I’m a personal Travel Counsellor based in Edenvale, but my happy clients come from all corners of the globe. With a travel career that began in 1995, I’ve spent the last 29 years turning dream holidays into reality. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of visiting awe-inspiring destinations like Thailand, Morocco, Ireland, Malaysia, Borneo, Mauritius, and Zanzibar. I’ve also wandered through some of the world’s most iconic cities, including London, Amsterdam, Venice, Paris, Munich, Edinburgh, Dublin, and Kuala Lumpur. My adventures closer to home have deepened my appreciation for the beauty and diversity of South Africa.
Over the years, I’ve earned international travel qualifications—some with distinctions—and gained invaluable experience working with some of South Africa’s most respected travel companies. This knowledge and expertise allow me to create holidays tailored precisely to your needs, whether it’s a honeymoon, anniversary, family adventure, or a private escape.
Your Perfect Holiday, Tailored Just for You!
Service is at the heart of everything I do. I combine my industry expertise with cutting-edge technology, granting me access to over 700,000 hotels worldwide, leading airlines, car rentals, and exclusive events. Whether it’s a magical theatre night in London or tickets to the Monaco Formula One Grand Prix, I can make it happen.
As a parent, I understand both the excitement and challenges of traveling with children. This personal insight helps me craft stress-free family holidays, ensuring every member of your group has a memorable experience.
Why Choose Me? As a Travel Counsellor, I’m not confined by traditional office hours. I’m here to help when it’s convenient for you—whether that’s during your coffee break or in the evening after a busy day.
When you choose me as your personal Travel Counsellor, you’re not just booking a holiday; you’re investing in exceptional service and unbeatable value. Let me take care of every detail, so all you need to do is relax and enjoy your journey.

Debby was an absolute God-send. She found us flights on the date that we wanted when we thought there were none. Debby arranged everything from getting 5 seats together, to our check-in, our stop over stay and helped with last minute extra baggage booking. Debby, you were amazing, and stayed calm when things seemed so hectic for us. You reassured me and put things in place to make flying with my family a breeze. And you kept checking in with me to make sure that we were okay. Thank you Debby. You went above and beyond what anyone should do, and we give you a score of 1000, not just 10!

Having just printed out our boarding passes, I wanted to thank you most sincerely for going the extra miles for us in arranging this trip. You have excelled yourself and can be very proud of the service you have afforded us. It started with you managing to use our long standing avios points to upgrade our tickets, then all the visa challenges, on to the train tickets and museum entries, not to mention sitting on a Saturday evening sorting out complicated boarding passes – you are a STAR and we appreciate you so much.

Dear Debbie, I cannot imagine having done this journey without you. Emigration for anyone is a major upheaval, and doing it during COVID is just more than one can personally handle, except for you. Your expertise in managing the travel arrangements for our emigration was absolutely invaluable. Anytime covid or airlines created some kind of change, and resultant stress, you calmly navigated the process and adjusted our travel arrangements to still enable us to enter managed isolation in the correct time frame, had you not made this happen, we would have been stranded indefinitely due to all the covid ever-changing legislation with migration ministry. I cannot recommend your services enough and will continue to advise anyone who is considering emigration to make sure they have you in their toolbox to ensure they are safely guided with all their travel arrangements. (So important to have someone who is an expert in their industry assisting in mitigating all the associated risks of travelling during covid). I cannot thank you enough. Kind regards, Von Schele
