If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is that we need to seize life’s opportunities when we can and we must savour every moment of it. This is the year to say more ‘yes’ to travel and be more open to various types of holidays, whether it’s a mini break with friends or a solo yoga retreat.
For all of us 2021 had its fair share of challenges, one of them being our Festive Season budget. The Visitors’ Information Center in Paarl have put together ideas for various things to help visitors remain penny wise and not pound foolish when exploring Paarl.
