About My Travels

Welcome to "My Journey," a channel created by your friendly neighborhood adventure junkie, Eu Gene! I'm the kind of guy who thinks a comfortable ride is overrated and would rather explore the world on a skateboard, unicycle, or pogo stick (if I could master it).

As a passionate motorcycle rider and traveler, I live by the motto of "Race the Rain, Ride the Wind, and Chase the Sunsets!" But let's be honest, there are times when I end up racing the wind, riding the rain, and chasing my own tail instead.

I've travelled to 78 countries across the globe and have made plenty of mistakes along the way, from ordering food I couldn't pronounce to getting lost in translation with the locals. But hey, that's what makes it an adventure, right?

So join me on this wild ride as I share my experiences, insights, and the occasional dad joke. After all, who said travelling can't be both fun and informative? Let's go somewhere and make some memories!

From there, venture to Bredasdorp, a historic town that is home to the Shipwreck Museum, which tells the fascinating story of the many ships that have met their fate off the nearby coast. Visit the Heuningberg Nature Reserve, where you can hike through the scenic fynbos and spot a variety of wildlife.

Finally, make your way to Franskraal, a coastal town known for its pristine beaches and stunning coastline. Take a walk along the beach and soak in the stunning ocean views. During whale season (June to November), you may even spot a Southern Right Whale or two.

In addition to these charming towns, the Western Cape is also home to some of the most beautiful canola fields in the country. Marvel at the vibrant yellow hues of the sprawling fields, which make for the perfect backdrop for a photo shoot or picnic.
