Back in June, I attended the SA Travel Blog Awards and was lucky enough to win a spot prize – 2 return flights with Fly Blue Crane. The airline is only a year old and is the first airline launched by a woman. Yes! to strong women. My anniversary was coming up so I decided … [Read more…]

Interview with Selim Kagee : Prince Charming who can sing too :)

October 26, 2016 by SuitcasesandLattes 1 Comment

In February 2014, I spoke to Cape Town-born, classical crossover artist Selim Kagee. Since then, he has been doing everything from performing alongside Irish supergroup Celtic Woman, singing the national anthem in Australia to performing live at the Sergio Franchi Memorial Concert in the USA. It seemed only fitting to do a follow-up interview before his up … [Read more…]

October 21, 2016 by SuitcasesandLattes 1 Comment

Post- O.Z.O.R.A. festival in Hungary, we decided to stay a few extra days in Budapest. Budapest is one of those cities….you either love or hate it! And I loved it! First off, the currency used is the Hungarian Forint (HUF). One Rand (ZAR) will get you 19.54 HUF. That’s right readers…… we divide in Budapest! A welcome … [Read more…]

Things to do in Paternoster

October 14, 2016 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

Paternoster is a picturesque fishing village, located on the West Coast, just ~150km from Cape Town. I’ve seen very beautiful photos of Paternoster so I thought that I need to check it out.

Cape Town Spa: Avara Wellness Spa, Century City, Cape Town

October 7, 2016 by SuitcasesandLattes 2 Comments

In an effort to avoid buying birthday cake for my work colleagues, I took leave on my birthday (just kidding, they’re still getting cake!). Anyway, with a whole day of leave to indulge myself, I checked out Groupon and WikiDeals for any specials in a Cape Town spa. Indulgence without the price tag – just … [Read more…]

Langebaan accommodation: That time I stayed in a caravan

September 30, 2016 by SuitcasesandLattes 2 Comments

I saw a ‘holiday home‘ while looking for available Langebaan accommodation on Booking.com, for dirt cheap during peak season. It sounded too good to be true but for that price, it seemed worth the risk. Booking The money didn’t come straight off of my account. Instead, I got an email from the owner asking me to … [Read more…]

Outdoor fun with Acrobranch Constantia, Cape Town

September 14, 2016 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

I was invited to Acrobranch Constantia and didn’t hesitate to say “YES!”. I was keen to check out the obstacle course as it looked physically demanding and included some zip-lining (my favourite!). The day arrived with a mix of terror and excitement. Acrobranch Constantia is situated opposite to the entrance of the Constantia Nek  hike. … [Read more…]

Hidden Gem in the ‘burbs: The Backyard Cafe, Bergvliet

August 16, 2016 by SuitcasesandLattes Leave a Comment

As things go these days, I was scrolling through the Suitcases and Lattes’ Instagram feed and happened across a gorgeous pic of breakfast.
