Allow me to step back in time here, if you will. The following images have been languishing in my “still to be edited” folder for almost 8 months. And through no fault of their own, mind you. The establishment they depict is one of my favourite Cape Winelands locations. Given the competition, that’s top marks! … Continue reading

Bali Part III {Seminyak}
After discovering the wonder, delight and hedonism that was Potato Head Beach Club & Bar, I spent some time (not much, mind you!) exploring the surrounding streets of Seminyak. I discovered that it’s a neighbourhood of contrasts. Dusty streets, overloaded motorbikes, street food stalls and stray dogs contrasted with luxe villas, high-end boutiques, ultra-cool beach … Continue reading
Bali {Part II} Potato Head
And so . . . I started pulling together my post on the Bali beach town of Seminyak, sorting through images and such and then it hit me. A separate, definitive post on Potato Head was in order. Yip, they have named what is probably the coolest beach bar / lounge / hang-out in Seminyak … Continue reading
Ba-li-cious
As I mentioned in last week’s post, I’m still soaking up the contrast, richness and wonder that was Bali and I find myself no closer to sharing my final, edited set of images this week. This is partially due to the fact that they belong to my assignment for now, but also because over 3 … Continue reading
On Board
I’m going on a last-minute work trip to Bali next week. I’m pretty excited as I’ve never been before and I’ve heard so many good things about the place. While my day-to-day handbag resembles the remnants of a small explosion (loose raisins, faded receipts, loose change, dog-eared business cards and the like), I’m pretty darn organised … Continue reading
Far from Silicon Valley
They wanted to visit the Blue Mountains again. But did we really want to go back to the tourist hot spots? And crane our limbs and necks beyond the multitude of cameras, babies, strollers, sun hats and tourist maps just to get a shot? I wanted to see something different. So did they. So I … Continue reading
Quiet Achiever
You may recall that I visited the lovely city of Lisbon a while back. I think of Lisbon as the rarely noticed, but very likeable kid on the playground. Lisbon’s other friends (Paris, Barcelona, Rome) get all the attention, leaving Lisbon somewhat in the shade. While I love spending time with the city’s better known contemporaries, … Continue reading
Not so New Castle
Amongst the illustrious travel destinations that occupy my travel hit list, (read: Tokyo, Peru, The Ngorogo Crater and Vegas etc . . ), there are a few other lesser-known destinations that sit – somewhat uncomfortably – amongst them. Canberra is one. Yes, the Canberra that no-one seems to talk about. Visit. Or acknowledge for that … Continue reading
South Facing
A few months ago, a little bee in my bonnet starting buzzing . . . I’d read a travel article about road tripping down the New South Wales South Coast. As often happens, when the spirit of a place resonates with me, the spark of inspiration can often turn into a mild obsession. Then, as often happens, … Continue reading
Mix Up
As you’ll see, I’ve done a spot of mixing and matching this past week. Aside from my sheer love of the game, I do like to pour through my archived shots. I’m reminded of some of the utterly fabulous places and spaces I’ve been fortunate enough to visit in the past few years. It also … Continue reading
