Are you thinking about going on an exciting and life-changing travel adventure? Of course, with COVID-19, many travel plans have been ruined, and you may need to rethink about the destinations, type of travel, or even your departure day, but maybe this time in quarantine has also allowed you to reflect on your life choices, and has allowed you to take some time to think about what’s really important in life. Well, if quitting it all to go on a travel adventure (like us) is rising on your list of #lifegoals and priorities – interjecting here to say, “YAY!” – then you will need to make sure that you are planning it the right way, and asking the right questions....

This week’s post’s goal is to inspire a little minimalism. Although we don’t shout it from the rooftops, we are huge advocates for living a simple, yet meaningful life. Since having our epiphany and giving up our work-hard-to-buy-stuff-and-then-buy-more-stuff life back in Johannesburg, to live a save-save-save-then-spend-on-experiences kind of life, we’ve had to adjust, and I mean really adjust. Besides the obvious things like furniture and house cleaning goods (because, well, we simply have no house for them), there are a few things we have actively and voluntarily removed from our lives, simply because we find no use for them anymore. So whether you’re living a 9-to-5 life like we used to, or you yourself are a full time traveller, we...

Chances are you’re looking for your next big European adventure. Maybe you’re interested in some cultural excursions through the ages. Or you’re super keen on trying some traditional cuisine (and well-crafted beer). Maybe you want to go somewhere beautiful, no matter what time of year it is. If any of those scenarios apply to you, we can assure you Prague will completely overwhelm you (in the best way possible). There is so much to do and see in this fine city, and even staying for a few nights is enough to make you fall in love and plan your next trip (#truestory – we’re already planning our return in 2018).       But we don’t feel like we need...

We are HUGE fans of deserts. Desserts too, but I’ll save that for another post. Let’s talk about the dusty, red, perfect-for-a-minimalist-shot landscape that has left many adventurers gasping for air…and the one in South Africa in particular. Although we haven’t (technically) seen many in the flesh…hmmm, as I recall now, only four come to mind – the Namib in Namibia, the Sonoran in Arizona, most recently the tropical desert in Ica, Peru, and the sacred semi-arid desert in our home country South Africa – the Tankwa Karoo (which this post is dedicated to).     What we can immediately say, is that no matter which desert you’re in, you are bound to get lost. With such vast open areas surrounding you,...
