Hey there! I’m Amy – A Canadian travel content creator and blogger who left Toronto on a 1-way flight to Cape Town and never looked back. I’ve spent over 7 months in total living and working from Cape Town and got to know the Western Cape fairly well during that time.

I hope you have a chance to see some of these spots as well.
