Restroom, washroom, water closet or lavatory. What you call this room will depend on where you come from, but in most parts of the world you will be able to navigate to this room by looking for a sign that simply says 'Toilets'.

Traveling Africa On An African Passport
For many years, European passport holders have been given the freedom to move around a majority of their continent without the hassle of arranging a visa beforehand. A similar luxury has been given to people from South American countries in regards to travel from country to country on their continent. So what about Africa? Let’s... Continue Reading →
Traveling & Learning – Around The World
It has long been said that travel broadens the mind. Travel has also been said to be the university of life. I’ve found those statements very accurate when describing what happens to someone who has spent time in another country or area; learning about the people, culture & cuisine. I don’t think of myself as... Continue Reading →

Onwards & Upwards – Doha, Qatar

Deodorant & Panic – Windhoek, Namibia
I planned on writing this post yesterday while I waited to collect my new passport at the Department of Home Affairs, but much to my surprise (and any South African who has been to Home Affairs would not believe me) I was in & out within 13 minutes. So I didn't have time. I flew... Continue Reading →
New Year’s Resolutions – DanVenture Travels
Yes, I am a few months late to set out New Year's resolutions, but being more active on the blog was one of my 2019 resolutions. I haven't been as active on the blog as I intended to when the year started. I think most bloggers have the intention to give their blogs more attention,... Continue Reading →
