About me

World's worst photographer, approaching tavel with the psychology of a financially unforgiving mood ring. Down for bucket list items, to everyday slice-of-life adventures. Trying to live life, not just survive it.

About me

I can't believe that I've been a nomad for more than a year now. I'm enjoying traveling and going where the wind blows me. I love the unknown and can't wait to see what the next year holds.

About me

Hi everyone 🌿 I’m Tamara. Guess I’m finally at the age where I’m tired of waiting around for others in order to see the world. There’s so much of world to explore, so many things to learn and so many people to learn from. I’ve decided that solo travel is my best bet to grow as a person and gain experiences I’ll remember for a lifetime. Thank you so much for hopping on here ✨ Cannot wait to meet some of you adventurous souls!

Traveling is my passion, and I love to learn new things, try new foods, and meet new people. I am very kind and friendly, sometimes a bit shy. But I am very smart amd creative.

About me

Hey! I’m Tayla. I’m currently living in my dream spot back in my home country after living and travelling abroad for 4 years. I live by the sea with my 2 cats and Turkish partner. I absolutely know the struggle of finding safe places to chill while travelling and hope I can be a safe space for some ladies who need it.

Is South Africa safe for women?

Pretoria

Please don't walk around anywhere after dark. Even if there's a lot of people around you. Ask a restaurant personal to walk you to your car. Make sure the Uber driver is who he says he is and that you are in the correct car.

Newcastle, like most of South Africa is not really safe but it’s still way better than all of the big cities like Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. Walking alone at night is a bad habit idea and cat calling is normalised
