Sunset hike: Lions Head, Cape Town
Continuing this week’s hiking theme (Click here for my post about hiking Table Mountain!), another Cape Town central hike that you shouldn’t visit South Africa without doing, is Lion’s Head. One of South Africa’s most popular hikes Honestly probably about 60% easier than Table Mountain, it’s much more amateur hiker friendly and incredibly popular with… Continue reading Sunset hike: Lions Head, Cape Town
Hike, hike, baby! Hiking Table Mountain, South Africa via Plattenklip Gorge
Hiking up Table Mountain seemed like an excellent idea, until we set off up the two-hour long vertical stone staircase…
My 36 hour epic train ride: Johannesburg to Cape Town (Shosholoza Meyl)
After an amazing two months in Johannesburg, it was time to uproot again and continue exploring. Next stop: Cape Town. Why fly when you can train? There are, of course, several flights to and from Cape Town and Joburg every day but instead of taking the easy way (because when do I ever do that?)… Continue reading My 36 hour epic train ride: Johannesburg to Cape Town (Shosholoza Meyl)

I left for South Africa in January 2017 and everyone I mentioned the trip to was so excited for my plans… until I mentioned that I would be spending the majority… Continue reading Is Johannesburg safe for solo travellers?
A weekend in: Victoria, Vancouver Island
I was told several times “it never snows in Victoria, even in December you won’t need snow boots” so I wore my converse for the entire weekend and ended up with very wet, cold, SNOWY feet! But the weekend was worth every minorly frost bitten toe: When I first arrived in Canada I didn’t really… Continue reading A weekend in: Victoria, Vancouver Island
Four days (but only 16 hours of daylight) in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Upon finishing my Canadian cowgirl adventures, I looked at a map and thought “Hm, Iceland is kind of on the way from Canada to Europe… It makes sense for me to go there.” and so I did. I picked arguably the worst time of year to visit this beautiful, very Northern country. In December there… Continue reading Four days (but only 16 hours of daylight) in Reykjavik, Iceland.
The Cowgirl Diaries: A Roundup (geddit?)
This is my final Cowgirl Diaries post! My six month long crazy Canadian cowgirl adventure went faster than I could have imagined and I learned more than I thought possible. Below is a round up of really cool things (and not of cows or horses) that I did during my travels throughout Alberta and British… Continue reading The Cowgirl Diaries: A Roundup (geddit?)
