About us

Don Bray

 

I grew up in the old Transvaal and in my early teens the Bray's moved off to Port Alfred "heart of the sunshine coast". I guess having parents that moved around a lot in my childhood made for a restless spirit. Once I was finished with Adelaide Academy, I undertook an apprentice with Benoni City Council. With the army and my apprentice behind me I worked hard at furthering my career, this has driven me to my current job as a contracts manager for one of the most successful Building Services companies in the UK. Never one for been all work and no play I have seen some of the great bands and awesome countries.

After running around the world foot loose and fancy free who would have thought love would knock me off my feet in BAD PLAAS (Bath Farm for those who don't speak Afrikaans), I like to think the two of us make a smart couple and love the adventuress side of life, what better than to start the greatest adventure of our life’s than a trip through Europe and Africa.

I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1980. I studied Marketing Management at RAU university and worked for a short while in advertising. I realised that marketing is not my calling in life and left for the UK in 2003. I returned to South Africa in 2004 to complete my post-grad in teaching. I taught in South Africa for 3 years and returned to the UK in 2008 after meeting Don.
I traveled to many parts of Southern Africa as a student but only developed a passion for Africa after traveling to Zanzibar in 2002. The bug had properly bitten and it has been my passion since then to travel through Africa. This trip is my dream come true.
