Meet Tayla Clelland!

Full name

Tayla Ashley Clelland

Birthday

18 March 1992- Pisces!

Lucky number and why

4, 11, 18- Four leaf clover, my dad’s rugby jersey number and my birth date respectively.

Favourite colour(s) and why

Purple. It is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic.

What you wanted to be when you grew up

I have wanted to be a journalist since I was 12, but before that, all I knew was that I wanted to live in a tree house.

Thing’s you've done in your life that make you feel proud of yourself

Moving to a different country just 10 days after finishing school and my achievements in school.

Any regrets

I would say my actions in my matric year, but then I wouldn’t be in the UK living with my Tom. So I guess my answer would be: Yes, yes I do have regrets.

If you won a very very large amount of money, what would you do with it and why

I would buy a house, car, divide some money between my family, give some to worthy charities and I would go visit my top 20 places (maybe more) in the world. Oh, and that’s in no order!

Best childhood memory

Feeding rescued elephants, Mozambique, teaching myself how to ride a bike, living by the coast and being care-free!

Person who knows you better than anyone else

Hmmm… My sisters and Tom

Best romantic story that has happened to you

Tom made me a home-made chicken pie with my name and a heart on it  Was lovely! Oh, and he also took me to Rome for my 19th birthday???

Best experience this year so far

All the gigs I’ve been to: Snow Patrol, David Guetta, Coldplay, Marina and the Diamonds, Noah and the Whale, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Reading Festival (Foo Fighters, Kasabian, Florence and the Machine, The Vaccines, Paramore, Blood Red Shoes, The Maccabees, The Black Keys, Kaiser Chiefs, All Time Low, Bullet for my Valentine, Miike Snow) and Ed Sheeran. Seeing Lady Gaga in SA in a month!!

Where do you see yourself in 5 years’ time?

I see myself as a writer in a nice house with a hammock

Do you think you look more like your mom or dad, explain

Both. I have my dad’s chin, hands and feet. I have my mom’s big, blue eyes and blonde hair.

What can you not live without?

Cherry menthol gum and my music.

Best birthday you've had

Happiest memory you can recall
