Fun Facts about the girl behind the brand LorindasWorld

It is a new year, and I decided to give #LorindasWorld my full attention. But I am sure most of you wonder who’s the girl behind the brand. Well, I decided to share some fun facts about me.

1. I am an Aries Metal Monkey, for those of you that have no clue what it means, I suggest you start learning something about Western and Chinese Astrology, it is super exciting.
2. I was born and grew up in the North West Province of South Africa but matriculated in Gauteng.
3. I am the oldest of 3 girls. Both my younger sisters are married and have kids – so obviously I am the odd one out, but I don’t see that as a negative.
4. Instead of going to University, I decided to work straight after school and gain knowledge at the best University called Life.
5. I have a younger sister whom I’m super close with. We’ve experienced the pleasures of growing up together closely, had our fair share of fights and make-up sessions, had so many amazing adventures together, and sadly now we’re living countries apart.
6. I love being close to the water, but not the biggest fan of actually being in water. The sights, the sounds, the smells, and the whole experience is just so relaxing; however, I do not like that wrinkly feeling on my skin.
7. I love food — eating it and cooking it as well. I guess working in the hospitality industry and dating Mediterranean men before rubbed off on me. However, I found my biggest inspiration from my travels to Asia. I love Thai and Italian food the most.
8. My favorite TV shows are currently Suits and The Blacklist.
9. I started my business 4Elements Media in 2011 by combining all the elements I love doing and turning it into a business.
10. I have over 50 stamps in my passport and traveling is possibly one of my biggest pleasures in life.
11. I’m a pretty introverted and shy person, and social situations have always given me anxiety.
12. My favorite drink other than coffee and water must be Babylonstoren’s Babel wine.
13. I moved to Cape Town in 2015 but lived here before for 3 years. This city is truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in the world
14. I am super organized and like to be in control. However, I feel the happiest when I can wander around in foreign countries where no one knows me.
15. I am very pedantic about service, especially in the hospitality/travel industry.
16. I am looking forward to sharing more with you during 2017, thanks for all the love and support!
