Finding your accommodation can be a trickier experience than you might think. Even after planning, checking maps, saving screenshots to your phone and writing down directions. I've had more problems…
The opportunity to volunteer with animals in South Africa was too good to resist. I spent 2 weeks getting to know the big cats and their unique characters.
