🌿 About Me

Hi, I’m Remi Vene. Welcome to my little corner of the internet!

This blog was born out of a simple idea: life in South Africa is too vibrant not to be shared. From weekend markets in Cape Town to hidden hiking trails in Mpumalanga, from cosy home ideas to everyday wellness tips, I created this space to celebrate the kind of lifestyle that feels both inspiring and real.

✨ What You’ll Find Here

On this blog, I write about:

  • Local experiences: events, hidden gems, and seasonal bucket lists across South Africa.
  • Everyday living: wellness tips, home organisation, and mindful routines.
  • Food & culture: recipes, markets, and the traditions that bring people together.
  • Travel & adventure: from road trips to spontaneous day escapes.

My goal is to make this blog a place where you can find ideas that feel doable, affordable, and uniquely South African.

💡 Why I Started This Blog

I wanted more than just quick tips scattered across social media. I wanted a space where I could:

  • Curate inspiration for living fully in South Africa.
  • Share honest experiences (the wins and the lessons).
  • Connect with readers who value authenticity over perfection.

If my posts spark a weekend plan, help you rethink your home space, or simply give you a smile while scrolling, then this blog has done its job.

🌍 A South African Lens

While lifestyle blogs are everywhere, I focus on weaving in the local flavour, from braai culture and springtime jacarandas to the joy of finding an untouched beach on the Wild Coast. Life here is colourful, diverse, and sometimes beautifully unpredictable, and I want this blog to reflect exactly that.

🤝 Let’s Connect

I love hearing from readers, brands, and fellow storytellers. If you’d like to collaborate, swap ideas, or just say hi:

This blog isn’t just about me. It’s about building a community of South Africans (and friends abroad) who see lifestyle as more than a trend, but a way of living well every day.
