Have you ever played with Google earth?
I have spent loads of time looking at our beautiful planet via Google Earth. I’ve discovered amazing beaches, tracks of  wild territory – all places i plan on going to.
I’ll admit that my favorite place is Africa. Always when i have a choice where i want to go to [...]



How to get the Cheapest Flight Always

Jun 11th, 2009 | By Claudia | Category: Claudia's Wild Adventures

I wonder how often have you refrained from taking a trip just because you couldn’t afford the airfare?
You’ll be glad to know that now you can fly a lot cheaper than ever before.
I’m always scanning the net for new offers because I love to travel.
Sometimes I choose to take a leisurely train trip especially when [...]



The pleasures of luxurious travel

May 31st, 2009 | By Claudia | Category: Claudia's Wild Adventures

I don’t know about you, but I for one really enjoy luxurious travel and sumptious accomodation.
It’s not that I’m a snob. In fact I’m the sociable kind. I’m not hung up on peoples backgrounds or what college the went to. I love to travel. In my youth I was ecstatic with my interrail ticket around [...]



South Africa Lifestyle – Cape Flats Lullaby

Oct 10th, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Claudia's Wild Adventures

This endearing lullaby was sent to me from Bill.
Firstly you’ll need to understand what happens in the Cape and how people live to understand this in all it’s depths. It’s a good reason to come on a trip with me….
Hush my laaitie don’t you cry
Daddy’s gonna steal you a GTi,
And if that GTi don’t Torque
Another [...]



Too Bad – Too Sad

Sep 25th, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Claudia's Wild Adventures

Hmmm I just heard the new about Kgalema Motlanthe being chosen by the South African parlament to take the place of Thabo Mbeki. Too me this smacks of  undemocratic politics.
Just so that you know I have dual nationality so that makes me Austro Afro.
Mr Motlane is currently the deputy leader of of the ruling African [...]



My Heart Bleeds for Africa

Sep 24th, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Claudia's Wild Adventures

Here I am in Vienna – eine Welt Stadt as we say in German – translated a World City.
And yes that we surely are. Cosmopolitan, sophisticated, wealthy with a sense of socialism, plus law and order. Respect for nature – we have trees – can’t just chop down a tree, you need permission from the [...]



Why do I love South Africa?

Sep 10th, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Claudia's Wild Adventures

This poem was written by Ian McDonald a South African author.
I received it in my email box this morning from my friend Pam in Johannesburg.
I love her for the perfection of her days
The crisp Karoo morning
The Joburg winter noon
The late summer Cape Town sunset
The star-filled Free State night
I love her for her people
For our warm [...]



The making of an African Activist

Sep 2nd, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Claudia's Wild Adventures

Ory Okolloh grew up in Africa.
She admits that she didn’t belong to the poorest of the poor but by no means did her family live the way a middle class European or American lives.
She gives a touching talk about how it’s up to us to change the world. That is so up my alley. It’s [...]



Richard Bransons Event Planner In Bed with 2 Pussys

Jul 31st, 2008 | By Claudia | Category: Claudia's Wild Adventures

If Bill finds out that I’m displaying pictures of him in bed with 2 pussys – he is gonna plain freak out and he might even get cross with me and talk to me like he did 25 years ago when I was still a kid learning the ropes.
So don’t tell him you got the [...]

Aaah how do I start this blog session?
Well this morning Bill and I were having our usual skype session, planning and scheming about how to give people the ultimate wild adventures experience in Africa.
Suddenly a YouTube link appears and Bill’s exact words are: Please look at this – you will cry I did! With [...]
