I am a traveller, outdoor adventurer and creative at heart. This blog is a simple diary of some of my experiences, captured through my lens and words. Stories of exploration and adventure have inspired me since I was very young. I am not planning on giving up on the chase just yet.

  • I did NOT start my day with emails, but instead with a walk through town all the way to the beach, followed by coffee at the #dockyard collective: A space filled with art and good vibes - it was great to change up the routine a little. They are up the stairs in main road and easy to miss, so keep your eyes open. . . #simonstown #locationindependent #DIGITALworker #ownyourhours . . . . . #abstract #abstractphotography #contemporaryart #creativeart #abstractart #artinfo #modernart #abstraction #contemporaryart #modern #painting #contemporary #ink #draw #fineart #streetart #artgallery #cityofcapetown #visitsouthafrica #thisisafrica #weheartsa #amazingcapetown #capetownsouthafrica
  • I have a thing for tidal pools. This one in particular sees regulars every morning, come rain or shine.. Sometimes I see old ladies share a cup of coffee after their regular dip..or kids jumping and splashing about. Or lovers sunbathe in the sun, the water turning salt on their tanned bodies. We have watched movies on the beach, just a little to the side and have dipped after a hike or a long day behind the computer. But this weekend it was dead quiet, calm and still. A little Ominous. I did not dare disturb the peace, but just sat on the bench and watched. . . . #Kalkbay #stjames #deepsouth #beachday #notsummer #capetown #tidalpools #playoutside

  • I haven't even had a moment to post this lovely pic from last weekend. We have been friends for more than 22 years ❤️ Our boat life has brought new experiences for us all. As much as we are meeting new people, I cherish my old connections and keep them close to my heart while we all learn to cherish the moment(s) with or without our phones. . . . #weekendvibes #weekends #wemeetoutside #unplugtocharge #wherewifiisweak #yachtlife #sailinglife #⚓ #⛵
  • Cheers to exploring the city like a traveller. . . #exploring #artgallery #architecture #capetownsouthafrica #cruisinglife
  • We sailed into the city this week. I mean, literally INTO. And it was swell. It was a great day on the water but my highlight by far was radioing port control asking for permission to enter! What a thrill. And when the bridge opened and we moved through the V&A and saw glorious Table Mountain in the background - what a highlight. . . . . This week has been such a spoil after all the hard boat work. I really want you to visit Cape Town, but sad that when you do, I will not be here to share the experience with you. This place ❤️❤️❤️❤️! . . #visitsouthafrica #visitcapetown #mycity #tablemountain #cruisinglife #yachtliving #preppingforcruising #capetownsouthafrica
  • ((SOUND ON)) Someone asked me if I am grown used to living by the coast (and now ON THE water) and even appreciate it anymore. MY answer is A SIMPLE: NO. . Yes, I am often wrapped up in normal 'Life' admin, work, thoughts but waking up and going to bed with noisy SEAGULL CHATTER and WATER SPLASHING and waves crashing is such a blessing. I pinch myself EVERYDAY. . If you feel in need of a little pick-me-up, listen to the sounds in this clip..it does that without stop. Whether you are watching or not. If it does not make you relax and smile, nothing will. Standing there with you right about now. Enjoy and smell of the salt too, while you are at it. . ⛵⚓🌊 Love from a cold and wet Cape Town, behind my computer.
