[PERSONAL] LIVE THE LIFE YOU LOVE

POSTED ON 24 MARCH 2015 BY CLAIRE BUTLER

Actually, the best gift you could have given her was a lifetime of Adventures. - Lewis Carroll, Alice In Wonderland

That's my most favourite quote, ever. I guess growing up in the most beautiful city in the world, Cape Town, left me no choice but to become an adventurer by heart. We have it all in Cape Town: the ocean, the mountains, city life, stunning skies, diverse nature and wildlife - it's an adventuring playground. This year, I've set out to #travelwhereyoulive, and I'll be documenting and sharing my adventures (the professional photography ones, and the personal ones) on this blog and on my instagram feed.

Check out my personal pics from a recent sunset photo mission up Lions Head with fellow photo-enthusiast and adventurer, Frank Pey. Pics taken with my trusty GoPro this time. Keen to join me on a local adventure and #travelwhereyoulive? Email me.

[PERSONAL] SALTWATER SUNDAYS IN YZERFONTEIN

POSTED ON 18 MARCH 2015 BY CLAIRE BUTLER

Being a weekend warrior means weekend hours are like gold to me. Most people at my 8-to-5 are shocked when I tell them "oh I'm usually up by 5:30 on a Saturday", responding only with a "but Saturday's are made for sleeping in!" and a somewhat confused grin. Not in my world. I live in a world of chasing sunsets, seeking adventure, dreaming and exploring (all with some sort of camera in hand). Last weekend there wasn't much swell around but the weather was beautiful, and the ocean relatively warm (by Atlantic standards). A group of us traded in the city bustle for a day of out-of-town saltwater adventures in the small seaside village of Yzerfontein. This is just a personal recount of the day. Thanks for the fun times Tarryn Chudleigh, Paul Chudleigh, Cameron Coetzer and Frank Pey.
