| Once In Cape Town Welcome Pack |
This
is a home for budget travellers. After checking and walking around my home for
the next 3 days, I just wanted to get on my social media accounts to tell
everyone about this amazing place I would be staying in.
Once in Cape Town reminded me why I love doing what I do and why I do what I love.
Also, my true purpose in Cape Town and my mission to promote budget African
travel and lifestyle.

On
Friday night we had a dress up braai party with over 30 backpackers making an
appearance, sharing food and drinks. Everyone was from a different corner of
the world, spoke a different language with a different cultural background, but
around that dinner table we were all family. A family of travellers sharing a
meal and travel stories.

When
traveling, it is very important to know you are not alone. Especially if you
are in a foreign country. This braai party was the perfect way to get all the
wanderers united.

What I got from Once In Cape
Town:
·
This place revived my
love for knitting. They have a knitting corner called the “Stitch and Bitch”.
Whatever you knit gets sewn together and a blankie is made to donate to
charity. I did not read a single book while at Once I Cape Town because I was
too busy “stitching and bitching”.
·
Reignited my love for
my work.· Reminded me of my greatness. The true power I possess within.
· Introduced to a whole new world of travelers.
