Over the 2012 Christmas period I went to visit my aunt and uncle on their farm in Potchefstroom. We took a drive out the one day to their other farm just outside Klerksdorp - for those of you who may be a little lost... ever heard of a place called "Wawiel Park"? My uncle wanted to show us from the road how we could see the lions that were being kept in a Lion Park. We were stuck with in coming traffic behind us and had to proceed up the driveway to make a U-turn. We were surprised to see that it was actually open to the public. For only R50 we had the best experience. We could play with Lion cubs and get to see how they feed all the animals on the farm. Other ... read more

Been sooo long I know!! Pretty much doing back to back courses, been sooo awesome. I’m honestly having the time of my life out here, I really don’t want it to end, and I can’t believe that this is technically my last working day at Outward Bound, and I’m leaving OB in a few days!! Hectic… I’ve made so many awesome new friends here, who have become a big part of my life, a few of which will definitely remain so. South Africa, I feel is part of my home now  I’m glad I’m leaving on a high, it would suck to actually be bored of what I was doing. The lifestyle is so ridiculously different to mine back in Scotland, its going to be so strange when I eventually get home!! I have like ... read more

The clock is ticking. Soon my exams will be over and I will be embarking on the most wonderful trip through Russia, Europe and the UK. For my 21st birthday I recieved this travel opportunity as a gift from my parents. With some extra savings, hard work and the assistance of some family members, I am now able to prepare myself for this once in a lifetime opportunity. I have already done most of my packing. I will fly to Namibia on 23 November to visit my friends and family and then I will return to South Africa on 30 November. I fly to Russia on 1 December. I have been planning this trip since March of 2006 and can not believe that it is finally time for it to become a reality. So with 5 ... read more
