Vaalie by birth (born and raised in Johannesburg), but Capetonian by nature. I am a hiking, cycling, motorcycling and outdoor nut. When not guiding guests around our amazing city, you will find me in the mountains, on the trails, riding a dirt road and just exploring what our magic country has to offer. My claim to fame is that I am the only person to have travelled along Chapman’s peak drive on one, two, three and four wheels. No, I did not wheel up Chappies, I rode it one a unicycle!
