About a month ago, I found myself in Sofia. I was over the moon about this because the Bulgarian capital had been a place I'd wanted to visit for about 3 years. The more of Europe I see, the more I realize how much more I enjoy being in Eastern Europe as opposed to Western... Continue Reading →
I really wanted to write a post that had no mention of the current situation we are facing, but unfortunately travel is one of the hardest hit industries & there is just no way of ignoring it.

Unfortunately, life has kept me extremely busy & I haven't been able to write updates for my blog in a while. I do hope I will be able to start writing again soon. In the meantime, I would like to share a blog. My brother & sister-in-law have recently immigrated to New Zealand & are... Continue Reading →
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.
