Lunch at @klarasmarket @circusgypsy_megz searching for the perfect toasted avo sarmie is serious business. The pasta was simple, fresh and tasty. Really enjoyed the little marinated potato pieces mixed in. Spicy turmeric smoothie was awesome. @namibia.africa @windhoek_mag #vegan #local #natural #windhoek #namibia (at Klara's Market Place)

Music that stirs the the soul. As we travel and explore i always look for experiences like these. Bayley was completely mesmerized by the rythm and sound. @circusgypsy_megz and i just let her do her thing, dance, sing, stare. For two hours captivated. She is african, we are african, connected. Thank you to @jacksonwahengo and his band for an amazing performance last night at @goetheinstitut_namibia Dissapointed i didnt get to try the pan-fried vegetables with couscous, we where hypnotized. #jacksonwahengo #goetheinstitute #vegan #namibia #windhoek #african #music #live @beautifulnamibia @windhoekccr @windhoek_mag @namibia_boxing_fed @mmanamibia (at Goethe-Institut Namibia)

Sitting on a cliff of grattitude and humility. The otter trail was tough but not that tough. It had a different meaning to me, a different purpose. I set small challenges of hiking in a fasted state, to be ice cold daily and to operate on calorie deficits that where set out for our daily tasks. To see how my mind and body would respond. I learnt alot from that experience. By day two my body adapted and got conditioned to the created and natural environment. In reality i can do more with less. We forget this in our society of abbundance and convenience. I want to do more in a harsher environment with less. #hiking #osprey #nature #sanparks #ottertrail #vegan #veganathlete #plantbased #plantpower #veganpower #vegansociety #blackbelt
