Daughter of Sonia (obviously). Cape Town-based copywriter, storyteller, and professional eater with a degree in Creative Brand Communications.
Self-diagnosed with an incurable obsession with good food, bold cocktails, and travel stories that always end with “Let’s never do this again.”

When I’m not writing about Cape Town’s most delicious corners, you’ll find me somewhere between the City Bowl’s wine lists and mountain views.

Definitely not vegan, sometimes witty, and always curious about what’s on the next plate. En ek praat Afrikaans. 💋
