by lockdown (for now), he revives his wanderlust by sharing his adventures with us.

resh, unapologetic
and inclusive, he’s
the guy who brings
his honest brand
of humour to your
airwaves between 1pm
and 4pm weekdays. As
a presenter on KZN’s
No.1 Hit Music Station,
East Coast Radio, Vic Naidoo is living
his dream. The only thing that’s
missing right now though is the
freedom to travel – something he is
incredibly passionate about and finds
solace in.
“I absolutely love it! I learn so much
about me whenever I travel and I
come back home more connected
to myself.”
If it wasn’t for the pandemic, Vic
would’ve been prepping and
packing for a trip to Greece or Spain
this year. They are at the top of his
bucket list, followed closely by Bali,
New York and India, which is another
mission he’s got lined up.
“I’ve been lucky enough to have
travelled to many places around
the world, with London, the South
of France and Monaco (because I’m
obsessed with Princess Charlene)
being my favourites so far.
The biggest cultural shock I
experienced while travelling was
how well public transport works in
Europe! We could learn a lot. I also
often like to travel overseas around
my birthday – to avoid birthday calls
LOL! And since my mom and I share
the same birthday, I am dying to treat
her to a trip to India for our birthday.”
