It's Nice To Meet You
Welcome. I am Astrid, a Travel Counsellor based in Eldorado Park, South of Johannesburg.
I have more than 20 years of experience in the travel industry. In 2017, I started my own franchise business with Travel Counsellors. I have always loved to travel and experience new cultures. Therefore, becoming a Travel Counsellor was a natural progression. I’ve gained much experience and knowledge that will enable me to make your holiday one to remember.
I have travelled to the United Kingdom, the USA, UAE, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Mauritius, Brazil, Victoria Falls, Bali, Maldives, and throughout South Africa. Experiencing the Rio Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, the F1 Grand Prix in Singapore, and a milestone birthday in the Maldives have been my most memorable holidays.
What I love about being a Travel Counsellor is having the ability to create and assist you with travel arrangements that will leave you with lasting memories. I am ready to create your dream holiday. I have access to over 700,000 hotels, airfares, car rentals, tours, and packages, and find a holiday that suits you will be easy for me.
I hope to share my passion for travel with you and help you make some special travel memories.

F1 experience in Singapore
Experiencing the F1 Singapore Grand Prix cannot be put into words, but I’ll try to share this bucket list travel destination. The grand prix is in September, it’s the only day and night street circuit race on the entire F1 calendar. I spent 5 days in Singapore and stayed at a very well located hotel, which was just the perfect choice. Not only could I see the circuit from my room, but I could hear
