I’m on a mission to get you to explore as much as possible while highlighting unique stays, destinations and adventures.
My Story
In 2013, I got my first passport and fly to Naples for 3-weeks of delicious Italian food and wine.
When I got back home, my feet were restless. So much so, I quit my job two weeks later, and moved from Joburg to Cape Town to start my career in the the travel industry.
Over the next two years, I travelled to India, Laos, Thailand, and London for work, but it wasn’t enough.
I wanted to experience slow travel. Once again, I quit my job, but this time, I flew to Thailand to teach English.
While in the Land of Smiles, I started a freelance writing side hustle and its been funding my wanderlust full-time since 2017.
