South Africa

    South Africa / 16.03.2016

    Cape Town holds a very special place in my heart. For some reason (and I think I know the reason now, since my good friend Ollie explained the theory of Earth chakras and vortexes, to us the other day ) I have always felt calm and at peace when in Cape Town. It's bizarre, especially because, of the seven trips I've done to Cape Town, six have been for work, so memories of calmness and tranquility shouldn't be associated with this city, yet somehow there's an energy here that simply leaves me feeling amazing. This city is truly world-class in terms of activities, things to see and do, and of course for photography and videography, so we thought we'd take this...

    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 visit to the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town. As I'm sure you've gathered, we LOVE animals; furry ones, fluffy ones, slippery ones, and ones that can imitate other ones. I think my childhood dream (a long, long time ago) was to become a marine biologist...

    BE INSPIRED, Creativity, South Africa / 02.03.2015

    Here we are, the day of departure, and every possible butterfly in the world is currently stored in our 2 bellies. We’ve spent the last few days saying our (very sad) goodbyes, selling our cars and furniture, handing over our rental apartment keys to the Estate Agent, and packing (what is left of) our belongings into 4 bags. Liberating doesn’t even begin to explain it. And somehow we don’t feel so alone in our quest for anti-Stuffocation. We have 6 friends in our immediate circle who, just like us, are currently enjoying the #SabbaticalVibes. Strangely, all coming from the advertising industry…coincidence? But either way, maybe us “crazies” who believe we should sell it all to travel the world are onto something. Just recently we heard Graham Moore push...

    Isn’t it strange how, when you’re a tourist in a foreign place, everything you see is exciting and photo-worthy? From the gripping architecture, and unfamiliar landscapes, to the local cookery, and strangers you meet along the way. You automatically find yourself stopping to take it all in, capturing every part of your journey because you subconsciously think that you might never see or experience it again. On the contrary, when you’ve driven down the same street for decades, eaten at the same restaurants, and passed the same buildings, you forget to look. It’s as if you’re wearing blinkers, strongly forcing yourself to only focus on getting to point B. You miss out on the tourist’s perspective, taking things for granted and missing out on everything the...

    Here we are. Post number 1 and, iconically, 50 days until we leave for the craziest journey we’ll probably ever have. Eeeeeeeek! It’s actually sinking in now – we have less than 2 months to finalise travel itineraries, sell the remainder of our stuff, transfer ZARs to EUROs, and get some thermals for the snow (I know right - typical Southern Hemisphereans - no clue what to wear in the snow, ha), before we set off on a trip around the world (ok, technically not around as there will be some back and forth through Europe and then maybe a little up and down Downunder, but 'around the world' sounds so much better). For both of us, Johannesburg has been home...
