I spent four days in Bar Harbor, Maine, with my sister, exploring Acadia National Park and the surrounding area. Here are my highlights.

We spent five days on holiday in Mtunzini, a small, tropical beach town along the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast.

We spent two days in St. Lucia and unfortunately we didn't see any crocs or hippos walking the streets. But it was still lovely.

My friend Michelle and I spent four days hiking and exploring in the Picos de Europa, a remote mountain range in northern Spain.

Thorsten and I spent a weekend at Royal Natal National Park, stayed at Thendele Camp, and hiked to the spectacular Tugela Gorge.

We spent two days at Leshiba Wilderness, a beautiful lodge in Limpopo with a dual focus on nature and local art.

On the first stop of our Limpopo road trip, Thorsten and I stayed in a cottage at the Tupelo Honey Farm in Magoebaskloof. It was magical.

We visited the 2-billion-year-old Vredefort Dome -- earth's largest and oldest known meteorite crater, which is only 1.5 hours from Joburg.

Thorsten and I spent a weekend in Greyton, a small town less than two hours from Cape Town, and also made a brief wine-tasting stop in Malgas.

Part 3 of my Quirky South Africa road trip series covers our drive through the Garden Route, staying in Storms River and Plettenberg Bay.

We climbed Table Mountain, starting from the Kirstenbosch and up the Skeleton Gorge Trail. Here's how we did it.

Thorten and I went hiking in Kloodendal Nature Reserve. It was my first time there in 11 years, and we saw hundreds of king proteas in bloom.
