  1. Packing an Overnight Bag

    May 9, 2013 by the Sleep Walker

    I can hardly contain my excitement! I’ve managed to get a few days off and will be going down to Cape Town to see my mummy and daddy. This will be my second visit since the year began and thankfully it’s over Mother’s Day weekend! Though I’ll be there for a few days all I ever take home are gifts and the essentials. This is the only trip packing for which is never much of a hassle.

  2. Staying Fit in Hotel Rooms

    April 25, 2013 by the Sleep Walker

    I have been on a steady travel schedule for nearly a decade. When I was 23  I found the job of my dreams: it suited what I wanted to do with my life at the time and had potential for a little travel. When I left it two years later I landed a different job which was more geared to my life plan. This job had travel as a main feature, which suited me perfectly. The only downside was that within a year of traveling, deadlines and eating exotic food every chance I got I had gained weight. Not only that I was far from the fit girl who played netball three times a week and ran at least bi-weekly. WhileI was on my annual leave I devised a plan to help me stay fit in Hotel rooms.

    March 28, 2013 by the Sleep Walker

    Happy Thursday to all you Jetsetters!

    Today is the last day of this very short or the last few hours standing between you and the long weekend. This is one of my favourite long weekends in the year as all I ever do is be with my loved ones and eat too much chocolate. But for the first time since high school I will not be at home for the festivities and too-much-eating. A few friends and I are heading down to the KZN coast to savour the last sunny days and swim to out hearts’ content. I often get a lot of question about packing and how I choose what to take me on trips, so today I’ll be sharing my tips for packing for a short trip

    March 14, 2013 by the Sleep Walker

    I’ve done my fair share of couch surfing and visiting destinations because friends offered to put me up in their guest bedroom/home office.

    I’m often asked how I manage to get quality sleep and relaxation in hotel rooms and varying timezones (read how do seem to be so relatively sane while living an erratic life.) I’ve addressed jet lag, which is the biggest hinderance against getting quality sleep here and here. But some people have travel sleeping problems that go beyond simple jet lag.

  8. Things to do Instead of Unpacking

    January 10, 2013 by the Sleep Walker

    Happy Thursday!

    I’ve finally made my way home after a long, eventful, fun and well-deserved break; I had reminders set to go off every two days that said “you deserve this.” But after three days of being on holiday I found that I didn’t even need the messages to remind me that I deserve the break or to relax and have fun — the life of leisure and I got on famously. So famous in fact I’ve been hoping it lasts forever.

    January 3, 2013 by the Sleep Walker

    Old Biscuit Mill, Cape Town

    It’s that dreaded time of the year again when jetsetters are all jetting back home with incredible memories from their travels and even more wanderlust. It’s a sad time because most of us travelers have used up our travel funds with last year’s last travel adventure. Whatever little we have in the travel piggy bank we’ll be adding to in order to undertake the next great adventure of our lives — I know I am.
