On safari on a budget
The Kruger national park is one of the must do’s for South Africa. When I did my internship in Cape Town, I just had to make a stop in Johannesburg first. From there, I opted for a budget tour through the Kruger park with Livingstone tours. The tour was very…
Cape Range national park

Ferry to Sardinia
One summer I was working on campsites in Europe. I love the feeling of working in holiday situations. It’s almost like you’re on a holiday yourself. When the season ended, I wasn’t finished yet. I wanted more. So I decided to stay to join the team that cleaned and packed all the tents and…
