I was 20 when I made the decision to live abroad. I can even remember the moment itself, the clear night, stars out, moon’s bright, the open window where I sat dreaming of a bigger life. It’s almost cliche. But the desire to see more of this world and the realisation that it was more than the “what if”s and “I want”s. Something changed that … Continue reading Money & Travel – Seeing the Big Picture
It’s not often that I find myself fighting to hang on to a passing moment. To travel – that was always the dream, not just to wander but to search in and through a land so that I could find something. Isn’t it typical? Man’s quest for meaning. But what I found is this longing, that something could last just a little longer, not necessarily … Continue reading Don’t Close your Eyes Darling
Sitting on my old bedroom floor inside the house in which I grew up, with a mess of clothes next to me, all tangled into a large pile sat on top of my suitcase waiting to be given a home, I ask myself this question, Should I put my clothes into my old cupboards filled to the brim with dated pieces and old wedding gowns … Continue reading Moving Back Home and Starting Over
The feeling of loneliness doesn’t surprise me. It sort of comes with living on your own and moving abroad. It happens. Some days you feel it creep in beneath you and some days you are elated that you’re alone. It’s a mix bag of feelings that you tend to ride as life ebbs and flows, and I guess I’m just here to say that I … Continue reading About Feeling Alone in a New Place
For the past two years I’ve been so fortunate to have lived abroad. And in a lot of ways, Seoul feels like my home. I remember having a conversation with an old friend about defining this word ‘home’, both of us being South African and living abroad, and to her, home was not the town where we grew up in as kids, but more so … Continue reading Leaving my Home in Seoul
Walking through Yongma Land early on a Sunday morning felt a bit strange. If I’m honest, I had quite a bit of expectations to photograph the space but once I arrived, and even on the walk up through the trees, the dry leaves beneath me, a worn down building whose windows scream out a darkness at you, approaching the old man at the gate, the … Continue reading Exploring Seoul’s Abandoned Amusement Park Yongma Land
I’ve never seen a sunset that wasn’t pretty, that never made me stop in awe of it, and as with a lot of you I’m sure, sunsets are something you always remember. I remember seeing the sunset in Saudi Arabia on a bus ride from the city of Medina to the holy city of Mecca. I remember seeing the sunset whilst boarding a plane at … Continue reading Sunset over the City
Busan boasts some of South Korea’s most popular beaches, with Haeundae Beach probably being its main attraction. To see the best of Busan you don’t need to visit all of its beaches, though that’s not a bad idea at all. But having different experiences at these beaches can make for a lifetime of memories. Here are are some of my top recommendations! Catch the Sunrise … Continue reading Get the Best of Busan’s Beaches South Korea
Every day of your life can be an adventure, if you want it to be. All you need to do is, choose the life you want and give every ounce of energy you have to work for it. No-one could have ever told me the amount of hours you spend working in a day. And I don’t mean working at your day job, I mean … Continue reading About Keeping Up a Busy Lifestyle
I want to go home, are the words I’d like to utter as I sit beside myself with no-one to voice them to. But what would it matter if there were? And where is home exactly? The idea of travelling and living abroad is an exciting one, one I would rarely opt out for anything else, but there are times, like today where I wish … Continue reading Thoughts on Home
I think by now we all have a Sunday morning routine. My Sundays back in Cape Town were all about brunching at good coffee shops with the girls and basically just enjoying the company of friends. Moving to Korea has obviously changed this as the idea of avo toast with a flat white is surprisingly hard to come by. And it’s not easy to build … Continue reading Lazy Sunday Morning in Seoul
Happy 2018 everybody! Can I still say that seeing that it’s basically February already? January has been as relaxing as it’s been stressful, with ongoing work schedules throughout the new year period and a well deserved break thereafter I finally feel refreshed and ready for the new year (even though one month has already passed us). At first, I didn’t know what I wanted to … Continue reading Seeking Adventure 2018
