Cape Town is the new Bali

We dear people are all herd animals when it comes to traveling. If a place is hot, we want to go there. It's not bad, but it is true. We saw it in Ibiza. The sabbatical year when we all suddenly wanted to backpack in Thailand. Last summer, you saw everyone with a scooter, Hawaiian shirt, and smoothie bowl in Bali. And if you're a bit of a somebody now, you'll be found in Cape Town, South Africa.

Seen anyone from Models in Cape Town? (Yes, the successor to Models in Paris) Man, what a beautiful city. The picturesque neighborhoods, trendy coffee shops, those beaches. Pfff, first everyone was pregnant on Insta, and now everyone is in Cape Town. Lil’ Kleine is chilling somewhere in a grand villa on the mountain, model Jessie Jazz Vuijk is posting one sunny Cape Town pic after another online, and Vivian Hoorn (our cover babe of the latest Amayzine magazine) has made it her second home, and I understand why.

“In Amsterdam, the quality of life is often determined by money and power. In Cape Town, the most important question is whether you are happy. And if the answer is ‘no’, we will do everything to make you answer that question with ‘yes’. I notice here that you derive happiness from yourself and do not let others determine how you feel.” Cape Town in one beautiful quote.

Where do you go when you're there? A few tips from Vivian.

Breakfast

Go to NÜ on Bree Street. Healthy and cheap, what more could a person want?

Beach day

Then you go to Clifton 2. Bring your own towel and food and stay until the sun sets.

Table Mountain

Yeah right, you’re going to Cape Town or not. And this is one of the world's new seven wonders of nature that you must see.

Sports

At Barre Body, but hiking and climbing Lion’s Head is even more fun than the gym.

Dinner

At Kloof the Street House, so delicious and cozy. Do reserve two weeks in advance because the place is super popular.

So, will I see you in Cape Town? I'm already getting my passport ready. And no, not that emergency passport. That's another story.
