About this Blog
Isn’t it true that one of the best things about travelling is the tantalising “you’ll never guess where I’ve been!” factor? It’s really about those fascinating first-hand experiences woven into memorable tales you get to tell and re-tell on your return from that far-flung trip or adventure in exotic or unusual destinations isn’t it?
The Portfolio Collection Travel Blog provides the perfect platform to tell the world all about your wild, wonderful and even downright wacky or amusing experiences and encounters enjoyed on your journeying through South Africa, Swaziland And Lesotho. Of course, this applies equally to our local traveller doing the ‘tourist-in-your-own-backyard’ trip and the most-welcomed visitor from further afield.
As we say here, “local is lekker*”. This blog celebrates all things South African, including the people, the places, the cultures, the food, the music and most importantly, your impressions and experiences.
So as well as telling your traveller’s tales, feel free to use this space to have your say in any number of ways:
- Rave about that off-the-beaten-track bistro where you enjoyed a meal fit for a chief.
- Review a brilliant book by a genius new South African author.
- Remember an immensely quaffable, surprisingly affordable wine you discovered while rambling round the Cape Winelands.
- Or reminisce about days gone by if history’s your thing.
There are plenty of stylish but savvy shoppers trawling the web for tips and nothing goes down quite as well as a choice titbit of local shopping advice.
And if you’ve discovered the best local pub serving the best beers on tap, ideal for watching the rugby or Grand Prix or golf over the weekend, it’s considered the done thing in South Africa to share that kind of information.
In short: If, in the course of your wanderings through South Africa you’ve seen it, tasted it, read it, loved it, bought it, experienced it, taken a photo of it or simply have to share it – whatever ‘it’ is – you’ve come to the right place.
That’s what the Portfolio Travel Blog is all about.
