Where can we find the best cup of coffee?
Naked Coffee for sure! I was at the airport waiting to catch a flight, so I stood in the line to order a coffee and I overheard a woman say to her husband "Yes but is this coffee Naked good?" and this woman was 100% spot on!
What is your favourite local store?
Jacksons Real Food Market, from its restaurant to its grocery store, it's filled with health options and alternatives.
Favourite Spot for a date night dinner?
Marble. Intimate setting, menu with such variety and service is always on point.
Favourite adrenaline packed activity ?
Not so much of an adrenaline junkie, but sky dining is amazing! Eating a good couple of metres up from land is enough adrenaline for me; but the breathtaking views and experience make it so worth it.
Must visit place for first timers?
Sundowners at the Four Seasons Westcliff.
Do you have any Weekend Traditions?
Family parkruns are always a great idea! Usually followed by breakfast. But mostly I try to spend my weekend time together as a family, some great things we do are taking the kids to Acrobranch, for a hike by the Cradle of Mankind, Sterkfontein Caves exploring or just watching a movie at home and ordering in.
Where do you find the best croissants in Joburg?
The Argentinian Bakery in Linden.
