We quit our office jobs to spend 5 months travelling, it was quite the bold move at that time and we were nervous about what might come of it. We have now been on travel for a little over two weeks. Now we are taking almost everything day by day and loving the hell out of it. It is interesting to see how your life changes when you’re doing something like this. I’m not concerned with sports; I didn’t even try to follow the score of the Super Bowl. All I really read was that some sharks were in Katy Perry’s half time, cool! We are making the day-to-day decision without letting the worries of future events or others perspectives affect our mood. It is really great!

Currently we are sitting at a backpackers in Plettenberg Bay watching the rain storms pass by and reflecting over all the we have already accomplished and all that we still want to get accomplished.

Over the past two weeks we have been extremely busy making the most of Cape Town and it’s surrounding area. Two weeks wasn’t even nearly enough time to get the full feel of Cape Town. This is probably one of the most amazing cities I have ever seen. There are negative and positive things, just like everywhere. When we first arrived we were told that Cape Town was a crazy harmony of first and third world living conditions mixed with sun, sand & earth. A harmony was right! The town has so much character that words and photos can’t describe.

We sailed,

We surfed,

We hiked,

We learned to braai,

We learned some Xhosa,

We learned how to use the myciti bus,

We saw a beach closed because of a Great White,

We had some dodgy experiences on the train,

We had the power go out several times due to load shedding,

We drove past the townships and saw how millions of people are living,

We even saw security forces stunning a sketchy guy down town,

So many unique experiences that we would not have had if we didn’t take this risk. It really can change your perspective when you see how others live. We had great opportunities to stay with some locals who taught us a lot. All we really needed to do was wake up with an open mind and try to fit into this harmony that is Cape Town, South Africa.
