If you have travelled along the world-famous Garden Route of South Africa, you most probably stopped off at Oudtshoorn along the way to visit one of the many Ostrich Farms. The largest flightless bird in the world (imagine if they could fly!), Ostriches really are funny looking creatures, and as we found out during our…

Cruise Holidays – Do You Love ‘em or Hate ‘em?
When it comes to cruise holidays, it seems like there is a huge divide between travellers… Some people love the idea of spending a week or two sailing the seven seas, with 24-hour dining, endless entertainment options, and a new port to visit almost every day, but others, well they seem to find the idea…
Going Loco Down in…Cabo San Lucas!
It might not have the same ring to it as Acapulco, but Cabo San Lucas is a fantastic place to ‘go loco’ in Mexico, and if you have ever visited the well-known and much-loved ‘Cabo-Wabo’ – well, you will know exactly what I am talking about! Cabo San Lucas doesn’t seem to have established itself…
The Best Thing About Travel Is… Trying New Foods
I absolutely love trying new foods, and while I definitely wouldn’t eat anything that was still alive (grubs) or something I believe to be cruel (shark fin soup), I will pretty much try anything on the menu when I visit a foreign land – after all, isn’t that part of the fun! On my travels…
Phuket Perspective – A Girls Point of View
What is the first thing that comes into your mind when you hear the words Phuket, Thailand? A sun-drenched holiday destination in the Andaman Sea? An exotic location for backpackers and surfers? A fun and friendly resort for families? A hedonistic zone for sex-tourism? Well, I guess, when it comes down to it, Phuket is…
Happy Fourth of July America!
If I could fly off anywhere in the world today, I think I would have pack my bags and head over to the good old USA and celebrate Independence Day with all the wonderful friends we have made over there over the years. I know this special day is dedicated to America declaring its independence…
Time for Tibet
If there is one country sitting right at the top of my Bucket List, it would have to be the ‘forbidden’ land of Tibet. Home to the mighty Mount Everest (one side at least!), and the imposing and inhospitable Himalayan Mountain Range, Tibet has drawn intrepid travellers for centuries, and I too am beginning to feel the…
Silhouettes in the Sand – Strike a Pose South African Style!
South Africa might be famous for its exhilarating wildlife safari experiences, but it also offers a fantastic selection of flora, fauna and beach safaris for those who wish to experience the true beauty of this magical land. During one of our visits to SA, we were invited to stay at one of the most exclusive…
Beautiful Boutique Hotels – Where You are So Much More than a Number
While I am not averse to staying in larger hotels (especially in Las Vegas!), I do feel that they lack personality, the personal touch that makes a good holiday a great holiday, and the opportunity to meet other travellers, as one might in a small boutique hotel. Larger hotels may be more cost-effective and convenient…
Getting Hot & Spicy in Louisiana
The home of Cajun and Creole Cuisine, Dixieland Jazz, the Mississippi River and the world-famous Mardi Gras of New Orleans, Louisiana is an action-packed holiday destination for those who enjoy to eat, drink and be merry! One of the most beautiful US States that I have visited (so far!), and a destination that has much…
Life’s a Beach…
There is nothing quite like sitting on a beach… the soft sand between your toes, the sound of waves crashing against the shore, the warm sun on your face, the delicate breeze of salty sea air… In fact, I love everything about beaches, even when they are cold, wet and windy, and as that is…
Friday Photo Session: Fabulous Fancourt South Africa – A Golf Resort for the Connoisseur
I could write all day about how wonderful Fancourt Golf Resort is in George, South Africa, but as we are now proud to include this breathtaking resort in our own portfolio, we thought we would just share some of the magnificent photos that Fancourt South Africa has kindly shared with us… All Photos Courtesy of…
