Around the world
and we spend 24 hours a day together… usually I would want to kill someone after that. But we gel well and that comes out on the show weekly and on my Instagram stories.
But my true ideal travel companion is me, myself and I. I usually travel alone and I have learnt many things about myself after travelling with three people for six months. I’m an extroverted introvert and my phone is my best friend. Beach bum, culture vulture or adrenalin junkie?
I hate the beach, too much sand and sun and I don’t need a tan!
I’m a culture vulture mixed with an adrenaline junkie... I will try almost anything when I travel.
On Wingin’ It I go from flying in on a fighter jet at 850 kilometres per hour at 6.2 Gs and then I spend an afternoon with Romanian gypsies to learn about how they live… Balance is key. Greatest travel luxury?
Wi-fi! Wi-fi owns me these days… I would have to say my greatest travel luxury is being able to afford to do whatever I want to do overseas. Holiday reading?
My Twitter timeline is a page turner. Where has seduced you?
Cuba seduced me in ways I can’t even tell you. I met her and I got down on one knee and I asked her to marry me. It was love at first sight.
I suggest that everyone gets to Cuba fast, before the Americans mess it up. They let the Americans in and I am sure many things will change fast. Cuba looks like a 1959 movie; literally everything looks like the 1950s.
My mind was blown. I will return soon. Worst travel experience?
There is no such thing as a worst travel experience. A true traveller will take the best out of any experience. The worst travel experience is not travelling at all. Best hotels?
I hate hotels, I’m more of an Airbnb or backpackers type of guy. The thing I love about backpacking is that it forces you to meet and chat to people from all over the world.
I usually arrive in a city with no plan and I meet people and I make up my mind from there.
If I had to pick – Hilton Hotel, Seoul. Favourite walk, swim, ride or drive?
I wish I could travel with my motorbike all over the world; that’s what you call freedom! One of my bucket-list trips is to travel from North to South Vietnam on a motorbike.
For the record, this black brother can swim! (Just saying). Best meal abroad? Thai food is tops. I once spent three weeks in Thailand and every meal was Thai. I used to even add a fourth meal to my day. Favourite city?
Asking me for my favourite city is like asking Zuma for his favourite wife or corruption charge.
But that’s an easy one for me, New York City without a doubt. I don’t like that place, I am in love with it. But it’s second to my Cape Town, the more I travel the more I see that Cape Town is a 12 out of 10. Where to next? Nepal, Seoul, New York, LA.
