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 are constantly hit with a barrage of pictures from friends traveling 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 the towns are not the same. They are 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.

Road trips are a trend of the past with everyone jumping onto a plane. But personally, road tripping is my favourite form of travel.

The Western Cape has the worlds best beaches with pristine white sand, glittering blue ocean with a blend of two oceans, the options are endless. And with summer still around, it’s best to spend the lazy days at the beach.
