Meet Rung Button from Inspirations Travel and Tours PTY LTD and grab her amazing BEANS CURRY DURBAN STYLE

Tonight I did my first ever live interview with the amazing Rung Button from Inspirations Travel and Tours based in South African.

Who is Rung Button?

Rung was one of my students back in South Africa and we have been foodie friends ever since, we were even discussing the best foodie tour of South Africa before this all happened.

Tonight we had a casual catch up to disucss keeping tourism and travel alive.  This all came about when I realised how much I missed planning my next foodie trip so I decided to just get wishing and get my bucket list for travel planned and arranged upfront.  I’m so excited.

As you know I am a passionate foodie and chef with a penchant for travel.  I thought it would be wonderful to connect with people from around the world AND to make it relevant to my little world, grab a recipe from everyone I interview.

Rung was an absolute wealth of amazing information about South Africa, it’s hot spots, best ever spots and things you HAVE to do once you get over there.
