    Solo Travel Inspiration in the Western Cape

    21 May 2021 - By 

    When I first moved to Cape Town, I often had to travel alone. Sometimes, it was a choice – other times, it wasn’t. Regardless, solo travel has shaped me as a traveller – and as an adult. Weirdly enough, solo travel has even made me more confident, especially when it comes to social interactions. I am naturally reserved – but when it comes to travelling, I almost turn into a different person. When I first started doing reviews, I did them alone. This taught me which questions to ask. It also showed me how to engage naturally with others, even…

  • Event Review – BPL Live in Cape Town – Day 2

    19 April 2016 - By 

    Day 2 of the ‘Barclays Premier League (BPL) Live in Cape Town’ Football Event, held on Sunday 20th March in Camps Bay, progressed much as the previous day had done for me, though this time I happily made my way down to the Grand Parade with a fellow football-crazy friend, who is an avid Manchester City fan. We arrived later than I had on Day 1 and if ever the crowds were going to be red, it was certainly that day and thus it was, for time-old rivals Manchester United and Liverpool were both set to play, taking on Manchester…

  • Travel and Beach Review: Gorgeous Clifton – Cape Town’s Unique Beach Quartet

    4 August 2015 - By 

    Cape Town beach-goers are blessed with a wealth of glorious beaches to choose from, starting with the picture-perfect Blouberg to the glamourous Camps Bay, but my favourite by far is the quartet of granite boulder-strewn Clifton beaches, with their frothy, nippy waves that kiss the sandy, pristine shoreline, as yachts frame the seemingly endless horizon and rest serenely upon the breathtakingly beautiful turquoise waters. Though the four beaches – respectively known as: Clifton 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th – share similar surroundings, they each attract their own group(s) of beach-goers and accompanying range of outdoor activities. Visitors from the Mother…

  • Travel and Beach Review: Bloubergstrand Beach, Cape Town

    25 May 2015 - By 

      Found along the M14 road between Big Bay Beach and Table View Beach is the breathtakingly situated Blouberg Beach, otherwise known as ‘Bloubergstrand‘. ‘Blouberg’ is an Afrikaans word that, directly translated, means ‘blue mountain’. This is a most apt name for the Northern Suburb area where this beach can be found, as from here, the famous and well-loved Table Mountain does indeed look beautifully blue. The beach, with its spectacular backdrop and surrounding ocean views – which, due to its often windy conditions, makes it extremely popular for kite- and windsurfers alike – has the most beautiful, clean stretch…

  • Beach Review: Camps Bay Beach, Cape Town

    20 April 2015 - By 

    The locally and internationally famous Camps Bay Beach is the pride and joy of the Mother City. With its beautiful ocean views, mixture of almost turquoise and deep blue waters, pristine white stretch of beach, giant granite boulders and spectacular views of the famous Twelve Apostles mountain range and Lion’s Head, it deserves all the praise it receives and more. A few minutes’ drive from the Cape Town CBD, Camps Bay Beach – and indeed Camps Bay itself –  is well worth a visit on a beautiful summer or even early autumn day for a good, safe and family-friendly day…
