Its been eleven days since my last trip and I’ve only just realised now that my flying career was “suspended” the way it began; on a trip to Johannesburg almost five years ago.

Valentines Day Glam Camping
Trust me, you seriously don’t need any excuse to visit the “Canvas Hut”. It just so happened that my excuse was a beautiful Valentines Day Surprise!

Okana Skincare – Two Month Review
My skin care journey has been rocky! It’s been bumpy and fiercely aggravated and thats just talking about the physical state of my skin.

Happiness Should No Longer Be Your Goal
Why your pursuit of happiness may never make you happy? So commonly frequented on many a’ list of goals, the words “Happiness” or “To be truly happy”. It saddens me to think that so many people feel the need to identify this as a goal to be achieved or an outcome to arrive at. Ironically […]
People You Should Know: Berlin and Nav
Breaking away from tradition, leaving family behind, pushing boundaries and definitely rejecting stereotypes is what this story is about. Berlin and Nav’s story is one worth telling. I met Berlin while training for Qantas and became very good friends, later meeting Nav. I was a part of their wedding and saw them take off on […]
