Right now I’m sitting in the Oryx Lounge in Doha airport, Qatar, enjoying the wifi & food and reflecting on what’s ahead. There’s no way when I completed my final exams in [...]
All-new Isuzu KB hits SA shores

The Next Great Chapter
I’ve finally completed my degree after 4 years and have taken the last few months to just relax and unwind from 16 years of learning (12 school + 4 university). I’ve been working as a lifeguard on Clifton beach in Cape Town as part of my learning detox and have had the most amazing time. [...]
