andrew cole

An offspring of the Mother City, Andrew was reared in the wilds of Canada where he learned to wrestle bears, cajole wolves and swim with loons. He returned to Cape Town in December 2006 to sweeten the city with his maple syrup-infused flare for communication, collaboration and ideas sharing.  His day job is a “behind-the-scenes PR guy” although he has been known to grab a microphone and step in front of an audience, if required.

schalk joubert

Solopreneur, undercover geek, web designer, WordPress slave and life enthusiast. When I’m not throwing myself off some mountain in search of the perfect glide or paddling after waves, I can be found savouring a glass of wine around a campsite. I love my work too much, which is why I find these escapes to an internet absent world essential.
