Hello fellow Adventurers, If you have stumbled across my profile, chances are you share my deep-seated passion for travel. I'm Simone, your dedicated travel guru for some magical places across South Africa, even up until Namibia, and I'm here to take you on a journey through my life, experiences, and expertise. I believe that in order for you to truly feel good about choosing me as your travel companion, you should know the person behind the guidebook, the one who will help you craft memories that last a lifetime. From the earliest days of my childhood, I was imbued with a sense of wanderlust that was impossible to ignore. My dad, an avid adventurer, instilled in me a love for adventure and an insatiable curiosity about the world. As I grew older, my fascination with travel only deepened. I found myself engrossed in books about far-off places, dreaming of the day I would get to travel and do things spontaneously. I studied Interior Architecture, with a love for all things aesthetic
