I feel so blessed to have been @teekacookson’s plus one to this beautiful bush wedding in South Africa 🇿🇦 Zebras wandering through the reception and kudu trying to join the after-party just added to the experience! 🦓🦌 Thanks for hosting @mongenalodge 🙌 #mrandmrslong
💦 White water pours over red and black rock flanked by greenery as black eagles circle overhead in the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Gardens 😍
I made it to South Africa! 🇿🇦 It’s not at all what I expected: lush, green, modern; well-built infrastructure and solid highways with “robots”🚦I feel like I could be in Europe... but in Africa 🤔 Today we explored 44th Stanley, Newtown and Joburg, but my favourite part was the views of the lavender Jacaranda trees from the West Cliff Four Seasons patio 😍 There’s still so much to see, after all it’s only Day One! 😄 . 📸: @teekacookson (the best travel buddy & left-roadside driver) . . . . #southafrica #travelsouthafrica #westclifffourseasons #travelwriter #travelblogger #patiogoals #flameswestcliff #canadiantraveller #jacaranda #joburg #explorejoburg #johannesburgtraveller #worldtraveller #nextstopsouthafrica #exploremore #justgo
It’s so dark and rainy in #Vancouver these days, I’m ready for vacation ✈️ Good thing I’m heading to South Africa tomorrow 🇿🇦 25 degrees, sunny skies, lions and giraffes here I come! 🚂 . 📸: @derekmeetsworld
Time for a bit of REAL TALK 💫 . I haven’t been posting as much as I usually do, and there’s a few reasons for that: . 1. I’ve been busy with my full-time job, doing social media for @exploremagazine (go follow!) . 2. I’ve been re-evaluating my priorities, and writing my book/studying for my Masters program and taking care of my mental and physical health have come out on top of adventures, which means less cool photos for me to post (do you really want to see me in sweatpants drinking tea crying over my laptop? Didn’t think so.) . 3. I’m trying to open myself up to the “real world” a little more, to sitting down and having deep talks with friends, to taking chances on things that scare me, and to not telling the world everything through social media... cause do you ALL really need to know?! (Answer: no.) . With all these life changes, “slowing down” has actually come pretty naturally to me. It feels good. . Don’t believe me? Give it a try 💫 . PS. Yes that is a non-alcoholic beer 🙌 Five months sober & counting 😏
