Hello 👋, I'm Daniella - the founder of Our Soulful Travels & Wildly Successful Travelpreneurs. I'm a South African travel content creator currently living in the gorgeous Garden Route of South Africa with my husband, son 👨‍👩‍👦, and our beloved pets 🐕🐈🐈🐈🐈. I've been in the travel industry since 2017 after overcoming my fear of flying in 2016 by becoming a travel blogger. However, I've been traveling the world since I was 3 with my family. ✈ Since becoming a travel writer, I've had my work published in magazines, written content for airlines, and created guides for hotels that have all sponsored and paid me to travel the world. 💵 I'm a destination expert in South Africa, Zanzibar, and Mauritius and am well-traveled and experienced with destinations such as Portugal, Ireland, Belgium, and the Netherlands as well as others. 🗺 I have a postgraduate degree in psychology and am a big believer in the transformational and healing power of travel. 🧘‍♀️ I also wholeheartedly believe and prove to others constantly that your travels don't end once you have kids. 👶 Therefore my one focus is on curating custom itineraries for anyone searching for luxury wellness, traditional or holistic healing experiences, and transformational travel. ☮ My other focus is on carefully curating custom travel itineraries for families who want to travel together and have wild adventures without compromising on luxury. 📍 If this sounds like you, get in touch, and let's make your travel dreams come true! ✨

Johannesburg
Discovering Johannesburg: Where to Go and Why
Johannesburg, South Africa's largest city, is a bustling metropolis that blends rich history with a vibrant cultural scene. This city, often referred to as Jo'burg or Jozi, is not just a gateway to safaris and other African adventures; it’s a destination in itself. From its towering skyscrapers and glittering malls to its sprawling green spaces and historical museums, Johannesburg offers a treasure trove of experiences for any traveler.
Maboneng Precinct
One cannot mention Johannesburg travel without highlighting the artistic hub of Maboneng Precinct. This lively, urban neighborhood is a perfect blend of creativity and commerce. Maboneng, which means "Place of Light" in Sotho, houses a collection of art galleries, restaurants, cafes, and boutique shops. Visitors can explore outdoor art and sample world cuisines from food markets. The vibrant nightlife and regular events, such as open-air cinemas and live music, ensure that there's always something happening in Maboneng.
Soweto
Another must-visit area is Soweto, South Africa's most famous township. It's a place deeply intertwined with the country's history of apartheid, and a visit here is a poignant experience. Tourists
