Turns out camels are basically big puppies ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿช I loved meeting the gentle natured Honda on the beach in Mombasa. She was given this name by locals because she is friendly and apparently as fast as a Honda motorbike! ๐Ÿ๏ธ

I love watching sunsets at my neighbourhood park. But today was spectacular! Autumn colours everywhere, happy people, pups, families, all under a bright orange moon in a big Joburg sky. A wonderful way to end the month of May. ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒ•๐Ÿ

Spectacular Pretoria! ๐Ÿ˜ Had an amazing hike in Groenkloof. I still canโ€™t believe we have this magical, wonderful, beautiful natural place right in the heart of South Africaโ€™s capital city. ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿฆ’๐Ÿฆ“๐Ÿฆ…

Soft, dreamy sunlight streaming through the leaves, birds singing and a calm stillness all around. Walking through the magical urban forest of The Wilds in Johannesburg always does wonders for my wellbeing ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŽ‹๐ŸฆŽ๐Ÿฆ‰

Out on a beautiful sunny late afternoon stroll. Strangers passing by greeting each other as if weโ€™re good friends, couples of all diversities holding hands, cyclists, walkers, families, pups, all enjoying the outdoors. I love Johannesburg and summer here! ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿซถ

A visit to my favourite museum in the world, McGregor Museum in Kimberley, South Africa. As a young kid, I lived across the street and spent many weekends here exploring, learning, and nurturing my interest in South African heritage and love for the natural environment. ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆโค๏ธ

Love this new mural titled "Kindness is Contagious" by artist Themba Dreda Malaza and partner Marcia Majavu. Itโ€™s part of the โ€˜If Walls Could Talk' Programme by William Humphreys Art Gallery. It inspires kindness and brings positivity and colour to the city of Kimberley in South Africa ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒˆ

So much happened in 2025! I graduated, went to new places, gave back to my community, high school reunion, and pushed health goals. Grateful for a full and blessed year. I gave it my all. Excited for what 2026 will bring. Wishing a prosperous and Happy New Year to you! ๐Ÿค—๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅ‚
