In a Q&A shared with The South African, Layla revealed her Top five essentials when travelling are – hand sanitizer, phone chargers, comfortable sneakers, chocolate & droëwors.

Q&A WITH LAYLA KOLBE

Do you and Cheslin have a favourite travel routine or ritual that you follow when visiting new destinations?

This is actually our first trip abroad together without the kids.

But when we do travel, we love experiencing and indulging in the culture and traditions of the town and its people, the cuisines and observing the local way of life. We also collect snow globes of all the places we travel to.

Do you enjoy planning the trip itinerary, or do you prefer to go with the flow and explore spontaneously?

A bit of both, we like to create a bucket list of must-see interests so we make sure we at least get to cover those and just enjoy our trip as it happens in the moment.

What memories or experiences are you hoping to take away from this trip to Türkiye

Just an overall fun time as a couple, getting to travel together alone for the first time and experience the culture and cuisines.

What’s the best travel advice you’ve ever received, and how has it helped you on your adventures?

Actually we are the travellers in the family. Our family didn’t get the privilege and opportunity to afford travel. So if we can give our own advice, it would be to check in with family wherever you are and say yes to as many new experiences as you can. Live in the moment and take a piece of something home as a souvenir. Ours are snow globes.
