Hi, I’m Dina

South African | Adventurous Expat | Collector of Travel Misadventures | Cat Lady | Wife

(let’s not tell my husband I put things in that order)

I absolutely love frolicking around the world, with one year in the UK, one year in Spain, a short 4-month travel stint in the USA, and a decent 6,5 years in the UAE behind me, it’s now finally time to embark on my latest adventure: life in Cyprus.

I quickly discovered during my travels that misadventures have a way of finding me – odd people, awkward situations, and bizarre moments. But I’ve also realised that without these so-called “misadventures”, an adventure wouldn’t really be an adventure at all.

I’ve created this blog to start documenting my new life in Cyprus – from confusing encounters (why can we not understand each other even though we’re speaking the same language???) to discovering that life in the Mediterranean is not as calm as I initially thought, you’ll find a mix of humour, honesty, and a touch of chaos. Think of this as my travel diary – unfiltered and quirky.

Pull up a chair, and join me as I laugh, cry and stumble my way through this new (mis)adventure.
