Are you planning to take some trips in Europe? Summer sun in Croatia, or ski resorts in France? We're breaking down the most popular destinations for your 2021 holiday....
If I told you that we’d made 218 new friends in the past 18 months, would you believe me? People from Australia, Norway, Canada, Singapore and Italy. People aged 18, 45, and 31. People who we had planned encounters with, and people who miraculously stumbled into our lives, and now we have them on speed dial (ok, so we don’t actually have them on speed dial, because, well, we don’t make any calls these days, but if we had actively-calling phones, we’d have these people on speed dial). It’s no secret that travel broadens your network and allows you to meet people from completely different walks of life. I guess Stevo and I expected to meet people on the journey; it’s...
As you can imagine, we are traveling on a super tight budget. Any costs we can cut, we will do our best to do so. That being said, though, there are two things we spoil ourselves with in each and every city. Chanel, of course, tastes a local pastry (as it's part of our Wanderlist), and I, well, I spoil myself by buying, tasting and photographing a local beer. Beer has always been a part of my life. I'm not saying that I'm a drunk, but I really do enjoy the nuances of beer tasting, and with over 30 countries under our belts, we had to unbuckle them somewhat after all the beer we've tasted on this journey. But it's really difficult to say who...
Since departing on our journey over 15 months ago, we have visited 79 cites and towns, in 24 countries throughout Europe, Africa and Australia...
Let me start off by saying that animal portraiture is a lot harder than it looks. We knew this from the many hours we spent 'dog stalking' back home at some of Johannesburg's many parks. Anyone remember @PixelPaws on Instagram? Yes, that was our first 'shot' at moving-target photography. We literally have thousands of dog portraits on our hard drive, so we should look at sharing more of those...
From wet ferry rides to museum-filled islands, and inspiring photography hubs with views of city skyline sunsets, our visit to Stockholm has to be one of our favourite city-in-twenty-four-hours trips thus far. Not only did this Scandanavian beauty welcome us with its many beautiful sightings and special "Fika" rituals, we found ourselves leaving creatively enriched. Highlights include taking a silly photo at the ABBA museum (for my mom of course), gandering with geese at the lake side parks, and spending nothing short of three hours at the Fotografiska Museum of Photography, where three new How Far From Home project ideas were born (watch this space). Big thanks goes to @amvphotography_ on Instagram who suggested a visit to the museum. To say that...
Last night we watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty again. Not only did we nod along to every song (since we've been listening to the soundtrack on loop since we left Johannesburg), and appreciate the breathtaking cinematography a little more, but I feel like I finally understood the meaning of his "zone out moments". If you haven't seen the movie yet, (I sincerely think you should cancel your Friday night plans and buy/rent/download it), you'll see Walter drifting into these imaginative visions throughout the movie. He lives a pretty boring, safe and routine-led life, yet his imagination takes him away from it. He conjures up exotic locations, fantastical powers and weird resolutions to his everyday occurrences. But by the end of...
