My Story

In 2020 I found myself stuck in South Africa due to the pandemic lockdown. What was meant to be a 3-week stay became a whol new life as I fell in love with the country affectionately known as Mzansi. I created unforgettable memories across the country with friends I meet during my unexpected stay. One of these friends surprised me with a ring at a beautiful vineyard in Cape Town, after catching my breath I apparently said yes. 3 years later we still call Johannesburg our home, enjoying our divinely orchestrated life as a family of 3. I now pay it forward by sharing the best of the country with my clients.

“You cannot leave Africa, Africa said. It is always with you, there inside your head. Our rivers run in currents in the swirl of your thumbprints; our drumbeats counting out your pulse; our coastline the silhouette of your soul.”

— Bridget Dore
