If you want to enjoy your morning coffee or tea like a local when in South Africa, be sure to order it with mosbolletjies. This traditional sweet bread is very similar to a brioche, and its origins date back to French settlers in South Africa in the late 1600s. Mosbolletjies are made from the leftover grape paste that is formed during the wine-making process, which is why they are typically only made during the wine-making season. When you sit down for your morning coffee, be sure not to miss out on this novel South African treat! DM or email us today to start booking your next trip.

Across parts of South Africa, you are likely to see beautiful, handmade dolls in some of the shops. While these dolls can make for popular souvenirs, they have a significant meaning.

Their design also varies according to region and customs, and no two dolls are the same. DM or email us today to learn more about planning a trip to South Africa.

Get ready to learn a little about the Hawaiian culture before your trip. Hawaii is attributed to the Spirit of Aloha. It means to treat each other with love and respect. Always remove your shoes if you are invited into someone's home. It's common for younger people to address an elder "Aunty" or "Uncle." A "lei" is given as a gift upon arriving or leaving. It symbolizes affection. It represents a wreath of nature's gifts (flowers, leaves, seeds, nuts, etc.) It is improper to... refuse a lei or to remove it in front of the person who gifted it. Once you're done wearing it, it should be returned to the earth by hanging it as a decoration, or through burying or burning. If you need assistance with planning your trip to Hawaii, We would love to help! Be sure to call us or send us an email.

One of Hawaii's most quintessential symbols is the sweet, vibrant plumeria flower. Many natives wear the flowers by incorporating them into a "lei." The lei goes around your neck, or upon your hair as an accessory. You can even indicate your relationship status through these blooms, over your left ear means you are "taken" and over your right ear means you are "available." The scent of the plumeria can be captured in plumeria-shaped scented floating candles, luxurious body lotions, and even beautiful island jewelry. These items also make great souvenirs and gifts to take home. Don't miss the chance to experience the real thing!
