Navigating Lockdowns: Personal Reflections on Lost Opportunities

Life during pandemic times: A tumultuous blend of constant travel, vanishing job offers, and precariously teetering freelance work. But wait, it’s not all gloom! Sprinkle in a chaos-induced family reunion after 40 years, the stressful soothing of a stressed mum in isolation, and a stubbornly elusive passport from Namibia. Who says variety is dead?

Travel | Thank You, Lucas

In an unexpected twist of events in Swakopmund, Breakdown-turned-brunch at a gem of a coffee shop brought out the cheesecake lover in my partner, while I found solace in a fancy French breakfast. Navigating a pay-to-pee nightmare led to an impromptu photoshoot with friendly staff. Moral of the story? Bathroom troubles can sprout creativity, and always carry coins for public restrooms!

Amazing Adventures: A Story of Volunteering in South Africa

When life gives you grounded flights, you turn it into a DIY-adventure at a backpacker’s lodge in East London.

Lessons in volunteering? Personal growth and lifelong friendships beat posh vacations. Travel smart, stay safe, and when in doubt, plant a vineyard!

A Free Crypto Mining Rig and Referral Alternative

In the quirky world of 2020 pandemic-era life, my partner and I had to pivot from visas and jobs to volunteering and dabbling in design.

Hunting online work was like seeking a unicorn. Our travel dreams got COVID-cancelled and left in limbo. Then, we navigated treacherous waters of cryptocurrency scams and stumbled on a low-key Bitcoin miner, Computta.

Computta is tantamount to finding a rare Pokémon that brings in pennies, and doesn’t require selling a kidney or your cousin Bob to work!

Political | Freedom of Expression Targeted

Reporters Without Borders is shocked! Despite constitutional guarantees for media freedom in South Africa, it’s under threat thanks to nifty old apartheid legislation, sneaky phone-tapping, and journalist harassment. And guess what? In the middle of a pandemic, the South African government is ushering in an ‘anti-fake-news’ law that essentially signs off on state censorship. Your personal social media posts are not safe either – don’t forget to censor your cat memes!

Heritage | Evolution of Evergreen Traditions

From their evolution as punk rock-style hairdos for evergreens to wheel-like accessories gone independent, the journey of Christmas trees and wreaths surely has been a ride. Starting in Europe, they now serve the holiday spirit as globally recognized emblems of tradition, representing an intoxicating mix of old-world practices and modern interpretations.

As we embrace our keyboard-induced love stories, remember to add a sprinkle of caution and a boatload of gut instinct. After all, it’s a jungle out there – or in this case, a lustrous digital playground. Don’t forget your armor and your sense of humor!

Attempting to Cope with Loss

Venturing into an insomniac’s tumultuous mind, this piece explores the aftermath of losing a loved one through reckless behaviour. You’ll find musical shadowy games, a bed strewn with ghostly memories, and burning anger that would make even a chilli pepper sweat. Comforting sleep? It’s playing hard to get, as usual.
