\"Kruger\"<\/p>\n

About Me:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A \u201cHappy Camper\u201d at heart. That pretty much sums me up. Laid back adventure is my style. No crowds, no frills needed, \u00a0just the backdrop and offerings of the natural. Every now and then a touch of luxurious comfort makes for a welcome change but nothing brings me closer to nature than being in it, simply and without \u00a0much man-made distraction.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m in my happy place when immersed in a wild, natural and awe-inspiring environment. Preferably in some untouched corner of our Africa. When I\u2019m not out chasing sunsets and listening to the night sounds of the bush from a tent with my husband, I\u2019m daydreaming and planning the next time we can. I\u2019ll tell you all about it in my blogs.<\/p>\n

My relationship with travel:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Travelling, especially African travel, gives me that \u201cbutterflies-in \u2013my tummy\u201d feeling. I can only explain it as pure happiness. It\u2019s a freedom that feeds my explorer\u2019s appetite but also soothes me. It makes me feel so lucky to be alive and to be able to experience these spaces and make myself part of them.<\/p>\n

Getting away is like massage for the soul. Travel, for me, isn\u2019t only defined by the big bucket list<\/em> stories and trips (although those are amazing in their own right). Backyard travel is so important to me too. It\u2019s the exploring of the places nearby to us and makes for accessible, easy-going getaways. Never underestimate the wonderment that can be found in a weekend away or even a day\u2019s outing somewhere with big open skies and discoveries to be found.<\/p>\n

A Little more about me<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a writer at heart with a travelling problem. Lover of the great outdoors. African travel obsessed. Blogger. Digital Marketing Strategist. New wife. Sister. Daughter. Friend. Dog-Mom. And travel daydreamer.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m proudly from Jo\u2019burg, lived and played in Durban for 4 years, and now we’ve settled in our countryside setting of Hartbeespoort, North West Province (about an hour away from Jo’burg). When I was born, I had big, blue, wide-eyes and hair that wouldn’t lie down. My great gran nicknamed me \u201cBushbaby\u201d (or “nagapie”). I\u2019ve always quite liked that and the way it connected me to the idea of the bushveld. My diary as a child quickly turned into more of a travel journal about our holidays and I suppose I still have the need to document and share those experiences and concrete them into memory. That is what this blog allows me to do.<\/p>\n

Some of my previously published stories<\/a>\u00a0are shared on my blog too.<\/p>\n

All stories, content, photos and opinions are my own unless otherwise stated.<\/p>\n

Please don’t use any without chatting to me first.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to connect with you so please comment on my blogs or contact me<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Happy Travels<\/p>\n
