About the experience, Belindé says: "It was amazing. It was three weeks full of adventures, shoots and lifelong friendships."

Her favourite part of Venezuela is "the people. "It reminded me a lot of home as the people are always happy and so supportive," says the public relations graduate.
She thanks all her fans and supporters for the continued backing, saying: "I knew I wasn't alone on that stage but, instead had the whole of South Africa with me."
