PICS: kykNET’s ‘Wanderlus’ couple just got hitched

By Renate Engelbrecht

Franschhoek couple, Hennie Bosman and Nicole Hellinger (now Bosman too), have a life many could only dream of.

They explore South Africa in the recently launched kykNET series, Wanderlus, which is packed with good wine, Afrikaans music, road trips, expeditions that lead to cooking competitions and more.

In essence, the programme really portrays the kind of life they live.

Hennie was born with fishing on his brain and at the age of three, he already knew how to catch oysters. His knowledge about the ocean is rather impressive – something he constantly surprises family, friends and viewers with.

Hennie is always keen to try out the most unusual, seemingly impossible things, which creates a certain sense of curiosity, and ultimately a feeling of wanderlust among many.

Nicole grew up between horses and vineyards in the Franschhoek Valley. At the age of 18, she was chosen for the Springbok equestrian team, and later she was also chosen as captain of the world cup team.

In addition to that, she is also a qualified chef, which makes Wanderlus a great platform for her to present Pinterest-inspired recipes from the seafood she and Hennie catch themselves.

For their first date, Hennie took Nicole fishing at a dam and it clearly did the trick as they just got hitched and make the perfect pair.
