Travel South Africa: Escape to The Last Word Constantia
I’ve been riding a happy high these past few days. A few things fell into place, and potential was realized; and I am just ever so pleased. With winter drawing ever so near, I wanted to escape to a place that would help reclaim the few tendrils of summer left. I ventured a little away…
Travel South Africa: Escape to O on Kloof Hotel
Hello May! Another month, so another travel escapade became necessary to relieve the stresses already built up these past few weeks. Where did I head to this time? There is a dark architectural fusion wonder of urban chic and classic design, nestled in the deep recess of the Cape Town city, overlooking the Atlantic Seaboard….
Travel South Africa: Escape to Val du Charron

I found Honest Chocolate cafe whilst taking a young walk down Wale street with my Simon&Mary hat protecting me from the sun, and needing…
What’s for Lunch: Yours Truly
While unashamedly marinating in the stereotype of a graduate spending hours on end parked in some dingy lit corner cafe, mainlining coffee and searching for jobs online, I decided to spend the last of my hoarded survival money on a hearty and healthy lunch. I usually pass by this shop whenever I roam Long Street,…
Resurrecting the Lifestyle
One word pretty much sums up why I’ve had an inconsistency in blogging for the past few weeks: Examinations. Despite being in Postgraduate studies, I am still subject to the quintessential varsity experience of being marked according to what I retain in memory (which isn’t much) and what I understand (which usually fluctuates dramatically). Anyway, I…
