The Western Cape is the mountainous and, arguably the most beautiful province in South Africa and has become one of the populist region to turn your holiday into one you won’t forget.

People often think you need lots of money to be able to travel or if you’re on a tight budget, it will take away from having that travel experience. We think like that because our timelines is constantly hit with a barrage of pictures from friends travelling the world and it’s hard not to be envious. 

Paternoster is exactly how many who’ve been there described it. It’s a little piece of Greece with whitewashed cottages, exquisite shorelines, charming restaurants and home to local fishermen; giving the entire village a romantic air of nostalgia. 

All towns aren’t the same. They different in history, characteristics, religion, faith, people and food. Especially, the food; always viciously searching for relatively unknown attractions, eateries and stories. Yet somehow Vredenburg gave me none of that. None at all.

Road trips were a trend of the past to most when hopping onto a flight became more easier, quicker and accessible but personally, road tripping is my favourite form of travel, and I think that the world needs to embrace the beauty of going off the beaten path and finding the well-kept secrets around them.
