FILM DIARIES #2

Hi guys! Welcome to a new episode of FILM DIARIES! These photos were taken during May and June of 2018. I'm not really good at intros, but I do want to say that this may be my favorite roll to date. I really really love these photos, the places and people in them. Enjoy! I …

FILM DIARIES #1

Welcome to the first episode of the film diaries! I'll be posting these as often as I can. It gives me an opportunity to share my love for film photography and sharing stories with you all! So basically, my mom and maybe my cousin in Limpopo. This roll of film was taken during January and …

Ceresiously good time

During our winter break, a bunch of my friends and I set out to go and stay in a little ski hut found in the Matroosberg Nature Reserve in Ceres. It was a very quaint, cosy little wooden house tucked in between forestry, mountains and rocky landscapes. It was quite something. The week was filled …

Obrigada, Mozambique!

I've had the great privilege of traveling this past year. My travels have taken me through ancient, extravagantly beautiful European cities. Picturesque cobblestone streets leading to churches often appearing to be more like a work of art than anything else. But soon after I returned to South Africa, we headed to Mozambique. Mozambique is a …

The end of an Era

It feels like just yesterday that I was sprinting from one wing of O.R Tambo to the other (in the midst of a heatwave), ducking underneath barriers and side-stepping tourists in the attempt to make it in time for my flight to London. My connecting flight from Cape Town had been dreadfully delayed. 'This is …

Oh hot damn, Greece!

Greece is typically a destination you dream about as soon as you exit the womb. Those pastel blue houses dotting the shoreline, donkeys as a mode of transport and the iconic crystal clear waters have all ensured that Greece remains a worldwide hotspot for Island lovers. My experience was slightly different. To be honest, I …

Obrigada, Portugal!

Portugal has been one of those places I've always dreamt about exploring. There is something about its simplistic yet colourful buildings, fresh and irresistible seafood, affordability, unpretentious sense of hospitality and overwhelmingly attractive culture that lures in more and more tourists every year. After not seeing my parents since January, we met in Portugal for …

Lessons from my 19-year-old self

As my gap year is slowly drawing to a close, I’ve started to really reflect on experiences and how they’ve shaped who I am right now. It’s been the craziest year of my life, without a doubt, and this year has taught me the following: 1.) It is completely okay to have your own opinions, …

Ciao bella!

  Italy is without a doubt one of my favorite countries I’ve travelled to this year. I had my first taste of Italy back in May when I found myself in Sicily (refer to earlier blogpost) and instantly knew that I had to come back. In the past few weeks I had the privilege of …

My Topdeck experience!

I recently went on a tour that took us to 10 different countries in 27 days. We started off in England and made our way through multiple locations within France, Switzerland, Monaco, Italy, Greece, Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany and the Netherlands.  Initially I was quite against the idea of an organized tour. I didn’t like …
