While I’m following the great South African migration to the European summer here on Instagram with great relish and envy, I do feel extremely grateful to have so much to see and do right here in Kenya! South Africans tend to head straight for Europe or South East Asia as soon as they get their passports, but don’t sleep on Kenya! While it may not be as affordable as Thailand, or as culturally diverse as Europe, it is only a 5 hour flight away, doesn’t require a Schengen visa (🥵) and offers beach-to-bush experiences of a lifetime 🇰🇪 My top tip for South Africans travelling to East Africa is to reach out directly to hotels, lodges and your companies to ask if they offer reduced rates for African travellers - they’ll often extend East African rates! #kenya #magicalkenya

I’m 20 weeks pregnant this week and officially half way through my pregnancy. The first trimester was 🤢😷🤕and I suffered with all day morning sickness. If I was awake, I was sick. But I’m currently feeling great and even managing to get back to working out after 4 months of being horizontal with a bowl of cereal at all times.

@keenanmulvaney and I are slipping off to @paradisecovehotel for a belated honeymoon next month - some quality time and relaxing before our little baby comes - and I could NOT be more excited. I absolutely love Mauritius and everything about @attitudehotels and I can’t wait to experience the luxury of their honeymoon offering 🍯🌕 #mauritius #attitudehotels

We had to rush back to SA for a family emergency and have been dealing with a lot this past week. I’m so grateful have friends like @tamsinranger and @roamingwithfox to squeeze while I’m here ❤️

Me: Looking forward to an active pregnancy and a varied, healthy diet for a glowing 9 months 🤰✨🏃‍♀️

Also me: You guys go ahead on your hike, I’m going to eat these salt and vinegar chips and then nap for 2 hours so I can get a break from nausea for a little while 🤢🥺🫠

I am obsessed with letting people know that they absolutely *have to* come to Kenya at least once in their lifetime… but ideally many more times. So here’s your reminder to put Kenya on your list immediately. And while you’re here, you absolutely have to visit @cheshalehotel - it’s only a 1 hour flight from Nairobi, on the most picture perfect beach, with the most laid back vibe, the loveliest people and the most delicious food. 15/10 recommend.

Catch me here all weekend 🌴

Checked into the glorious @cheshalehotel for the weekend. Sometimes I still can’t get over the fact that *this* is a 1 hour flight from my Nairobi apartment #cheshale #kenya #malindi

[SAVE for future reference]

The five books I personally wish I could read again for the first time, for the all-encompassing immersion, the frantic page-turning, the burning-eyed commitment to “one more page before sunrise” that you can only get from reading a book the very first time:

1. The Handmaid’s Tale (I stayed awake through the night when I first read it, goosebumps covering my arms and legs, shaking my head at the horror that felt like it could have been written yesterday. This book started my Margaret Atwood collection)

2. Shantaram (I loved it so much it inspired a 3 week solo trip to India)

3. The Night Circus (I’ve read it 3 times now, but nothing beats the first)

4. The Great Alone (The way this book transported me to a snowy, wild place I’d never imagined was like travelling through time and space)

5. Middlesex (Such an unexpected story that I still think about so often)

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

And the two books I’ve read over and over more than any others:

1. The Beach (I’ve read it about 8 times and still enjoy it)

2. The Rum Diary (Also read this at least 6 times and will continue to read it again and again)

I don’t have a picture of a stack of books right

I don’t have a picture of a stack of books right now so here is one of me with a boat but this caption is about BOOKS 📚

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I asked in my Stories “which book do you wish you could read again for the first time?” and these were the most popular replies - just in case you’re in need of something good to read 🤓

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
[SAVE for when you need a new book]

Where The Crawdads Sing (100% agree)
Gone Girl (The plot twist!)
Harry Potter (Would love to start the series again)
Shantaram (I think it’s been long enough that I could read this again as if it was new)
The Poisonwood Bible (I started this but never got into it - but it was recommended so many times I might try again)
A Little Life (Could never go through the emotional turmoil again)
Homegoing (Currently half way and it is so good)
The Night Circus (Just reread it again for the 3rd time)

I feel like I could do pretty much anything in this suit; swim across a channel, work out, whatever. The underwire top offers great support with adjustable straps and the bottoms are designed to flatter feminine curves with fuller coverage to give you booty a break from being more out and about with every step you take #kenya #lamuisland #mandabay
