Describe your ultimate night out?
I'm usually one to have a chilled dinner with friends these days, with Turn & Tender Illovo the go to place for me, but a night out at Wild Side or at Katy's Palace is good fun.
Where can we find the best cup of coffee?
What a question. There are so many great options these days in JHB, but my usual go to is Naked Coffee, love their coffee and their menu is great too.
What is your favourite local store?
Not a store, but love to go and try the wide range of restaurants, far too many to name them all but a few favourites are Milkbar, Forty Thieves, Get Bird and Delta Cafe.
Your favourite adrenaline packed activity is?
Not usually my thing, I mean you could say driving on Joburg streets is adrenaline packed. If you can check out any of the viewing points like Northcliff or Linksfield Ridge or at the Westcliff, the views are breathtaking especially around sunrise or sunset.
Where is a must visit place for a first-timer?
I would say take the red bus tour, there are so many hidden gems in this city and the Red Bus Tour is one of the perfect ways to get to see our diverse city. Ive done it a few times myself as a local and found so many places and sites.
Do you have any weekend traditions?
Usually try to start it off early at Old Eds Virgin Active, but otherwise getting to our local parks like James & Ethel Gray, Delta and Emmarentia is usually on the cards for me.
