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. 

A seaside vacation a mere two hours from the City is all you need to start off the year anew and, there’s no better place to stay at where you can smell and hear the sea right under your nose than in Paternoster. 

Breakfast has never been the most important meal of the day for me. Its usually substituted by at least three cups of strong coffee but the older I got, the more I enjoyed small breakfast spots like Cocoa Wah Wah in Rondebosch. 

We all sit and daydream. Daydream when work will be over, when is the next public holiday or in my case, daydream for a holiday where I can put up my feet and do nothing.
