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 →
Instead of starting with the usual apology for being absent for a while, I will just jump straight into my next story. Athens - well, what a city. A city that is old, dirty & incredibly busy... yet absolutely beautiful & maybe just a little bit magical. The city is ancient & a brilliant word... Continue Reading →
I realize that this post probably has the most unusual title, but I promise it will make sense. A few weeks ago, I wrote about some places I wanted to visit in 2019. Baku, Azerbaijan was on that list. I managed to squeeze in a short trip & I am so grateful that I did.... Continue Reading →

India. A country so unique & fascinating that all the words in my vocabulary could be used to describe it in some way & somehow that description would fall flat. Some people do a very good job at summing up their time in India, I was so awestruck that I don’t think I can. I’ll... Continue Reading →
I just got back from a few days in Penang, Malaysia. I had such a great time & I’m really happy I got to experience Penang as I’ve wanted to for some time. Penang Island is an island off the coast of northern mainland Malaysia. Georgetown is located on the island; it is the second... Continue Reading →
I absolutely love being in China. I love the cuisine, I love finding the most random things in any shop I walk into & I love how all the busyness & chaos seeps into & overtakes my thoughts & for a while I’m completely lost in my surroundings. I love how everything seems to be... Continue Reading →
