When Mountains are calling!!
Piesangkloof!
What an adventure! There’s nothing quite like the thrill of hiking a new trail, it’s like unwrapping a present, except the gift is sweat, sore calves, days of recovery and breathtaking views. This time, we found ourselves Magaliesberg, and oh my word, my South Africa is gorgeous. Lately, we seem to have developed a habit…
My kids and myself
Who do you spend the most time with? I spend good amount of time with my kids and also by myself. I enjoy my own company. Of course do make time for my relatives and my friends. As you grow older you realize relationships are more important than anything else; priceless .
Balance?
How do you balance work and home life? What balance 🫣😆. If someone finds out how to balance work and home life please let me know. Because I struggle with that, I try and make effort, still working on it . Some days it’s not easy . Maybe one day I will get it right!

Silkaatsnek Heritage Hike My human GPS was working this time, so at least we didn’t end up at the wrong destination. Small victories, right? Just another day in the life of a hiker. The Silkaatsnek Heritage Trail isn’t just about sore muscles and scenic views; it’s immersed in history. The area was once a strategic…
Swimming
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I recently started swimming and I enjoy it so much. I can stay in the water for hours and hours if I could 😊.

We set out for a 10 km hike at 26 Degrees South, a beautiful trail that crosses into Cradle moon before…
Hot- summer is my favorite season of the year
What is your favorite type of weather? I don’t care how unbearable it is, I will take hot weather any day. 😊
My Hiking shoes
Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you. Oh man, these shoes have taken me places, I climbed mountains and mountains 🏔️. Funny enough five years ago I would have said my high heel shoes 🤣. How times have changed 😊
I am doing quite the opposite 😆
Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time? 😊 For me if anything I am adding on new hobbies instead of outgrowing them. 🫣. I added swimming, Pilates and Yoga on top of my long standing favorite hobby; hiking . https://fabtasticyou.wordpress.com/2026/02/08/the-wilderness-my-catch-and-release/ I am enjoying this chapter of my life.
The Wilderness: My Catch and Release
Lately, the word wilderness keeps popping up everywhere I turn. It’s like the universe is whispering, “Go outside already.” And honestly, I’m starting to believe it’s no coincidence. So, this past weekend, destination; my catch and release place, the mountains. First hike of the year, and wow it felt like nature had been holding a…
