Moonchild Sanelly on sex toys, snails and spliffs in foreign lands

There’s so much beauty in Mpumalanga. There are so many rivers. I really love it. And when I want to stay closer to Joburg and still get the rock pool situation, I just go to Magaliesberg. There are so many activities as well that people can do — like hiking and swimming in rock pools. Just make sure the monkeys don’t come in by closing your window.

If I was showing a tourist around my hometown, Gqeberha, the first place [I would take them] would be the beach. The second place Kariega. Third place Boardwalk Casino. 

My favourite city is London. Wake up, roll a joint, smoke, take a shower, probably go to BBC Radio. Go to Hackney to get some lobster from the food trucks — that lobster is everything. Go back, play music, roll a joint and then go out to Soho House and get into the pool. It’s heated so it’s great. Then chill there. I love their salmon and this chilli cocktail, it’s one of their special ones.

Vienne in France was my worst travel experience. It was actually not the country, it was the driver picking us up. He just came in shouting in French and dropping our bags and literally all our wheels got broken. He just left the bags downstairs. Then taking five flights of stairs, because those buildings are small but tall. Dragging all these broken suitcases was the worst welcome. 

When it comes to adventurous eating overseas, I did have snails. Not the cooked-in-sauce ones. You know when they give breads in restaurants and they give you spreads while you start to order? It was that. It was in France and we had that as tasters. They were just a little bit gross because I chose to not register that they were snails. I’m really scared of snails in real life.

For a great night out, Melbourne, Australia, is ridiculous. It’s just party vibes and it’s beautiful. There are many other ones but Melbourne is a standout because it’s just grooving.
