ABOUT
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 as well as the beauty of buildings, the history behind some of them and well... the pure appreciation of them. This, oddly enough, made me more aware and appreciative of the beautiful historical architecture in the places I travel to, even extending to the small wooden cabins I have stayed in. So, what distinguishes me as your travel guide? The answer lies in my unwavering dedication to crafting experiences that appeal to your unique desires, interests, and dreams. Whether you're yearning for heart-pounding adventures, tranquil escapes, or cultural odysseys, I'm here to turn your dreams into reality. My mission is to kindle your wanderlust, provide you with invaluable insights, and help you create memories that will linger in your heart forever.
