This is a guest post courtesy of Rizwana Roomaney. After a very busy year, I needed some vacay time. Being the mother of a 3-year-old meant that I had to find a destination that is both comfortable with enough relaxation options for me and also caters to the needs of a little ball of energy. … [Read more…]
Booking I heard about The Test Kitchen through a very good friend of mine in September last year (2013). I called the restaurant at the end of October 2013 and made a booking thinking that I would get one a week later… try 5 months later! I was shocked. But I made the booking anyway … [Read more…]
I’ve just returned from a long awaited 2-week holiday to Thailand, Malaysia, and Cambodia. In those 2 weeks, we stayed in 5 hotels, traveled to 4 cities, were on 10 flights and ate more KFC than I thought possible. You might think that it’s a lot of traveling to do in 2 weeks but … [Read more…]
Unfortunately for me, the weather wasn’t that great on the few days that I was staying at the 3 Flavours Guesthouse in Pringle Bay. It was hot but unpleasantly windy. As such, I didn’t explore the area to its full extent. I checked out a few of the shops and the small market on Saturday morning. … [Read more…]

I do love the planning and researching part of booking a holiday as I feel you learn so much more about your destination that way … [Read more…]
Inspired by “La Parie”, this little café & pantry is a must see! Huddled in the Heart of Chelsea Village lies this manifestation of a dream born at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, over a box of Parisian macaroons! This dreamy description definitely warrants a visit! So off I went on a Saturday morning to … [Read more…]
Kimberley is a pretty nice town. I can definitely think of worse places to be stuck for an extended amount of time (such as Kuruman). I always hear of students going to Kimberley for comm. service and some actually end up staying – so it can’t be that bad. I reckon any place can be boring, … [Read more…]
I have the privilege of getting to travel to exotic destinations for work – destinations such as Danielskuil, Warrenton, and Kuruman. Living the life I know… At one point, I spent three months in the Northern Cape and became very well acquainted with several of the guesthouses there. Living out of a suitcase was challenging, … [Read more…]
Read our latest interview with Selim here. Handsome, brains and a voice to give you goosebumps. This scintillating up and coming artist – Selim Kagee is the next big thing in classical music (with a slight sexy twist).
