Les saveurs de la vie is a blog about lifestyle, travel, food, photography and other musings. We are Nikki and Geoff, married since 1995 and based in Johannesburg, South Africa 🇿🇦.

When we are not travelling the world, we run our own consulting and coaching business. Having spent far too many years in the corporate world, we are relishing having more time for living our lives, rather than making a living. Our dogs are particularly pleased that we have more time for them. The cats still don’t care.

We hope you enjoy dropping in to read our tales of adventure, of incredible destinations, delicious food and the many other rich flavours that life has to offer. ⛵️
