Hi everyone! In a few hours I’m embarking in a five-night backpacking trip through a place called the Tsitsikamma Forest. The pictures I’ve seen look amazing and I’ll be sure to post my own in a week.

Of course this means I’ll be cell phone free for a week so the blog will be quiet.

A quick update on a previous post: I passed all my open water training dives and written test so I am now a PADI certified Open Water Diver. It’s not something I ever anticipated doing but I’m in the business of saying “yes” to things this trip. It has been a great experience so far. I can’t wait to dive more both here in SA and on future trips.

See you in a week.
