England

    England, Wellness / 24.08.2024

    Music brings people together just as much as food and sports. It has impacted culture through rhythms, lyrics and festivals. How can you appreciate the history of music and its most famous figures? The world has numerous ways to celebrate melodies and harmonies and the history of music. Here are the eight best destinations for music lovers.  Photo by: Nigel SB Photography on Unsplash Congo Square Much of the music you know and love comes from jazz. Rock and roll, pop, hip-hop and others thank this genre as a primary influence. So, where did jazz get its start? Head to Congo Square inside Louis Armstrong Park in New Orleans. Some call this site the birthplace of jazz, as musicians gathered to play early...

    Camping with your family can be one of the most rewarding experiences you and your loved ones will ever have. It allows you to get away from day-to-day life, and enjoy some quality time together in nature...

    We don’t know about you guys, but when we find out we’re going to be visiting a massive city like London, we tend to get a little overwhelmed during planning. Not because it’s difficult to find things to do – nooooo. On the contrary, there’s so much to see and do in London – with more Pinterest boards and Insta tags dedicated to the city, than there are people in it – that we worry we won’t get enough time to do it all. So where do we begin when creating a London itinerary? Well, for us it’s easiest to create “themes” or concepts (we have to thank our ad days for that), and then group items together, ending in what...

    Of course one can head out on a Park and Pub Crawl in London at any time of year, but when the days are long, and the sun does in fact show itself in this almost-always-cloudy city, it would be hard to beat the experience. Enter our best idea yet (at least we’d like to think so): Park and Pub Crawl of London – the ultimate London experience for those who love nature (and consuming copious amounts of beer)...

    We’ve partnered up with global bike-sharing system Donkey Republic, and flight and accommodation search engine Momondo, to explore some of Europe’s most esteemed cities, hoping to prove that anywhere, anything, with anyone, at anytime, is simply a bike ride away…oh, and that there’s no better way to explore a city than on two wheels. Follow along in what we have affectionately called our #TourDeDonkey.   Our fourth stop: London, England The mission: Grow our peloton to see the city with a community   Let’s be honest – experiences are better when shared. In fact, anything is better when shared – even Snoop Dogg would agree saying famously, “it ain't no fun if the homies can't have none.” With Snoop’s wise words in mind, and our flight...

    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...

    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 the Topdeck Travel tour, Trail to the Alps. Let's talk about group travel for a minute. First few things that came to mind (up until recently) were: hangovers, no sleep, strangers, tears, young just-left-schoolians, and awkward small talk. A short while ago, our idea of group travel was a fairly chaotic one, as we remembered our 7-day excursion...

    Home to the Union Jack, Queen Elizabeth's guards, (currently) the world's largest Ferris wheel, and the original underground train line, London, let me just say, is on a completely different level. This was not our first trip to London. We galavanted through the British streets back in 2012, on a Eurotrip that inspired us to come back to Europe. It was pleasant to see that not much has changed in three years, and, if anything, London has gotten more beautiful. We were lucky to visit the European Instagram headquarters on this trip, to have lunch with some of the world's coolest and smartest people (they really are). The offices too were (unsurprisingly) fabulous - with game rooms, nap pods and a sweet...
