What does travel mean to you?
Travel is all about getting out and about to places you ultimately wouldn’t have travelled to before.
I personally love going to places where there aren’t people - which I know is getting rarer and rarer, but that would be first on my list.
What are your top 5 travel items?
You are passionate about captive lion conservaion, tell us more.
I want to educate people that don’t realise the full extent of lions being bred for different consumptive purposes. When visitors come to South Africa to pet a lion cub, or take a selfie with one, ultimately those lions grow up and face the risk of getting shot by canned hunting (in a controlled environment) and also by trophy hunters and potentially their bones get shipped to SE Asia to use in traditional Chinese medicine. These activities are wide spread but should not be happening.
As well as NosiLife, our Kiwi range of clothing is made from fibres which are now proven to be impenetrable to most biting insects, which gives you NosiDefence - keep bugs at arm’s length.
NosiDefence fabric provides a robust barrier of specially constructed fibres which are too tough for biting insects to penetrate. So the NosiDefence fabric will help to defend your skin from insect bites allowing you to enjoy your adventures carefree.
