Finding cool hotspots and hidden gems can be quite tedious, especially if you don’t know where to look or where to start. To help travellers and explorers find their way around Cape Town’s coolest destinations, TikTok content creator and traveller known as Octavia Overseas, believes that she has the solution.
The young explorer created her ultimate guide on things to do, see and eat in Cape Town and the Western Cape and took to TikTok to share her marvellous creation, which is a free Google Maps guide.
