I’ve said it before- writing about travel on this blog is a way for me to relive that trip or experience, so I like saving my favourites because I know that once the post is published I’m letting go of it in a way. I spent about a week in Cape Town last month (which […]
Hello there! I have a whole stack of blog posts waiting to be written, but things have picked up pace over in Singapore and all of a sudden, I’m left with very little time. Having come from a Finance background, I may have underestimated the amount of work this MBA involves. A lot of it […]
It’s been close to 2 months since we moved out of our home, and since then we’ve been living out of bags, moving from one hotel to the next. My focus is luxury travel, and after a while 5 star chain hotels just turn into a blur. I know exactly what to expect, and nothing really […]
On 99% of my travels, my expectations are either met or the experience is below my expectations. Oaklands is probably the first place I’ve been to in ages that has exceeded my expectations to this extent. It’s easy to review super luxurious places that I’d never be able to afford in my personal capacity and […]
Writing this post has been on my mind for years, but it took a very long time for me to perfect the art of Travelling With A Man. When I first met my husband, he thought that travelling was a waste of time and money and he had zero inclination to travel. Very quickly, the travel […]
Hello everyone! I’m writing from high up in the air, en route to Vegas from a fab 2 days at Disney in Orlando. I felt this post was necessary ‘cos while there’s tons of info out on the net on what to do when you’re AT Disney, there’s not a whole lot available if you’re […]
It feels strange to write about one holiday while I’m on another. I’m writing from Islamorada in Florida Keys at the moment, and while I normally don’t write on holiday, I’m going to be travelling for the next 6 weeks, so I need to pace myself and try and combine some of my normal life into […]
Hello everyone! After studying finance for level 3 of the CFA exam non stop for the past month, I’m thrilled to be writing again- missed it so much. As of right now, I am currently LOVING my life. I’m sitting in a coffee shop at a corner table, working on my Mac- writing articles, researching […]
So Mother’s Day is coming up- I’m keen to know what you guys have planned! My mom has just moved back to PE- she wasn’t loving JHB, it was too busy and hectic for her, and she got very lonely. If she was around, I’d totes be keen on stealing this giveaway for myself 🙂 […]
I’ve done the whole Kruger thing a few times, and while it is great, I think many people aren’t aware that you can get just as good a big 5 experience in Pilanesberg, which is only 2 hours away from Jozi. Also, 5 star in Pilanesberg is WAY cheaper than 5 star Kruger. Late last […]
A few weekends ago, I flew up to Durban for one of my closest friend’s weddings. I was hosted at the 5 star Suncoast Towers in Durban and I just fell in love with it. It’s super luxurious without being huge and impersonal. Here are 3 reasons I think it’s awesome. 1. Location Situated in […]

Hello all, I really had hoped to blog more once in Singapore but time is just passing by so quickly. I seem to have more freelance writing on my plate than ever before which is great because I don’t have a real job anymore so even the meagre rate per word is better than nothing, but not […]
