Tripadvisor is definitely your friend when planning a vacay. However, more often than not, the amount of information can be a little overwhelming though. One of the things I wanted to do while in Phuket was to take a cruise around the picturesque Phang Nga Bay. I know many people go to Phang Nga Bay … [Read more…]
Last week we were invited to the Cape Town launch of Green Monday South Africa. Keen to know more, we made our way down to the uber-cool, steampunk, Truth Coffee in Buitenkant Street. After being treated to delectable starters (animal product free!), yummy almond-milk cappuccinos and chilled tunes courtesy of the band, the Rivertones, we got … [Read more…]
It was killer deciding what to do with our last 2 nights in the magical beach paradise of Phuket!! We had already booked 5 nights at the Holiday Inn Express Patong followed by 2 nights at the Phi Phi Erawan on Phi Phi Island. In the name of blogging, we decided not to go back … [Read more…]
We flew from Capadoccia (Kayseri) to Izmir with SunExpress. Tickets costed only around R350 (32USD). We booked a few months in advance. An overnight bus costed around R150 but takes about 10 hrs – a suitable option if you’re on an extra tight budget. Izmir airport is very modern and well connected. We decided to take … [Read more…]

Earlier this year I saw a Daddy’s Deal for Addis in Cape. This place has been around for a long time but I wasn’t aware that they were halaal-friendly. The clear advertising and the seemingly good deal had me busting out the cheque card faster than my brain could comprehend. Seriously, 7 dishes for two … [Read more…]
I had the privilege of meeting these wonderful women from AMAZI POP UP SHOP a few weeks ago and I was extremely impressed with their skills! What do they do? They are a group of women (nail technicians in training) that provides you with either a manicure or back and neck massage for a small … [Read more…]
Whether to go on a hot-air balloon was actually a difficult decision for me. I knew the experience would be amazing but I couldn’t justify spending that amount of money on an experience that only lasts an hour. That takes a huge chunk of our spending money in what was supposed to be a budget trip … [Read more…]
I was invited to attend the Renascent King Lifestyle Expo held by Renascent Health, a brand that are (according to their website) synonymous with holistic health care, preventative wellness medicine and aesthetic excellence. I was quite intrigued to be invited to a men’s event but hey, the line-up looked interesting and focused on hot topics like diet, vitamin supplementation, … [Read more…]
When planning our trip to Turkey, Cappadocia was a must-see. Cappadocia is a province and not a city. We chose to stay in the town of Goreme as it is close to all the sites we wanted to see and it gave us the opportunity to stay in a cave hotel (Who doesn’t want to … [Read more…]
