Appropriated from the original post seen on Traveller24.com   “Good things come to those who wait.” “The longer you wait, the better it gets.” [INSERT ANY OTHER DEEP WAITING-IS-GOOD QUOTE HERE] We have all heard these words. They’ve been quoted and re-quoted throughout our lives. Our parents, well-respected elders, esteemed banks trying to sell us an investment plan, and, well, anyone on Pinterest who collects inspirational quotes, has undoubtedly tried to convince us that indeed, ‘good things come to those who wait’. But in an age of instant gratification, one-click orders, and speedy pick-up and drop-off services like Uber, it is getting harder and harder to justify waiting for anything. So why, in this era, would we even consider waiting an...

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...

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…but then the urge to create things popped up when I left...

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...

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, East African Explorer. This was our third taste of group travel, so one could say we are slowly growing out of the ‘Group-Travel Novice’ status, after the 17-day European excursion late last year, and now this trip – something a little closer to home, and something a little more adventurous. Surprisingly, we’re starting to...
