My Destination Cape Town is part of the My Destination network. A global network of sites created in 2006 by two young entrepreneurs, James Street & Neil Waller. My Destination is focused on providing websites that offer unrivalled levels of local information, actually written by locals. Each site is run by a team on the ground in each destination who have their fingers on the pulse and are providing real time information. The websites combine accurate information on the local area and businesses with the added usability of an online booking engine, offering travellers a one-stop shop where they can research and book their holiday on a single website.

The websites are fresh and simple in design, with a firm focus on quality and quantity of content. Reviews are always written first-hand and every effort is taken to obtain the best images and information available in order to present a true representation of the services on offer. User-generated content and feedback is also built into the website, building upon content quantity and accuracy; major features of the service we provide.

My Destination continues to go from strength to strength and is always looking for new and exciting destinations to add to the network,so if you would like to join our team and be part of our growing network then click on our logo below to find out more about our business.

Heading up My Destination Cape Town - Andrew Thompson

After growing up in Johannesburg Andrew headed south to study at the University of Cape Town where he did a degree in media, English, politics, and went on to complete an honours degree in Media Theory and Practice. During his final year Andrew dabbled in journalism, and worked freelance for a variety of local websites and magazines, in between which he travelled extensively around u, and worked for 3 months in West Virginia, in the United States. After leaving university he took on freelancing full-time, and specialised in feature, entertainment and travel journalism. The travel bug bit once again in late 2008, and Andrew saw himself return to the States for a 7 month working holiday, which started in Vail, Colorado, and took him to 17 cities throughout the country. He eventually returned to South Africa, and after a brief stint in Joburg made the inevitable pilgrimage back to the Mother City. When the opportunity to run MyDestination.com/CapeTown popped up, it was a no-brainer, combining his passions for travel, journalism, technology and, of course Cape Town, into a nice little package.
