Franschhoek: Know Your Friends
First things first, can we talk about how all my life I thought Franschhoek had one “h”?

Fried bream Fish with Morogo and Pap
What’s the best local dish you’ve ever eaten while traveling? In 2023 I traveled to Zambia 🇿🇲 and my Zambian friends took me out for lunch at a local food restaurant. OMG! I ate the most delicious meal. To this day I still think of that meal.

Yoga
What do you love now, that you hated when you were younger? When I was younger, Yoga felt so boring and slow. Ten minutes was long in a Yoga class on a good day🤣. Now, OMG! It is my savior, every time after the class I feel like am walking on air 😆. I feel…
