Our Pursuit
Hello! Welcome to our blog! In 2016, we took a break from our jobs to travel around the world. We visited 13 countries, learned a ton about ourselves and the world around us, and made memories we will never forget!

The list goes on and on. Now that we have researched AND gone on safari, we thought we would break down a few of those misconceptions for you.

It literally has it all. White sand surfing beaches, hiking in the mountains, world-renowned restaurants, and wine country are all within a stone’s throw. Don’t forget the 70 and 80-degree days in the middle of winter. If that wasn’t enough, the people of Cape Town are some of the friendliest we have ever met. No interaction was left without a smile, a joke, and a big ‘ole belly laugh. Oh, and to top it all off, it’s incredibly affordable (at least compared to western standards).
