About me | The Travel Info Blogger

Welcome to The Travel Info Blogger! I am Chantal, a South African travel and hiking blogger, living in Johannesburg.

I used to hike a long time ago and I have slowly been building up my fitness levels. It is wonderful to be out on the trails again.

On the travel front, I am unashamedly a tourist – I enjoy seeing the sights – after all, they are famous for a reason!

As you will note from the varied posts, my interests are diverse, and I am enthusiastic about many aspects of the travel experience.

Over the years, I have travelled in different ways (with family, in groups, with friends, semi-solo), but most of my more recent travels have been with my husband (and children). When my husband and I plan our trips, I typically focus on planning the destinations and sightseeing and he typically researches and books the flights, hotels and other transport.

I am a happy snapper, not a photographer, so my photos are au naturel rather than works of art.

The intention of this site is to provide:

useful practical information to those who are planning their walks, hikes, or travels
inspiration to those looking for new destination ideas.

It would be great to hear from you! Please leave any comments or questions related to a post in the Comment section of the post or contact me via the Contact page. I would be happy to try and assist with any queries you may have about planning your trip.

PS I use a hybrid of UK and US English.
