What to Expect when shopping in the online Gypsy van
Firstly, a warm WELCOME and thank you for coming over! I’m so excited about this online (what’s for me somewhat cosmic) adventure where you can seek, discover, find & have delivered, lovely products and services that you are looking for.
This is obviously rather different for those who experienced the magic the mobile Herbal Bar lounge in ‘Gypsy Van’ days… from 2018-2021 – I strive to make it an experience as wonderful, smooth and secure as always!
What you need to know is that you can now buy many of the wonderful trinkets, herbal teas (tisane’s) and ‘tings’ from the comfort of your home.
Payments are done securely through Yoco and delivered to your door by the (hopefully good looking) Courier Guy. It couldn’t be easier!
Take your own adventure through the site. Make use of my shop to send gifts to your friends with personal hand written messages direct to their door or you can buy a gift voucher that will be emailed with a coupon code to your loved ones to choose something they love.
Shipping: Products are available for nationwide shipping in Mzantsi Afrika (ZA), you are welcome to contact me directly if you are outside the ‘borders’ or the AfriCan continent, or if you would like to organise your own courier, you can do so at checkout.
This is just the beginning and I have some awesome products in the pipeline so check in regularly for more trinkets and treasures!
I hope you enjoy shopping here as much as you have in real life! Thank you to all my loyal customers. Without you, the progression of the dream would not be coming to life. To the new friends… oh what an adventure awaits!
BIG LOVE, GRATITUDE & HAPPY SHOPPING 🙂

Life is a daring adventure
My Story
(The short version
of course!)
Once upon a time in a far, far away land in the year 2555 (not a typo), I embarked on an adventure that transpired in a completely unexpected way, an invitation (on a bus, by some lovely Germans of course) to go to a remote beach surrounded by limestone climbing mountains, certainly changed my life forever.
A young outdoors & reggae loving me, inspired by a remote beach bar and coffee shop, a year later started a Reggae Bar called Jungle Roots in Thailand.
What was different from others’ bars was that we felt from the heart and built from the soul … and as so also offered a selection of delicious and nutritious drinks made of flowers and leaves to give the bodies extra power to party! >br< Have you been to a bar where you’ve been offered or had the choice of Lemongrass hot/ice tea? >br<
Exactly… that’s why it was really well received…
So, ‘The Herbal Bar’ was born!
Among the wonderous folk who frequented the bar was a teacher who taught me to wrap hair, in fact there were many, many folk who taught me many things.
On arriving back in the motherland of South Africa years later, somewhat unexpectedly; therefore not knowing where to settle, I gathered my learnings and skills and brought ‘GypsyBusiness’ to life, initially in the bustling Maboneng precinct of the City of Gold. After a long search, an absolute miracle happened! One electrical storm Friday afternoon on the Highveld, I entered into a relationship with an older lady, RoseMary-Jane. We, went on adventures!
The two of us were a travelling circus of organised chaos; a 1978 VW Autovilla (RoseMary-Jane) and I, through necessity, frustration, knowledge, miracles and prayers, travelled along the way creating a trade route that would sustain us both. The GypsyBusiness mobile shop soon found home amongst beloved free range humans of the outdoor festival scene around the country, bringing the Herbal Bar, hairwraps, practical trinkets, Mama’s brownies on the Highveld, Mad Hatter’s Teapots and ‘Mane’tenance of dreadlocks to the villagers – all the while keeping an eye out for a place to set up
Jungle Roots South Africa.
Over 24,000km later, the journey brought us back to the City of Gold, where RoseMary-Jane & I parted ways. So for now, being a modern gypsy without a van, it seems only fitting that I fit in with you all here online, so while I find & create the new magic space, you can still access my collections of herbs, trinkets and services from the comfort of your home… and welcome to come to find me in mine… wherever I am I’ll be passionately keeping the Jungle Roots Herbal Bar & Lifestyle dream alive!
Happy People
