How to spend 2 weeks in Japan: The Ultimate Itinerary
Hello hello! It feels good to be back on Jozilicious. It’s probably been a year since I’ve blogged properly. What have I been doing since? Well, DOING. Living in London is so consuming and it’s just super charged vs. my life in JHB. Between work, travel, socialising and just LONDON… being at home with my […]
The Best UK SIM card and underground tickets for tourists in London
In a city like London, you need to be connected 24/7. Whether you’re taking public transport, or walking – Google Maps / Citymapper is a must. – just using public wifi won’t cut it. So what’s the best and cheapest SIM card in the UK? I always recommend Three mobile. Not only do they have […]
The Ultimate 9 Day Iceland Ring Road Itinerary
We’ve just returned from an amazing 9 days in Iceland. As much as I love London, the city does get a bit frenetic from time to time and I don’t realise it at the time, but I get quite wound up from the fast pace. Every now and again it’s so nice to just reconnect […]
Luxury London Weekend Getaway: Linthwaite House in the Lake District
Now that our Schengen visas have expired, we’ve been using the opportunity to explore the UK over weekends. Even when our visas were valid, we didn’t do thaaat much travel. It’s such a mission in London. All 4 of the airports are at least an hour away from home or work. Then, you need to […]

Eating Cape Town: Brunch at Hemelhuijs
Hello there! It’s been close to two weeks since I moved to Cape Town and I’m loving it! I somehow got really lucky in that I got a job at a company that is pretty much perfect for me, and I get to work in their Cape Town office while I wait for my UK […]
Col’cacchio has a sweet Winter deal
When I was overseas, I built up a wish list of food I had to eat while in SA. On that list: pasta at Franco’s, butter chicken at Currylicious, a chip roll from Fateema’s, and pizza from Col’cacchio. So when the latter’s PR got in touch with me and asked if I wanted to review their latest special, […]
Dim Sum Brunch at Mandarin Oriental
In Singapore, brunching is huge, especially on the weekends. People tend to show up at around 11am, and enjoy Prosecco or Bloody Marys until 2pm or 3pm. Most brunch spots offer the usual- Eggs Benedict, Pancakes… you know the deal. Recently, Mandarin Oriental in Singapore invited me over to try their Dim Sum brunch at […]
Jozi’s New Tapas Spot: Vicky Cristina’s
I know I know, Vicky Cristina’s isn’t still “new”, but there is a chance you may not have been there yet. If this is the case, go! I went during the day, and admittedly, the black and red decor does lend itself more to a nighttime ambiance. We tried a little bit of everything and […]
Singapore Restaurant Chronicles- Finally, good wine that doesn’t break the bank!
Before the MBA got started officially, I had about 2 weeks to do restaurant reviews. I really thought that I’d continue reviewing restaurants at the same pace as I did back in SA, and was super excited about discovering a new country’s food. Now that I’ve settled into a routine, it isn’t quite working out […]

My pregnancy and newborn shopping list
So this post has been in my drafts for months… and I have a couple of travel posts I want to get out, so decided to finish up this one first 😀 I’m a researcher and planner by heart, so when I fell pregnant, I immediately started looking into all the things I’d need to […]
My birth story
Just when I was about to surrender Jozilicious, I found myself with a whole bunch of free time, for the first time since I moved to London 🙂 If you follow me on social media, you’ll know that I’m now mum to a beautiful baby boy named Arin. Over the past few months there’s been […]
4 things I learnt at business school (that have nothing to do with business)
INSEAD withdrawal is real. It first hit me when I went back to South Africa immediately after graduation. Imagine having some of the brightest minds around you 24/7 – every conversation you have is engaging and stimulating (even when you’re talking about utter nonsense,) everyone is a risk taker, an achiever, a global citizen. You practice […]
10 things I love about London
I have a strange relationship with London. Most of the time, I’m giddy with excitement at the amount of things to do on any given weekend, and the old architecture, melting pot of cultures, beautiful parks and proximity to the rest of Europe. Other times, I walk out my door, it’s raining again, and I […]
South Africa to London –> how it’s done!
I’ve been wanting to write about my move to London for some time now. The reason it’s taken me this long is, well, because I’m in London. There’s so much to do and see that I find myself constantly overwhelmed at the amount of options available – finding time to blog is quite difficult. We […]

Machu Picchu (with a baby) – everything you need to know
October 14, 2019
It feels so good to blog again! The only reason I’m able to do it is because I’ve just flown back from South America and I’m still jetlagged, hence able to stay up a bit. I miss blogging and sharing so much, I just wish there was a way to get the posts from my […]
