Popular travel content creator Chris Joondeph, better known as Chris Authentic Traveling, loves Cape Town!

Joondeph has over a million followers on Instagram and over 200,000 subscribers on YouTube.

Fun fact: Joondeph married his girlfriend from Nigeria, Adenike Daramola - who also happened to be his tour guide - last weekend.

The newlyweds visited Cape Town, which Joondeph says he LOVES... even in winter.

From Bo-Kaap and trying Cape Malay cooking classes, to taking selfies with his wife on Table Mountain, Joondeph can't get enough of the Mother City.

"I've been to 167 countries and this is the most beautiful city in the world," Joondeph said in a video on his social media.

"It’s hard to think of many others that have this kind of natural beauty... it's right on the sea with mountains going in... it's even winter and it's not that cold. It's great in summer, it's great in winter, it's just such a stunning place. South Africa as a whole, there's just so much diversity... you've got to come here," Joondeph adds. 

"He's from America and he loves South Africa, I love it," Friedman says.
