There is a place in the Middle East located in a very lucrative location. And I do not mean a location rich in various oil and gas resources (*cough* *cough*) but rather in the actual location on the way from Europe to Asia and Oceania. It is a perfect spot to set up an airline … More Doha – The Pearl of Qatar
When planning long trips somewhere it’s always worth checking if you could have a longer stopover to see something new on the way (for free, sort of).

All good things come to an end. It is partly true. Nothing can last forever, except for experiences and memories and I chose to believe that.

Bo-Kaap – an (over)colorful multicultural (mainly Muslim) district is where today’s adventure begins! I have to admit I wanted to see it but had no clue where to go. Stumbled across it on my way to Lion’s Head so… a great find yo! The houses do stand out. Some might find them kitschy, some will admire the location and the … More Bo-Kaap, Lion’s Head and freedom girl!
Yes! You read it right. Table Mountain has been voted as one of the new 7 Wonders of Nature. And rightfully so! The mountain overlooks Cape Town and boasts huge diversity. There are about 2,200 species of plants up there and many of them can not be found anywhere else in the World. There are also many animals … More Table Mountain – One of the new 7 Wonders of Nature
Hello! There is a place so exotic and distant, and yet so familiar and close to our hearts – Its South Africa! And because we are all Africans, it felt a bit like a return home.
