banana bread

Banana bread is one of the most wonderfully easy things to make when you're lounging around the house over the weekend, and you happen to have a couple of browning squishy bananas. I'm also totally obsessed with this cheese board slate I received a few years ago for Christmas - it makes everything look extra photogenic.

amansara, cambodia

Summer in Cambodia is hot, humid, and sticky. Amansara is a beautiful hotel; with back entrances to Angkor Wat, the property was once residences for guests of the king. Mornings are spent running around exploring temples, followed by lounging around indoors or in a cool dipping pool at the peak of the afternoon heat. Late afternoons are reserved for more temple running as there is an (ever so slight) drop in temperature, and evenings are for retiring early to bed as wake-up calls are at the crack of dawn.

Explore, rinse, explore, repeat.

osaka, nara & kyoto

Japan is always a dream to visit. Food is always in the most beautiful packaging, people are wonderfully polite, and everything is always spotlessly clean. Osaka is one of Japan's largest cities -  known for its street food and nightlife, Dotonbori is a must-see. Nara & Kyoto are both quick, easy train rides away, and full of historic and unique personality.

londolozi

Londolozi was a safari experience truly like no other. Not that I've gone on any other safaris, but our time there was exceptional. The property is beautiful, and is one South Africa's original private game reserves. From the interiors of the treehouse camps, to the warm welcome of the Londolozi staff - you feel right at home in the heart of the African bush.
