The Purple Gypsy

My favourite place to go on holidays is a beach destination. I mean who doesn't love leaving a holiday feeling sun-kissed and fresh. So I have put together a list of my opinion of the best dream island destinations in the world. I haven't unfortunately visited many of them but this is purely from what I have seen in pictures or read in books. Santorini, Greece Ko Samui, Thailand Maldives Seychelles Bahamas Bali, Indonesia Mauritius  This is the one place I have been lucky enough to visit and enjoy. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world and a definite must see for every traveler. Barbados, Caribbean Jamaica, Caribbean Let me know which of these islands is your dream destination and let me know which I should add on. (Pictures Sourced from Pinterest.) Lots of Love xxx

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit Cape Town. My family and I intended to go down for the Cape Argus Cycle Challenge, however it was unfortunately cancelled due to extreme weather conditions. Even though the race was cancelled, we still had a lovely time. Cape Town is a beautiful city- one of the most beautiful in the world I believe. The mixture of the gorgeous mountain views and sea-side atmosphere makes for wonderful scenic views all around. Our accomodation was a bit of a let down. We stayed at Villa al Romantica, which wasn't the highlight of our stay. On arrival to the Villa we were unable to contact the owners or find anyone on the property.

Eventually someone came and we were introduced to our room. The room was wonderfully decorated and the view a great one, however our bathroom was out in the hallway and so...

    A place I deem as my ultimate paradise (keeping in mind that I still have many beautiful destinations to visit). It beauty consumes the country and the people. I have been lucky enough to spend a lot of time in the south of Mozambique, that being Ponta do Ouro and Ponta Malongane. The vibe that is Mozambique is one that is difficult to put into words, but I will try. As you set your feet into Mozambique a kind of chilled, relaxed feeling sets in. It is somewhat a carefree feeling that makes one relax as soon as you see the small little towns. In the south it is very rural and underprivileged, with street side food markets and gorgeously hand-crafted street bars. The days are spent soaking in the beautiful sunrays and enjoying a sea of magic. The ocean in Mozambique is one of my favourites in the world. There are no extreme waves, occasionally a few big waves, but most days you can take your lilo into the ocean and float for hours. Qu...
