Live everyday as if it were your last. I’m sure you heard that before, but have you ever seriously thought about what you would do? I have. - This time two years ago, I received certain earth-shattering news from the doctor, leading me to seriously believe that I might have to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair and that I might not live very long. This was kinda the reason why I quit my full time job and went travelling. I had always loved to travel/backpack and there was one place that stood out to me. It would require some serious hiking for 6-7 days - and up to that point I’d never slept a night in the mountains - but I thought it was now or never. I didn’t know how much longer I had and so the first thing I did after receiving the news was to go hiking in Africa. - The whole experience was just surreal. I had never been to this part of the world, and these mountains would always hold a special place in my heart. They remind me of the life choices I made and how much I had yet to see. We slept under the stars on the edge of a cliff. There was no electricity. No signal. No tourists. Just us - 12 Afrikaans and me - in the wild. I didn’t know what to expect as we were miles off the beaten path. I didn’t even research or google the names. I’d wake up everyday at 6 not knowing what the day had to offer. I didn’t even know where we were going. All I knew was - I wanted to be in the mountains.

After 24 hours of flights and layovers, I touched down in Cape Town just in time for lunch. I took a shower, made new friends and went ahead to hike Lion’s Head - one of Cape Town’s most iconic mountains - for sunset. A few hours later and we were back at the hostel to get changed for dinner. This dinner was meant to be a quick trip, but we ended up spending ages finding a place to eat (we wanted burgers) and waiting for the food. 11pm came and my head finally the pillow. But guess what - we had to get up again at 2am to start prepping for a sunrise hike at Table Mountain - one of the New7Wonders of Nature. Imagine starting the hike at 3.30am when it was pouring rain and all we had were headlamps. Anyway, we made it to the top just in time for sunrise, but it was freezing cold and so we took the first cable car down as soon as it started operating. Then we ordered an Uber back to the hostel where we had just an hour to clean up and eat before heading out to grab our car and venture on our road trip. - So yeah. That’s the snapshot of how my trip usually looks like, and we are talking just the first 24 hours. Pretty hectic, but full of memories! What do you think - is this too much for you? ????????????

We’d wake up at five every morning to drive to one of 10,000 pagodas in the area. We’d climb to the top so we got the perfect view of the landscape and the temples under the rising sun. Can anyone guess where this is?☀️ . . . . . #earthoutdoors #earthfocus #earth_shotz #earthofficial #travelstoke #tlpicks #welivetoexplore #discoverearth #neverstopexploring #krabi #旅行 #景色 #wanderlust #vzcomood #travelgreece #myanmar #depths of earth #ourplanetdaily #เที่ยวไทยเท่ #hellofrom #allaboutadventures #reels #reelsinstagram #instagramreels #tutorials #videotips #mobilephotography #mobilevideography #adventuretime

It’s Time | Discover Chiang Mai with Dusit Hotels & Resorts The final instalment in the four-part series of short campaign films for @dusit.hotels. Might just be our favourite given the whole shoot experience. We practically lived in a van for two days. It wasn’t part of the initial plan but when you filmed in an unknown territory things were bound to go wrong. So we adapted. And yes - part of the solution was deciding to just camp out in the van and by the waterfall. This was our first shoot in Chiang Mai in years and we loved every minute of it (except for when we got ambushed by wild mosquitoes)!

It’s Time | Discover Bangkok with Dusit Hotels & Resorts Another video from the four-part series of short campaign films for @dusit.hotels. This one was a little challenging to shoot - especially the night scenes - as the Awakening Bangkok event which drew big crowds was happening at the same time. Plus - we were filming hotel videos for @dusitthanibkk at the same time and the scenes do not 100% overlap. The whole shoot was indeed a roller coaster. And yes a fun one!

It’s Time | Discover Hua Hin with Dusit Hotels & Resorts Another one in the four-part series of short films, focusing on shared moments between a family and friends. Hua Hin was our first location for the campaign, and we were met with a storm. Fortunately, we never gave up and kept pushing until we got what we needed. The same goes for the other three locations, and it’s fair to say - we are very happy with the result! Super grateful to the cast and crew - and the client - for putting up with our OCD!
