Just an Ordinary Traveler

I have been a lover of life , food and meditation.

I am a young South African local traveler who one day wishes to travel the world. I fell in love with traveling when i took a local trip in the Mother City, Cape Town. Every single time I travel i focus on four things, the people ,the smell of being in a different city, the food and the beauty of the city.

So far Cape Town is my favorite South African Province, the people, the ocean ,the fish and the wind. My love for it is just beyond , it feels like it is my first time every time I visit.

the four things that I mentioned which I think everyone should focus on when traveling is-

1. The people,meeting new people is an interesting thing you get to experience, you get to hear people’s stories, you learn new things and you relate to them in most cases. Start a conversation with the person you’re sitting next to in a plane, I do that a lot , you gain a friend at the end.

2. The Smell, i know it sounds weird but have you been in a different city or a country and the smell of it is just different? you feel alive, at peace and happy, it feels like it’s a new day. Take a moment and embrace the smell.

3. Food, I started a food journey in 2019 , i was eating different food almost every week and I got to learn different food and tasted different wine. I think it’s a must to eat food that you have never eaten before when you travel, traveling and food go together, remember that.

4. Beauty, it’s very important to embrace where you are, look at the mountains, the trees, the flowers and everything around you , it will definitely make you smile.

Live your life like it is your last, pack that bag and explore the world.
