Cape Town is Southern Africa’s most beautiful, most romantic and most celebrated city. And it is also its culinary capital, recently crowned Best City for Food in the World by Condé Nast Traveler. Join me in my exploration of some of Cape Town's best dining spots.

We spent 12 days exploring Tokyo, Kyoto, the countryside, and the coast. From the rush of the cities to the quiet beauty of cherry blossom season, Japan lived up to every expectation, and then some.

We’re not scuba divers and not into overtly touristy spots so we decided to skip Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker in favor of something quieter and more immersive on the main land. What we got was an unforgettable mix of ruins, rivers, reef, and culture.
