    As regular readers may know, Chanel and Stevo love to camp, and they've done a fair amount of it in Africa, North America, Australia, and even Europe in all sorts of set-ups like campers, tents and RVs. So it's no surprise that they'll jump at any opportunity to camp. But camping presents a lot of options. Maybe you’re new to the experience, or perhaps you want to know how to elevate your next excursion. What suits you best — an RV, camper or tent? Even within these categories, you have several options. It pays to investigate the pros and cons of each beforehand so that you don’t waste precious money on gear that doesn’t suit your needs. Let’s explore the pros...

    We know that there’s many reasons to visit Sydney, but chances are, it’s the beaches that are calling your name…as they should be – there’s over 100 of them! Scattered around the harbour and along the coast, you will certainly be spoiled for choice when it comes to finding the perfect spot to dip your toes into the sand. But what if you only have a day dedicated to beach hopping? Well then you’ve come to the right place, because after visiting Sydney (now for our third time), we’ve decided to create four one-day beach-hopping itineraries for you, so that you can decide what sort of Sydney beach experience you’d want from your trip. Sound good? Let’s get stuck into it...

    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...

    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 family wedding bells in kangaroo-filled nature parks, and boat rides across aquamarine waters surrounding deserted islands, to wine farm hopping and beach dune camping, our trip to Western Australia has been one for the record books.   WEDDING BELLS IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA   Our final stop in the Australian leg of this trip, after two high-class weeks in Sydney, was filled with festivities, quite literally, for days. Stevo's oldest brother got married on November 7th at the gorgeous Serpentine Retreat Centre. With a sunset ceremony and some chilling acapella performances from the cover band, we danced the night away (and stuffed our faces the Spanish way with possibly the best paella I had ever tasted, from the Olè Paella catering crew). Biggest congrats...

    Our first true experience of jet lag and homesickness, (arriving in Sydney) felt hugely familiar. From the jacarandas mimicking those of Pretoria's avenues, to the bustle of the CBD with buildings resembling Sandton's tower, we felt like we were back home in South Africa. Granted, the warm climate, English signage, social bar-and-restaurant culture, and left-roadside driving did seem a little familiar. But Sydney's oceanfront and ferry rides between the famous Circular Quay (home to the Harbour bridge and Opera House) and the place we called home for two-weeks in Manly, was enough to wipe all the Johannesburg familiarity away. We spent a couple days missioning around the sleek, modern city, discovering Newtown (Sydney's quirky-and-fond-of-vegan-cuisine student region, where we met the amazing team from...

    Our motto and motivation is to “collect experiences, not things”. Whilst on our journey, we’re aiming to spend our time and money on spectacular experiences, to be left with incredible learnings and memories, not tangible objects. This way, we’re sure to keep our lives light without additional luggage, but also be the change we want to see in the world. Our next featured experience is a day at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney. Place us in an exotic area, with nothing to do but spot wildlife, and you'll have us occupied for hours. Quite literally six amazing hours, which we spent running around in the rain like a couple of wellington-adorned toddlers, spotting every possible animal we could have dreamed of. Taronga Zoo could...
