Mila is the local voice behind Come To Cape Town - permanently curious about what’s happening around the city and constitutionally incapable of walking past somewhere interesting without going in. She writes about the Cape Town worth actually experiencing: brilliant little restaurants, ridiculous views, neighbourhood favourites, new openings, weekend escapes, beaches, markets, hotels, hidden corners and the occasional tourist attraction that genuinely deserves the hype. Her approach is simple: skip the generic travel-guide fluff, find the places locals are talking about, and tell you what’s actually worth your time. When she isn’t writing, she’s usually somewhere between the City Bowl and the Winelands, looking for the next great meal, view, swim, coffee or story. Based in Cape Town. Always exploring. Frequently hungry.
