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 […]
Last week budget airline EasyJet announced their October 2015 sales figures, and as expected they reported a month on month rise compared to September. This builds upon an already record breaking first-half profit announced in May, and with the company relying heavily on summer tourism it seems 2015 is set to eclipse all records set […]
Who doesn’t love a road trip? There’s nothing better than rolling the windows down while turning your favourite music up, with South Africa’s stunning scenery around you. One of my favourite road trips to do from Joburg is the drive to Kruger. Most people make Kruger their only destination, but there are quite a few […]
I love getting notifications on my phone. Whether it’s Facebook, whatsapp or Instagram.. I’m definitely addicted to my phone, and I’m not embarrassed to admit it! Whenever I get a spam SMS- it’s such a downer. When I heard about Truemessenger, an app designed to block spam SMS’s, I had to check it out for […]

Hello there! As you know, I’ve been reallocating my priorities away from freelance writing and onto finding a job and working on a few travel startups with classmates at INSEAD. I miss the blog terribly and hope that I’ll find time to write again soon, but right now, that’s just not happening 🙁 If you’re […]
Hello all! I’ve had a lovely Czech blogger offer to write a guest post for me, while I’m snowed under, so here you go! Enjoy! x When I decided to visit Korea, the first thing that everyone said to me was “You’re going to love the food!” And, good travelers of the world, they […]
If you’re into gambling and partying, you’ll have no shortage of things to do in Vegas. While some casinos are better than others, even the most avid gambler will struggle to make his/ her way through more than 3- simply because of the scale and size of them.
