The Best Places To Visit In South Africa
EXCITING ADVENTURE AWAITS! ⇷☓⇸ South Africa is certainly a place of wild wonder and natural beauty. With an abundance of nature safaris, majestic mountains, beautiful coastlines and huge bustling cities it has a bit of something for everyone. The best part, is that as a country it is fairly inexpensive to visit and travel there due to their currency being relatively weak compared to the Great British Pound and Euro.

Types of Travelling
TRAVEL FOR EVERYONE ⇷☓⇸ These days, it is quite common to think of travelling as something you do in far and exotic lands, miles away from the comforts of home. Its the thought of spending what seems like days on flights to land in a destination unknown, where you don’t understand the language, the money looks fake, the weather has dramatically changed and the sights and smells are totally unfamiliar. Travel is exotic – but is it? To some degree that version of travelling is very true, but it’s not the only form of travel that we can experience personally. Its the act of going somewhere new, unexplored and away…

The Best Destinations for a Solo Traveller
EXPLORING MORE ⇷☓⇸ There is a certain freedom to being a solo traveller, and one that I fully encourage. To start with, wanting a travel companion may be holding you back from booking that one-way ticket to Bangkok because ‘it’s not a good time for them’ or you just can’t find anyone with the same dreams as you. That just leaves the possibility of solo travelling – ‘you, yourself and well – I’. But don’t despair! There are thousands of people that travel the world by themselves and its one of the best things you can possibly do. Do it for yourself The benefits being that – you run on your…
