Work. Meh. We all have to do it, it’s what fuels our lives – an important link in the chain of life. We work, we make money, we spend our money. And so the cycle goes. Work can be such a mundane task. Day after day, sitting behind a desk, clicking away on the computer…
South Africa is a great country for outdoor music festivals due mainly to the excellent weather and the abundant local talent on offer. Camping is easy and fun, and the festivals are colourful, sociable, safe, and enjoyable. The variety of music too is very broad, from indie to metal, trance to reggae, and folk to rock. A weekend away…
Live to eat, rather than eat to live. A saying that I’d admit to living too. A meal is something to be savored and enjoyed, rather than just eaten for the sake of it. I’ve grown up in a family where food is something special, something to be enjoyed and something to be adventurous with.…
Two weekends ago I went to Bushfire Festival in Swaziland. It was the most awesome experience, and has made it’s way to the top of my list of favourite festivals. I wasn’t entirely sure what we were getting ourselves into when planning on attending this festival for the first time. I’d heard about it through…
Weekends are for chilling out, birthdays and special occasions are for celebrating and days off are to be spent spoiling yourself. Whether you are looking for a Saturday morning breakfast spot, dinner spot to celebrate an occasion with friends and family or somewhere to meet the girls for a midweek gossip over lunch, Morrells…
There are many places around Gauteng that are full of rich cultural history, Irene can be seen as one of these places. A little town that still seems slightly behind in times, yet holds so much character. Irene, located within Centurion, is the epitome of an old school farm village. It is famous for its…
As I mentioned in my last blog post, Who Wants to be a Tree-llionare with Greenpop, I am taking part in a competition to win a trip to Trees for Zambia with GreenPOP (read all about it in said blog post). Part of this competition is to write certain themed blog posts every week to help…
I’ve always had hippy tendencies, they don’t always come out, but they are definitely there. I love nature, I’m generally quite chilled and live the ‘just go with it’ life motto pretty well. I also like tree’s…not the whole tree hugger love trees, but I know that they are pretty awesome and get sad when…
Living in Johannesburg, South Africa, means busy days, traffic, city lifestyles, bright lights and a diary that just doesn’t seem to clear. There is always so much to see and do in the city that one often forgets about its neighbouring areas. Whether you are visiting Johannesburg on a business trip for a few days,…
I love the bush. It’s the best place to go and just forget about civilization for a few days, or even hours. Driving through the bush with nothing on your mind but trying to spot the next ‘big spotting’ and the excitement you feel when you do, is what makes it so worth the long…
Music is one of those things in life that I often take for granted. I listen to it everyday, I have my favourite songs and artists and I love going to live gigs, but I often don’t appreciate it further than its surface. I just enjoy it, that’s it. Then every now and then I…
A few weeks ago I went on a bicycle tour through Soweto, I was representing Traveldudes to do a review of the tour as well as Lebo’s Soweto Backpacker’s who run the tour. You can read my review of the tour on Traveldudes – Cycling Through Soweto, Johannesburg. I really enjoyed the tour, it was…
I’m sure I’ve admitted this before on this blog: I’m a bit of cheap skate at times. Don’t get me wrong, I really don’t mind paying the price for decent services/products etc., but whenever there is a bargain to be had, I’m having it! The words ‘sale’, ‘bargain’, ‘discount’ and (my favourite) ‘free’ are words…
An expression of yourself? Sending a message to society? Trying to rebel? Creating a bit of humour? There are so many reasons for graffiti stickers, and so many different kinds being stuck on walls, windows, light poles, traffic lights, stop signs and sidewalks all over the world. While travelling around Europe I was amazed by…
Shucks but Jozi is getting cooler by the day. The Joburg City Festival is proof of our ‘coolness’. From 25-31 August (yes, that’s next week) the Joburg inner city is going to be a flurry of festival vibes and excitement. For the week there are going to be a series of events happening all over…
