on CNN recently entitled “Give Children the Gift of Travel” and while reading it, I couldn’t help but nod my head. As a child, my parents took me everywhere, from weekends in the Drakensburg Mountains to the coastal towns of Margate, Ramsgate and Port Elizabeth, to…
