Still can’t believe it’s been a few years since I left Kuilsriver for Paarl.

Some days I miss the buzz of Cape Town, but waking up to the mountains and vineyards has been such a blessing. Fresh air, slower pace, and such a warm community.

Truly feels like home now

Whether it’s bungee jumping at Bloukrans Bridge, kayaking on the Orange River, or hiking Drakensberg peaks, South Africa is an outdoor paradise.

My most recent adventure?
