TRAVEL

After 299 days on the road we hit the last bit of tar on the way home to Cape Town. Is it beyond annoying that it’s 299 days and not…

You know, I used to think that I had lived through terrifying experiences. Seeing a massive spider in the shower, having a baby deliver herself without me realising it and…

Oh hello there.  It’s been a while hasn’t it.  If you haven’t been following along with us on our social media (mainly Facebook or Instagram) pages then you probably think…

You know what most people think of when they go on road trips?  The chilly darkness of the early mornings as they get up really early, pack their car and…

It was really great to be on the move again.  Coffee Bay was amazing but I think 5 days is the maximum we should spend in a place.  It’s enough…

One of the most memorable days of our time in Coffee Bay was our walk through the villages surrounding the town.  After doing the hike to The Hole In The…

I know, I know.  We’ve lived in this thing for 4 months, how dare I only show you the inside of the van now? Well, I probably don’t have to…

Getting to Coffee Bay was such a flipping mission.  But breaking down in the dark and then waking up in the loveliest little rural town has its benefits.  You want to make…

I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that the beaches of the Eastern Cape are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen.  Like, it’s not…

Doing something for an extended period of time has never really been my thing.  I fail at all those internet challenges there are out there.  You know what I’m talking…

It’s not often that Seth and I drive into a new town and have the same thoughts about it.  Either I don’t like it for some reason (too humid, lacking…

RIEBEEK EAST, SOUTH AFRICA OK, I have to admit something…  Before heading out on this adventure I didn’t know that Riebeek East existed.  I just didn’t.  Maybe it’s Cape Town…

A question I get asked regularly is how we achieve the work vs life balance and hot damn, it’s going to take me a minute to answer that one.  Mostly…

Even though I really enjoy writing about all the places and the things we got up to while we were there, it doesn’t have the real release that blogging should…

How’s this for ignorant…  Before actually arriving at Addo Elephant Park I had absolutely no idea that there was other wildlife there, you know aside from elephants.  Like obvs they’d…

There’s many things that I have shared on this blog, or maybe over shared. Definitely over shared. But something you may not know about me yet, is that my Dad…

Every night I do this thing where I update my Instagram (and Facebook) with a new post of what we did that day.  Sometimes it’s really difficult to select just…

We were so torn for this part of the adventure.  The plan was to klap it in a day from Oudtshoorn to Jeffrey’s Bay on the 13th.  Why the rush? …

When we worked out our provisional itinerary before setting out on this adventure, we were totally ignorant of what South Africa had to offer.  Funnily enough I even had to…

Do you know how many times I camped before we headed out on this adventure? Three times that I can remember. Once when I was roughly like 11 and we…

Do you know what it takes to pack up your entire life to move into a van?  A lot more than we expected that’s for sure.  I mean we’re ambitious…

So you embark on a massive adventure where you plan to travel the whole of South Africa and a few other countries along the way…  But in a campervan.  Cool,…

So this is going to sounds crazy, but there are just 15 days until we leave.  How did that happen?  Are we ready?  Am I ready?  Not even freaking close. …
