A New Joburg
May 6, 2013 by 15 Comments
Johannesburg (Joburg) is a city of contrasts. This cannot be denied. The rich are really rich and live very well and the poor live poorly and often in squalor-there is no middle class. The city of Johannesburg has a terrible international reputation for crime and corruption and the Central Business District (CBD) is considered a […]
South African Wine and Surf in Hermanus
May 2, 2013 by 15 Comments
Hermanus is located about 115km southeast of Cape Town and seems a world away. The mountains and hills above Hermanus and the cliffs and sea below give it a relaxed feel and a vibe that says, “chill out”. I had never heard of Hermanus until recently and was excited to go. Between the wine country […]

April 30, 2013 by 15 Comments
The Worlds 50 Best Restaurants Awards 2013 ceremony happened last night at Guildhall in London. There was a lot of drama and hype surrounding the list this year and I think the list is quite interesting. There are some new entries and some from last year have disappeared.

One of my favorite things about traveling is eating. Eating all types of foods in all types of places, from fine dining to street stalls.

Franschhoek is about 75 kilometers from Cape Town and just past the more famous wine town of Stellenbosch. But that’s OK, […]
The 5 Best Airlines in Africa
April 23, 2013 by 84 Comments
The 5 best airlines in Africa can be as contentious a topic as airlines in Africa in general. Some people are afraid to fly airlines in Africa period. That is obviously because of their own ignorance and fear but not all the fears are self conjured. Many African airlines do not have good safety records […]

SkyJump Las Vegas is an 855 foot jump off the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. SkyJump Las Vegas is the highest jump in North America and is a ton of fun. It gives you a great view of the Vegas Strip and the whole city and desert in general. In my case, I […]
