If I could be anywhere else in the world right now, I think I would have to choose the Caribbean Island of Anguilla. Beautiful beaches, friendly locals, delicious seaside restaurants, and all the water activities you could possible wish for, Anguilla has it all, and there is nothing more relaxing that watching the sun go…

Are you a ‘Smoaster’ – Do you brag about your Holidays and Travels on Facebook?
Smoasting: Trend of Social Media Boasting When recent guests asked me to list all destinations they would visit during their trip (including transit airports) for “bragging rights”, well, I nearly choked on my cornflakes, but it seems the more we are travelling, the more we are bragging, and the latest trend is to do so…
High Adrenalin Holidays – The New Trend for Active Travellers
If you think that Great Britain is a nation of couch potatoes – think again! A recent poll by the Post Office® found that a whopping 75% of adults aged 18-64 now plan “have a go” active holidays where high-adrenaline sports like paragliding, snowboarding and white water rafting come as part of the package. With…
Double Destination Honeymoons – Getting the Best of Both Worlds
There is nothing more exciting than planning your honeymoon, but how do you decide on where to go and what to do if you both have different ideas on “The Perfect Honeymoon”? The thought of two weeks doing absolutely nothing on a secluded beach in the Indian Ocean may sound like the dream honeymoon for…
Friday’s Photo Session – The Über Cool Camps Bay, Cape Town
A place I once called home, and a place I hope to call home again someday in the future, the über cool Camps Bay in Cape Town is possibly the best place to live in the world! With its beautiful beach, the 12 Apostles Mountain Range, Lions Head, and all the bars and restaurants you…
Next Stop… Namibia
Anyone who follows our blog will know that we have a bucket list of countries we want to visit as long as the Great Wall of China, but if there is one destination we are desperate to explore, it is the vast and beautiful land of Namibia. With the magnificent red dunes of Sossusvlei, the…
The Wonderful Whitsunday Islands – Where Whacky Wetsuits come as Standard!
One of the highlights of our trip to Australia was sailing the magnificent Whitsunday Islands. The weather wasn’t great in terms of sunshine (although it was very warm), and it was stinger season when we visited, but that didn’t detract from the beauty of these spectacular islands in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef…
It’s World Elephant Day 2013
One of the things I love most about travelling to Africa, is that is gives us a rare opportunity to see wild animals living in their natural habitat. Safari parks may not have the open borders we would all like to see, but they are certainly better than the animal parks and zoos we have…
Is Kilimanjaro’s Lemosho Route the most beautiful path to The Roof of Africa?
We have received a lot of enquiries recently about Kilimanjaro’s Lemosho Route, and while I have yet to climb this particular route myself, I am beginning to understand why Tanzanian locals refer to it as “the most beautiful and scenic route” on Mount Kilimanjaro. A longer trek that takes 8 or 9 days, Kilimanjaro’s Lemosho…
Meet the Big Birds of the Little Karoo
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…
The Cape Argus Cycle Tour 2014 – Will you go for Silver or Gold?
With less than four weeks to go until registration opens for the Cape Argus Cycle Tour 2014, we are busy finalising our programs, confirming our hotel reservations, designing our cycling shirts, and searching for a Tandem bike! Having finally persuaded Mr. K that tandem is the way to go in 2014, I checked with our…
Staying Healthy Abroad and Avoiding the Top 5 Travel Bugs
It is no secret that we are travelling further and to more ‘exotic’ destinations than we were some 20 years ago, but what I was surprised to learn from a newspaper article the other day, is that six out of ten travellers fall sick during their holiday! Spanish tummy, sunstroke and mosquito bites are about…
