    A South African Local Supporting Locals: Words on Pink

    19 March 2026 - By 

    As part of my ‘A South African Local Supporting Locals’ series, here’s my introductory segment in this blog series. The goal behind this latest series is to highlight small local businesses in South Africa that I admire or wish to share with my readers. 1) What was the main inspiration behind your business? I started Words on Pink in 2026, hot on the heels of a difficult first year postpartum and unexpected retrenchment in 2025. The inspiration behind it is simple: I am a former hard-working career woman who is now essentially a stay-at-home mum to our little one. And,…

    More About Tamlyn Amber Wanderlust – Travel Writing and Photography

    1 February 2022 - By 

    In this post, I share my thoughts on writing, travel blogging and my plans for my travel blog, Tamlyn Amber Wanderlust – Travel Writing and Photography. 1) Who or what inspired you to become a writer? It’s hard to put a finger on what exactly inspired my love of writing – I think, for me, it was just instinctual, like breathing. Since early childhood, I have always loved writing – so I always knew I was destined to be a writer. Unquestionably, in fact. (Although my dream as a child was to write and publish a novel.
