Family energy at home
While many might find it difficult to maintain a career and responsibilities at home, Ifrika manages her time as artiste and a mother easily. According to Queen Ifrica who is the mother of two, a 14-year-old son, Imeru, and a six-year-old daughter, Amakai, “it’s easy to balance both, because on holidays I get to keep them. It’s always a family energy, aside from the music, we have a lot of activities.
One of the best things with having a penpal from abroad is that you can learn a new language. Brevweb, Interpals Penpals, eTandem and United Friendship are good sites for finding a penpal in another country.  Â
I remember my last Greek penpal learned me how to say:
Me leme = My name is
No, I am not going to write about Mr & Mrs Smith with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The online hotel directory Mr & Mrs Smith actually chose the name long before the movie. Apparently because they are all about romantic getaways with your other half. Their directory includes the best hand-picked boutique and luxury hotels in the world and the hotel search on their website makes it easy to find the ultimate option. Whether your ideal destination is Spain, South Africa, Sweden or Sydney you can rely on Mr & Mrs Smith.

If I hadn’t begun watching Ally McBeal when I was 13-years-old, I would probably not be so keen to visit Boston. Too bad they ended the show because it’s one of the best feel-good TV-series ever. The O.C. and Summerland, shot in LA, at Hermosa Beach and in Malibu, make me want to travel to California. As does Entourage which I really like, especially Jeremy Piven’s character.
Travelling through films is an amazing way to experience a place without even needing to leave the comfort of your own home. It is definitely not a substitute for travelling, but perfect to get inspiration, ideas and insights. I remember when I saw Gorillas in the Mist when I was about 11-years-old and how fascinated I became by Dian Fossey, the scientists who spent almost two decades of studying the mountain gorillas in Africa’s rainforests. Since then I have always wanted to go mountain gorilla tracking in the rainforests of Uganda or Rwanda.
