She says having such a variety of cultures is spectacular as is the way of life in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her favourite place is visiting God&#8217;s Window in the Mpumalanga because it is so serene and that &#8220;until everyone goes there they will never understand how appropriate its name is&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having travelled to Washington, New York State and seen the whole of the East Coast, New York is definitely one of her favourite places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She gets irritated when asked the same question too many times as well as being disturbed when she is busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People who allow themselves to act stupid occasionally while adding &#8216;spice&#8217; to stories make her laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked what she would take into the Big Brother Africa house, she highlights her Iyanla Vanzant book.
