Go Travel: Fish River Canyon and Vogelstrausskluft Lodge
Life is full of surprises. One of the nicest it’s thrown my way lately was Vogelstrausskluft Lodge. Buried beneath the slew of letters that create the longest name I’ve ever mispronounced, there is an incredible place to stay in Namibia.
Go Travel: Moyo (the Follow Up)
Turns out there’s a whole other side to Moyo Blouberg. After naming it one of Cape Town’s best beach bars I went to check out what it’s like at night. Normally I associate Moyo with cocktails around the pool in the middle of sunny afternoons. But sitting inside, when it was dark out (and I was drinking far less cocktails) I realized Moyo has an appeal I didn’t even know about.
What to Avoid When You Travel
Traveling is the best. But sometimes after long flights, longer bus rides and lumpy hostel beds you find that it doesn’t bring out the best in you. In fact, it turns you into a big, old jerk. Suddenly you’re the one yelling “Doesn’t anyone speak English in the god forsaken place?!” and smashing the souvenirs you bought yesterday. It’s not pretty.
Time Travel: Places You Wish You Could Visit in a Different Era
Right look, wrong era
We’re lucky to live in an age where traveling is relatively easy, safe and doable. At this very moment there are interesting things happening all over the globe and history in the making to witness. But sometimes, when you hear stories of how things used to be, don’t you wish you could go back in time and visit a place during the height of its heyday?
If I could manage to track down a time machine here’s where I’d go travel.
Where and How to Sleep when Traveling
Sleep is a hot topic of debate among global travelers. We seem divided over whether sleeping is a worthwhile pursuit when you’re far from home. On one hand time spent sleeping is time not spent sightseeing or exploring. Some argue you should max out your time traveling and worry about sleep afterwards. On the other hand sleeping is a luxury. Many of us don’t get the sleep we need or want when we’re busy with life at home. Your travel time is YOUR time, which means alarm clocks and early mornings should stay far away and leave you in peace.
Cape Town Debate: Blouberg is Better than Camps Bay
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Blouberg is the most underrated part of Cape Town. Guides and travel blogs about Cape Town are always telling you to go travel to Clifton and Camps Bay. They make it out like those are the only two areas worth visiting. Not so! While, admittedly, Clifton and Camps Bay are beautiful and a lot of fun, Blouberg is better.
Here’s why.
Go Travel: Cape Town Kite Surfing
Cape Town is a chilled out beach town. It might technically be a city, but it has the same laid back attitude of the tiny surfer towns you find up and down the coast. Maybe it’s the slow pace of town that makes the adrenaline rush of kite surfing seem all the more extreme.
The best place to kite surf is right in the heart of Blouberg, and the best place to learn is at Yo Mojo.
