My Kind of Holiday

Where did you spend your last holiday?

In the 20th most violent city in the world and the most violent in Africa — Cape Town.

What was the best thing you did while there?

Stayed alive. Ate out a lot, meeting new people.

Your favourite city abroad and why?

Edinburgh, Scotland. I was there for the Fringe Festival. The whole city is filled with artists. It was electric and beautiful.

What must a first-time visitor see there?

The castle. We only know castles from Shrek and beer bottles. Seeing one in real life is quite something.

What should they not bother with?

Finding black people. It’s Scotland.

What was your best holiday?

Montreux, Switzerland. It wasn’t a holiday, but it felt like it.

Which is the worst hotel you have ever stayed in?

I have never had a bad hotel experience. I love my sleep too much.

Who would be your fantasy holiday companion and why?

Me, myself and I: together we are curious, adventurous and naughty.

Your favourite restaurant?

My mom’s kitchen. Nothing beats mommy’s food.

Embarrassing travel moments?

Looking for a karaoke bar in South Korea, we found out they have karaoke rooms, not bars. And you go in alone.

Your best travel advice?

Do it. Anywhere. Any chance you get.
