This is Me

Image
I am so excited to be writing my first blog post. This is a introduction to me, Savi J, the founder and editor of The Purple Gypsy. My name is Savannah Jade Klerck and I am an Actuarial Science student in Pretoria, South Africa. However, I am originally from Johannesburg, South Africa so I spend time in both cities.  My favourite colour is Purple and I love Daisies. My style is very Boho. I love anything with fringe and lace. I enjoy wearing balloon pants, maxi skirts and having flowers in my hair. My favourite prints are paisley and floral patterns. I am a true Gypsy at Heart and so my favourite thing to do is travel. I have been fortunate enough to travel to many places around the world including Mozambique, Mauritius, Dubai, Italy, Thailand ,London and Australia, and I do hope to visit more places in the future. The most rewarding holidays for me are beach holidays. Nothing is better than having the wind in yo...

Visiting a Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam

So my blog has been extremely quite lately, due to an unfortunate visit to a local hospital. Wait WHAT??? So lets start from the beginning.

A garbage truck decided to over take us, because there are no rules in Vietnamese traffic, and I landed up lying in the middle of the street. So I checked I was okay and everything seemed lovely until I got to my right thigh.

Thank goodness I had so many amazing angels around me and I managed to get to a hospital. As we drove into the hospital I freaked out because it is very different from what I am used to back in South Africa. The emergency room was tiny and I had a million Vietnamese doctors and nurses trying to help me, however I had no idea what they were trying to say. The language barrier contin...

Floating in Bungalows in Khao Sok National Park

Image
As most of you know, I had an amazing experience on a tour to Thailand in February. One of the stops was Khao Sok National Park. A place I had never heard of before. So, naturally, I looked to Google for some answers and the pictures I saw were something out of a dream. And it proved to be just that. We took a short drive from the train station to a very small port. There we got onto a long tailed boat and we traveled along a natural beauty. The lake is surrounded by beautiful lime stone mountains that are covered in a thick and dense jungle. The one fact that absolutely puzzled me, was that this lake was man-made. I still don't believe it, because it is massive and just so natural. We then stopped in a little lagoon and had a swim. It was so beautiful. The water was calm and just pure perfection. After a short journey, a row of floating bungalows came into view. It was amazing and this was our accommodation for the night. The resort was ...
