    My Favourite Bloggers and Photographers to Follow on Instagram

    11 June 2019 - By 

    As a blogger, I follow a lot of accounts on Instagram. Included in the mix is everything from my friends, colleagues, fellow bloggers/writers, restaurants, hotels, tourism boards and of course, quality, local service providers like photographers, online stores and the like. Some accounts I check up on out of personal interest. While others I engage with or follow for my blog or new content ideas. (Like if I see a new eatery open up and want to review it.) While Instagram is not always my most successful media platform as a blogger… It is definitely my favourite platform as both…

  • Guests’ Corner: Solo World Wanderer, Karen Lynn

    2 January 2018 - By 

    As part of the next instalment in my international version of Guests’ Corner (previously a local South African travel interview section on Tamlyn Amber Wanderlust), I chatted to Karen Lynn, travel consultant and blogger at Solo World Wanderer. Karen Lynn’s passion for travel was sparked from a very young age. Even as a child, she would tear apart the Sunday newspaper, searching for the travel section, which she would then gleefully devour. At 15 (and without the internet), Karen researched, planned and booked her first overseas trip to Paris and Madrid for herself and her family to enjoy. The following…

  • Guests’ Corner: Joana Öfner, @globetrotting_tiger

    29 November 2017 - By 

    As part of the first instalment of my international version of Guests’ Corner – previously a local South African travel interview section on Tamlyn Amber Wanderlust – I chatted to Joana Öfner, a German Insta travel blogger. Joana Öfner is a German Insta blogger at @globetrotting_tiger. Currently, Joana is undergoing her very own personal world trip, roaming around the world as a ‘little tiger’. Her travel Instagram account was born out of a desire to have a feed, which she can share with her loved ones and followers, just for her lovely travel snaps… Follow her journey as she explores beautiful corners of…

  • Guests’ Corner: Alicia Chamaillé, Chamaillé Online

    31 October 2017 - By 

    As part of the next instalment in my Guests’ Corner, a new travel interview segment on Tamlyn Amber Wanderlust, I chatted to SA Insta blogger and writer, Alicia Chamaillé of Chamaillé Online. Alicia was born in a small French village (one that no one has heard of!) – but grew up in the big city of Cape Town, famed for its gorgeous scenery. At a young age, she learnt the power of writing and the magic of words. She also learnt the beauty of capturing life in a single moment, frozen forever. Alicia is a proud dog owner, a hungry…

  • Guests’ Corner: Samantha Snedorf, Sam Sam But Different

    12 September 2017 - By 

    As part of the next instalment in my Guests’ Corner, a new travel interview segment on Tamlyn Amber Wanderlust, I chatted to fellow SA travel blogger, Samantha Snedorf. Born in South Africa during the ’80s, Samantha Snedorf is a true Millennial. Throughout Sam’s life, books have been her constant companion and today, no doubt as a result, she is extremely passionate about writing, particularly lifestyle writing on her blog, Sam Sam But Different. Aside from her writing talents (she’s a qualified journalist with magazine and digital writing experience), Sam is also performer and model, with a flair for the dramatic.…

  • Bakery + Cafe Review: Vovo Telo, Cape Town

    15 February 2016 - By 

    I’m blessed with some fairly extraordinary people in my life and I’m never more of aware of this fact than when my birthday rolls around each February. This year was no different and for my entire, so-called ‘birthday week’, friends and family made sure I was blessed with: love, good company and, not least of all, amazing food – and some top quality ‘caffeine fixes’ too! As a very special birthday treat, one of my close friends said weeks in advance that she wanted to take me out for a light meal and coffee at a place of my choosing.…
