This is an incredibly epic video. At first you’re as curious as he is about the plastic bag and then the last few minutes is just a frenzy. I laughed out aloud when he fell to the ground but really didn’t expect that whizz around the living room like his tail was on fire.

Definitely worth the watch!

Make sure you get your pet kitties pet insurance just in case it ever comes across a plastic bag and hurts itself trying to run away from it. Check out our pet insurance page at 1300 insurance to get the best deals on pet insurance!

Travel Destination #8: South African Desert 

Count yourself lucky if you ever have the chance to go on the African Safari. There is something incredible about going back to nature. The thousand year old trees with the wind sifting beneath every hair on your body, travelling in a green camouflage jeep along the uneven road and just admiring the beauty of the land we live in.

Some may gawk at the idea of a back to nature holiday but the African Safari is not your usual off the beaten track trip. You get to see hippopotamus in their natural habitats and baby elephants fresh from his mother’s womb, giraffes, herds of zebras running across wild plains and lions proving to you why they’re named King of the Jungle.

As a kid, I visited the zoo quite regularly, loved the animals and watching them at feeding hour. But as a grown up, going to the zoo is like entirely new field trip on its own. I am seriously in awe of seeing real live animals, after being stuck day to day in four by four buildings; ironically there is a certain kind of freedom in watching these animals just do their thing.

But I would imagine the African Safari to be nothing like my local zoo. For one, the animals in the Safari are literally free and roam about as they like. We are almost capturing a candid snapshot of them and that is a beauty that no words can express. The safari is one of my dream adventure holidays and a summer travel plan that got unexpectedly cancelled recently. After months of daydreaming of the African plains, researching the best South African beaches… my days now feel hopeless as I squander my eyes back to the poster of the African Safari hanging on my wall.

If I were going to South Africa for my summer though, I would definitely buy myself some travel insurance. The health benefits is one thing, as I know a couple of days roaming the plains I will no longer be as fit as a cheetah due to my deficient travelling immune system. Cities in South Africa also don’t have the lowest crime rates so a protection over my belongings will save me putting the padlock on my purse.

I don’t know how much urge other people have for their need to travel. For me, it seems like I have this undying desire to constantly move. There’s a unique thrill to travelling, especially to places you’ve never been to before. The excitement of the plane trip up to the learning of a new language.

When you touch down on a new city, there’s a definite different feel to home. Different air breathing in, different people making you coffee and there’s even a different shade of green on the leaves. Everything feels different and this is what my travelling addiction thrives on; The flight of the comfort zone. 

Travelling means leaving everything you know behind and opening your mind to discover the unknown. There’s a saying that you don’t know what you don’t know, and I believe that it cannot be more true than in travelling. The taste of new foods will reset your tasting palette exposing you to flavours you never knew existed. The frivolous smell of a city, even if the smell is of a dark alley way filled with garbage. The buildings, the roads, the public transport… all ready for you to explore.

It doesn’t take long for me to get sick of home. The routine and the always knowing of what’s going to happen in the next hour. Travelling means you’re in an entirely new place, not knowing anything, not even the train timetables. I hate the fact that I know what time my train leaves the station every afternoon and which bus always comes at precisely 5 minutes later than its scheduled time.

Travelling frees you from all that. Frees you from the routine, from the knowing and throws you into places, people or things that you don’t know about. It’s about exploration and adventure. Sometimes it’s good to be home again, but for now, please help me get out of here!
