I've organised and accompanied some large school sports groups, and arranged some high school tours.

Welcome! I was born into a family who loves travelling and was fortunate to have experienced our beautiful country’s icons and hidden gems. One of my first “international travel” memories was of watching my uncle’s slide show of their adventurous trip to South America. After school I became an au-pair and lived for 10 months in Germany. It was here that my love for travel was born and I fell in love with Europe. I then enrolled at the University of Pretoria and obtained a B.Com degree in Tourism Management. I recently completed a Diploma in Sales Management from Varsity College as well as a Programme in Advanced Marketing Management from UNISA Centre for Business Management. My career started in 2000: I started at a tour operator specialising in Spain and Portugal. I then moved on to a retail travel agency where I gained a lot of extensive experience. I later joined an international tour operator, selling and promoting escorted tours to Europe, the Mediterranean and the Americas. I gained in-depth knowledge of various countries and visited many destinations. Some of my travel memories include: enjoying the beaches of the Algarve, shopping in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, experiencing Eastern European cultures, cruising in the Greek Isles, driving in the Black Forest and taking a rail journey up the Swiss Mountain peaks, enjoying Austrian music and entertainment and sampling French cuisine, marvelling at the ancient wonders in Egypt and enjoying la Dolce Vita in Italy! Experiencing the night-life in London and Amsterdam and climbing Sydney Harbour Bridge. My 10 years experience in the industry and my passion for what I do motivated me to start my own travel business. As a Travel Counsellor I can offer the best prices and highest service levels thanks to the newest technology and great support from a dynamic global company, plus I am available at a time that suits you. As I enjoy seamless, perfectly planned holidays when I travel - I will always aim to provide this to my clients with whom I build long-term relationships. Extensive planning and careful consideration of various options - like travel routings, airlines, hotels, tours and transportation, all collaborate to create the perfect dream holiday. Holidays are dreams waiting to be realised. So carpe diem - Seize the day! Make that travel enquiry and allow me to make your dream come true!

Greetings from the Helderberg! My name is Chantal and I'm a born and bred KZN girl. I relocated to the beautiful mountainous region of Somerset West in 2020. Since then, I have been blessed to build a new client base in the area as well as continue assisting my existing clients in making their holiday dreams a reality. I have worked in travel for the past 10 years, starting as a Travel Consultant working at a large retail agency in Hillcrest and most recently as a Sports Travel Consultant at a large wholesaler. I have loved working in leisure travel where I have experienced some of the most unique and beautiful destinations during my career. My favourite experience to date has been trekking with the gorillas in Uganda in 2017. Being in the company of those gentle giants was an unrivalled experience and a memory I will always cherish! I've been fortunate to travel to Mauritius, Turkey, Jordan, Thailand, Maldives, Russia and Japan. Experiencing a destination first-hand is such a vital part of what I do so that I can provide the best recommendations and suggestions for my clients. Prior to working in travel, I lived and worked in New York, Dubai, Shanghai and Hong Kong. I thrived on living in the big city and gained a broader perspective on life in the different parts of the world where I lived. I’m looking forward to working with you on your travel requirements and tailor-making your dream holiday. I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi My name is Helga Wenning and I am a proud Travel Counsellor. Although I am based in Vryheid Kwazulu Natal, I can provide excellent and personalised travel services to all clients in any part of the world. I have moved from Gauteng nine years ago to a small German farming community in Northern Natal. Adjusting to the new environment was easy, as the community welcomed and made me part of the family immediately. I started in the travel industry in 1996 and since that time both the travel and technology has evolved, but one thing that has remained constant: The uniqueness of people and their travel. With each booking and travel experience I grow and learn with my travellers, building a strong base of knowledge as time goes by. I myself have travelled quite a bit and in some instances, I have visited the same destination twice. Each experience is different each time. All destinations hold its own adventures, excitement and experience and whatever your dream may be, it will be my pleasure to help create your experience and to turn it into reality. Hope to hear from you and until then, happy and safe travelling!

Hi everyone, I am Mercia Gerber a personal Travel Counsellor. Thank you for visiting my web page!I recall my first international destination: Mauritius! At the time I was a junior travel consultant in Bloem and I was amazed at the clear blue water, exotic foods and vibrant atmosphere. This experience made me realise that there is so much to explore all around us, whether it’s a weekend retreat to Clarens or a once-in-lifetime cruise to explore the Caribbean coast that Hemingway wrote about.One of the benefits of living in the Central Region is that destinations are all around you to explore and we all need a breakaway. At the end of a working year I sit down with my family to count our favourite memories of the past year and these are my most cherished possessions!I’ve spent my whole professional career of 17 years in the travel industry, working as junior, intermediate and later as a senior international consultant for national travel management companies. Working with people, I treasure the fantastic holiday stories and photos that they return with! It’s such a joy to briefly share this highlight with them, and to play a part, researching the destinations to help make their dream holiday a reality.My training and qualifications include: BA (Communications) (UFS), Galileo, Focal Point, Ticket & Fares, Cruises International and I have lectured at the University of the Free State in Travel and Tourism. I’d like to avail my knowledge and expertise to arrange your travel requirements.As a Travel Counsellor in Bloemfontein I can now liaise with you at a time that suits your schedule and I am not bound by traditional office hours. Please afford me the opportunity to update you on new holiday offers that might interest you and make your wish come true. Let’s find those holiday deals that make your memory chest and photo albums grow, together!Friendly regards,Mercia

Dear TravelerMy name is Jeanne Thirion, a Travel Counsellor based in Kimberley, South Africa. I have been in travel for over 20 years now, and am happy to report, after the scare the pandemic gave us, that travel is back in full swing and that we are looking forward to the future again.I worked as an Au Pair in Germany after school and that is where the travel bug bit. On returning home I studied Travel and Tourism and joined a well know Travel Management Company for over 10 years. It is however, since joining Travel Counsellors in June 2010, that I have discovered the joy of building long lasting personal relationships with my clients and in so doing, being able to offer them superior service and tailor made advice. They love the fact that I am always just a phone call away, a trusted friend who can advise and get them out of a tight fix when the need arises. With Travel Counsellors award winning technology and global contracts, I also have access to a multitude of special rates and services. From flights, accommodation, car rental and tours, cruises, visas, travel insurance and activities, I am your one stop shop.I achieved the Travel Counsellors Award for 'Best Business Increase' for two years running and was honored to take home the award for Best South African Travel Counsellor in 2016. I have travelled to a number of European countries, namely Germany, The Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Hungary, Austria and Italy as well as to our Global Conference in Manchester. I have also visited Mauritius, Zanzibar, Madagascar and Egypt. Each destination holds a special memory.I know that travelling can be stressful and one often doesn’t know where to begin, so please, leave the details in my hands. I’ll take away the worry and leave you with only the excitement of the coming trip and the wonderful memories thereafter. I look forward to assisting you. Yours in travel, Jeanne

Hi, I'm Robyn Pretorius, a Travel Counsellor based in Table View. I have clients all over South Africa, as well as in the States, UK, Europe, Australia and Asia. I'm married to my best friend and we have a 7-year-old daughter who keeps us on our toes with her whit and escapades.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor and running my own travel franchise, I worked for another travel consortium for 16 years. My first taste of travel was on a Contiki tour when I finished school and I got my first taste of the UK and Europe. I visited the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, France, Austria, Italy and Lichtenstein. My eyes were opened! I returned home to study, and as soon as I was done, I got a job in Dubai and lived there for 3 years, experiencing as much of the Middle East as I could, including UAE, Iran and Saudi. On returning to South Africa, I carried on my travel journey by becoming a travel agent. This opened the door to many more opportunities to travel, so I've since also experienced Mauritius, Seychelles and Thailand.One of my favourite destinations has to be Switzerland – with her wide open spaces, the mountains and lakes, the green and then the white of the snowcapped mountains... or maybe Seychelles with its protected beauty and stunning beaches... or maybe Thailand with its bustling city and beautiful temples... then again, maybe Dubai with its cosmopolitan city, but stark deserts. I can't decide!Being a Travel Counsellor has opened so many doors. I can look after my clients no matter where they are in the world. We're all on a journey of discovery, I can assist you with yours while I'm still learning the map to mine :)I can't wait to assist you with your holidays, getaways and dreams!

Nice to meet you.My name is Louret van Jaarsveld and I'm a Travel Counsellor based in Krugersdorp but I can offer my professional travel services from anywhere any time of the day. I grew up in the East Rand. Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 2018, I studied Tourism & Marketing and graduated in 2001 at the Graduate Academy of South Africa. My journey in travel started in 2002 where I started as a Travel Consultant. I have 23 years of experience in the Travel Industry and have worked at 5 different agencies over the years. What a wonderful journey this has been, working in these different environments, learning new things and meeting new people and clients daily. In 2005 I was privileged to be chosen as the consultant in South Africa to take part in an International Exchange program with Australia where I worked in one of their agencies for 2 weeks and then travelled the country afterwards. My passion for travel just grew and I just wanted to learn more and travel the world.I have travelled to the following countries: Australia, United Kingdom, Dubai, Mauritius (I've been there 5 times and this is my favourite country and I would go back any day), India, Seychelles, Singapore, Thailand, Mozambique & Swaziland. I still have a few more destinations on my bucket list, but my biggest dream is to travel to Vietnam & Cambodia, to see the country on a bicycle, and I would love to do this with my husband.Being a Travel Counsellor has been one of the best decisions I have made. I have more time to plan and invest in every client's dream holiday and to offer more attention to detail to their holiday. With Travel Counsellors I have the support from my head office and I'm available to my customers 24 hours a day!I hope to hear from you soon! Let's start planning that dream holiday so that you can travel to where your HEART takes you!

Hello and Welcome My name is Lynne and I am a Travel Counsellor based in East London. I have lived in Cape Town and Elliot in the Eastern Cape, and I have a daughter in the USA and a brother in New Zealand. I know all about being far from family and friends, so wherever you are in the world I can help you re-unite.I have over 20 years experience working for Travel Management companies and I have been privileged to travel to over 30 different countries around the world. Some of these destinations include the USA, New Zealand, UK and Ireland, Europe, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa and Far East countries as well as various Indian Ocean Islands. Luckily I have “wings on my back” and my “seatbelt” has not yet been fastened as I still have so many bucket list places I would like to visit, with Croatia and Scandinavia being top of the list.I have experienced all forms of travel from air, rail, cruising (ocean and river), coach tours and self-drive to walking city tours. Some of my most memorable moments have been a Hot Air Balloon ride Pamukkale, Turkey, watching turtles hatch on the beach on Nosy Iranja, Madagascar, getting up close and personal at the majestic Niagara Falls, USA to rolling down a hill in a Zorb in Rotarua, New Zealand.Travel is my passion and as I love to make dreams come true, being a Travel Counsellor allows me to focus on you and to make it happen.

Welcome to my web page.I'm Debby, a Travel Counsellor working from my home in a suburb of Midrand. Working from home means that I have the freedom to service clients wherever you may be in the world.Travel was my passion even before I climbed on an airplane for the first time, a shy 21-year old, with backpack and baggage in tow. Traveling from Luxembourg to Greece, to Holland and then Israel, by train, plane and ferry was an amazing experience, and a life-lesson that I will never forget.Much of my earlier travel was solo travel. I experienced 1 January 2000 in Ireland, flew to Paris for a weekend to celebrate my 40th, back to Paris a couple of years later to attend a creative workshop and in December 2018 travelled to and through parts of the Czech Republic visiting family with my husband. I was fortunate enough to travel to France twice in 2022, and to visit Milan for the first time. It might just slowly be trumping Paris as my favourite European city. Later this year I'll be on a river cruise through Germany and the Netherlands and spending Christmas in Amsterdam - something that I last did (and loved) in 1992! I love that my travel experiences may inspire you and help make your travels a little bit more special with insider tips.Being a Travel Counsellor means that I am available to you outside of working hours and this allows me the flexibility of meeting with you in person, by phone, skype or email, at a time convenient to you. It also means that I have access to over 1,900+ Travel Counsellors around the world who have years of experience and knowledge that they share freely, ensuring that your travel experience is the best that it can be.It would be my pleasure to assist you with your enquiry, no matter how big or small, be it for local or overseas travel, and I look forward to hearing from you.

I have been in the industry for the past 17 years and live in Pretoria.I am an independent travel consultant who can book anything, from your domestic flight to your Black Friday shopping trip in New York, to even a local tour in Gauteng.My journey in travel started when I was doing domestic bookings as part of my duties whilst working as a project co-ordinator. I realised that I really enjoyed making travel arrangements and that is when the spark ignited and it was time for a career change. I then started working as a retail travel agent. When I first started, I had no sales experience and I have never previously worked in the travel industry. Now I have built up a wealth of travel knowledge and I am running my own travel business as a Travel Counsellor franchisee.Luckily, all I needed was a willingness to learn and a passion for travel.My second love is cooking and maybe one day I will do a professional cooking course as well. For now travel is my passion and my first priority and I have so much experience and I love it, travel is in my blood.I have also been privileged enough to have travelled to London, Zanzibar, Mauritius, New York, Las Vegas, Turkey, Greece, Dubai, Thailand, Mozambique, Switzerland, Ireland and Scotland.My ultimate goal is to provide exceptional service whilst making your travel dreams a reality.When you book with me, it will be personal and only my best will be good enough.I hope to hear from you soon

Welcome to my personal leisure website. I'm an independent Travel Counsellor in Pretoria. I studied BCom Hotel and Tourism Management and subsequently entered the exciting world of travel in 1997. During my initial years in travel I serviced mainly corporate travellers, this entailed always being under pressure to offer top service with a smile and to find the most competitive prices and to provide fast and accurate information. I left the travel industry after seven years to pursue another passion of mine, gastronomy. I soon realised that travel is in my blood and returned to the industry two years later. I then worked for the next three years in a busy retail travel agency with my focus in the leisure travel market and gained valuable first-hand knowledge on a vast spectrum of holiday destinations. During my twenty year travel career I experienced many travel opportunities to the UK, Europe, the Mediterranean as well as many fascinating countries like Morocco, Egypt, Thailand, Bali, Singapore and island destinations such as Mauritius and Seychelles, to name just a few. I have also travelled extensively through our beautiful country South Africa. Travel is about making dreams come true. This can only be achieved by offering exceptional service and exceeding expectations. I am now part of the Best Travel Company in the World, Travel Counsellors. They offer complete back-up support from their head offices in Cape Town, combined with support from their UK Head Office, as well the advice & assistance from over 1700 Travel Counsellors represented in South Africa, Australia, Belgium, Netherlands, the UK, Ireland and Dubai. I have access to the most competitive airfares, hotel rates and technology. From my home environment I am available to offer you a professional travel service 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, or alternatively at a location that suits you best, be it in the comfort of your home, at the office, etc. I offer a comprehensive professional one-stop service, which entails offering the best airfares, deals and advice in arranging transfers, hotel accommodation, car rental, visas, foreign exchange, etc.If you do not have any immediate travel requirements, feel free to send me an e-mail, to receive interesting travel information and specials. Remember travel is always the pursuing of a personal dream based on reliable information and good advance planning! I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi and a warm welcome to the future of your travels!My name is Kerith, and I am looking forward to working with you to create incredible travel memories. I am proudly South African and work fom my home in leafy Bryanston - although with the technology at my fingertips, I am able to assist you no matter where in the world you may be based.I am a certified travel addict, and after 18 years in the corporate events and incentives industry, I decided to take the leap to launch my own travel business in 2019. I take great pride in exceeding the expectations of my clients, and love having the ability to help people travel the world. If you're wondering how booking with an agent could be better than online - let's set up a call! There are so many benefits to working through a professional - not least of which is taking the stress off you and enjoying a care-free holiday where everything has been thought of for you.With parents who taught me the joys of travel from before I could walk, it's no surprise that I love what I do so much. I knew for a fact that I wanted to work in travel on the second day of a Contiki tour in 2006 - I came home, cancelled the balance of my Law Degree (after completing my Honours in Biochemistry of all things!) and went back to Europe where I spent four years working as a Tour Manager. Learning the history and culture of the continent started my passion for the travel industry - I thrive on nerdy energy and opening the eyes of my clients to the wonders of the world. Although it took family and friends by surprise when I announced that I was launching my own travel business back in 2019, I have never looked back and wouldn't change it! Travel for me was a life choice - it's not just a job to me.I specialize in group travel, complex bespoke itineraries, safari and luxury trips, although I am able to assist you with anything from a local roadtrip to a simple flight. Along with my team of similarly passionate Travel Counsellors, we are able to help you with whatever you may require. I believe that luxury in travel means that everything is taken care of for you, and it doesn't mean that you necessarily have to spend a fortune.My personal travel has taken me to 51 countries so far, but my special passion is Europe - France and the Balkan region in particular. I love finding insider tips and secret spots from around the world and sharing these with clients to enhance their experience!My travel philosophy is that of the Asian proverb, "It is better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times." Let me help you see the world!Click below to WhatsApp me - and let's talk TRAVEL! https://bit.ly/3i56Aaj

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller I fell in love with travel the moment I saw a photo of my parents on a gondola in Venice. I was 8 years old. In that moment I made a career choice. For the past 15 years Ive been fortunate enough to work in the travel industry, and now, with enough experience and the wonderful support of Travel Counsellors worldwide I'm able to run my own travel business. I'm not only passionate about travel but also very dedicated and committed to my clients. My clients become my friends and I aim to ensure that each one of my friends receives the best possible service and an extensive choice of products at the best possible prices. I understand that travelling can be very stressful due to events and circumstances outside of human control. I undertake to assist you with the most convenient and least expensive alternatives. I will keep you informed and will be available to you during your journey, should you require emergency assistance. Your time is money and my years of experience will enable me to cut the time you will spend searching and investigating your options on the internet. I'll process your request as swiftly as possible, using state of the art search and booking tools. As a Travel Counsellor I have access to fares and deals that are better value and not available on the internet. I can tailor-make a package to match exactly what you're looking for. My travels have taken me to the Serengeti, Zanzibar, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Egypt, Israel, Turkey, France, Austria, Italy, Germany, Croatia, China and Thailand. My love of seeing and understanding things makes me an avid reader; I'll be able to provide you with the most up to date tourism information for each destination you wish to visit. I can offer you a truly concierge service that can’t be found when booking on the internet nor in a retail agency, I can offer you expert advice and will be with you every step of the way. I'm only an email or phone call away and if you are in the area and wish to meet me, we can do so at your convenience, as I am not bound to office hours. I hope to hear from you soon! Tanya

My interest and passion for the travel industry started in 1987 when I returned from a year’s backpacking in Europe.I attended Rapid Results and I completed my diploma in 1987 and I started work at Triumph Travel in Sea Point that same year.After 2 years I decided to travel once again and this time I worked and travelled in Europe and in the UK until the end of 1990.I returned and started work at Hylton Ross Travel in Camps Bay. I was in the Camps Bay and then in the Waterfront travel offices over a period of 6 years during which time I successfully completed my IATA UFTAA Standard and Advanced certification. I was then given the opportunity to manage the Overseas Visitors Club hostels and travel offices in London, which was also owned by Mr and Mrs Ross.I was in London for 4 years and I returned back to Cape Town in 2000. Since then I have been at Hylton Ross Travel in Camps Bay. I have recently started my own travel business and I am backed by the world’s largest home-working company who operate in 6 countries around the world. Over the years I have been lucky enough to experience swimming in the Dead Sea, climbing Masada to watch the sunrise in Israel, backpacking through Europe by Eurail and ferry trips around the Greek Islands. Take a helicopter trip over the Grand Canyon, visit San Diego, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Take a tour from New York down the east coast to Disney in Orlando. Visit Lochness in Scotland, climb Ben Nevis and take the very scenic train trip from Fort William to Oban and ferry to the Isle of Mull. These are just some of my highlights; I have also visited Mauritius, Hong Kong and Ireland.Working as a Travel Counsellor, I am now able to offer a more personalised concierge travel service to my clients and I also have access to more information and specials which I can pass onto you. As a client of mine you can have complete peace of mind that attention to detail will be paid to your travel arrangements. Another bonus booking with me is that everything booked through me is financially protected.I look forward to assisting you with your future travel plans, so that they will one day be wonderful memories.RegardsCindy

Hello and welcome.Andre Gide said: “Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore”. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the good fortune of travelling on high-speed trains in Shanghai, exploring New York, revelling in the sights and sounds of London, sailing in a yacht in Sydney harbour, lazing on a sunny beach of Mauritius, learning to tango in Argentina, stopping for a cool drink on the promenade of Rio, striding down the marble road of the library in Ephesus. Oh yes and there was the polite declining to partake of a stew of bats in Seychelles, screeching like a kid on the sand dunes of Dubai, getting soaked in the rain in Auckland, crouching/crawling through underground tunnels in Vietnam, riding a rather smelly camel at the pyramids… …aah just some of the memories of travelling far and wide through USA, United Kingdom, Europe, Russia, India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia, Egypt, South America, Indian and Ocean Islands among others. Oh and then there's Alaska – its on my bucket list – still working on it!Ooh and did I tell you that I've a huge crush on cruising!!! How else can you visit more than one country, eat as much as you like, shop until you drop, gym until you’re slim, relax at the pool, watch a show, mingle or find a quiet spot, have a pedi, climb a rock wall, dress up, dress down….and unpack only once! So what is the new ocean on your bucket list? There is nothing I love more than seeing the world through the eyes of yet another excited traveller, so please put my years of travelling and industry experience to the test and let’s work on your dream together. I look forward to working with you soon and wherever you are on the globe right now, may you have a fabulous day (or evening).

The human race's need for exploring, experiencing, feeling and being somewhere new, will always drive us to travel. Travelling feeds my soul, whether it is in relation to my own travels or helping others explore a world beyond their own. I am Lize Roodt and I love travel. Inspiring, planning and converting people’s travel dreams into reality is what I do. I have come to believe my love for travel started at a very young age, maybe even while I was still in my mother’s womb as she sat on the back of a bakkie driving on bumpy roads to Sodwana. I have worked in the travel industry in some way or form since I left high school. I completed my BCom (Hons) in Tourism Management after taking a 2-year gap in Europe. I have worked in travel, in the tour operator, retail travel and corporate travel sectors. In 2015 I started my own business in partnership with Travel Counsellors and have not looked back. I believe once you have travelled, it is a continuous life experience. From the moment you get that feeling to move your feet, all the way until you arrive home and you already start to plan the next trip. It is a circular travel experience journey. As a travel enthusiast, I love this journey. I love to inspire and find out WHY my clients are travelling, if they do not have a destination in mind - I strive to find one that matches their needs. By discovering who they are and the reasons why they travel, helps me connect with their journey and ensure I find the best travel solution for them. These journeys take time and attention to plan, so I work differently to your ‘traditional travel agent’, I am not just a booking agent. I consult, I care and create individual travel itineraries with my expertise I have earned through years of experience and using reliable resources and trustworthy travel suppliers and products. Travel Counsellors has made sure I have access to these suppliers’ tips through our innovative technology, everything at my fingertips. Whether you are a first-time traveller or seasonal jet setter, there comes a certain peace of mind when you leave your travel plans to an expert. I am there for you, not just for the planning but every step of the way, before, during and after through this continuous journey. I am always only a phone call away. Talk & Consult. Trust & Care. Travel & Create Memories. Travel Counsellors. Looking forward to creating your travel memories because with us, its personal!

Hello and welcome! Thank you for visiting my web page. My name is Nicci Hayden, I am a Travel Counsellor based in the wonderful suburb of Durbanville in Cape Town. I grew up in Johannesburg, but moved here with my family in 1998. I got married in 2008 and my husband and I have a two children, Logan and Lyla! We've moved into my childhood home and live life to the fullest each and every day. Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in April 2009, I worked in retail travel for 5 years prior to that. What an unforgettable experience, it taught me so many things about people (clients and staff), the world and most importantly about myself. Nothing gives me more pleasure than getting to know you; discussing and planning your perfect holiday and afterwards hearing about how your dream holiday or business trip went. During my 5 years I took over 2 different stores, turned them around and in the process I was awarded with the titles of Top Producer, High Achiever and 1 Million Dollar Elite Consultant. I have travelled to: Zanzibar, Mauritius (8 times), Thailand (Phuket, Bangkok and Chiang Mai), London, New York, Orlando (Disney World), The Bahamas, Las Vegas, Namibia, Reunion and within South Africa. On my bucket list I have Alaska, Norway, South America & more of the East.Being a Travel Counsellor has been the most incredible experience; I have invested more in my customers and I have built very special relationships with many of them and their families, and in doing so I received a nomination for the Best Newcomer in 2009. In 2017 and 2018 I received the Highest TC Score, voted by my clients, it's an honour being of service to my clients and being recognized for it means so much to me. As of 2018 I qualified as a Gold TC.The biggest impact of starting my own business is that I now have more time to focus on learning about destinations, travel products and ways to add more value for money to all my clients travels. My work and life balance is far better, I managed to lose 32 kgs, buy my second home and enjoy more time with clients, friends and family. The reason I chose Travel Counsellors, is that I get to focus 100% on You, and Your dreams will become a reality and I will be the conduit. Service is my pride and passion. What sets me apart, is that I have the support to be available to you 24 hours a day, and with me EVERY trip is personal! The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page… Let us turn the page together. I look forward to hearing from you soon, Nicci HaydenJoin my Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/Nicci.Hayden.Travel.CounsellorsFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/niccihaydentravel

I was destined to travel; Zimbabwean-born, South African bred, a British Citizen (I lived there for five years), honorary Australian (my entire family lives there), and I now reside in Knysna with my husband and 2 children. With over 20 years of experience working in the Travel industry - I am passionate about travelling and love adventuring to new countries and exploring exciting cities and cultures. I'm well-travelled and have visited over 30 countries, but I still have a few more ''must-see'' places on my list, such as Fiji, Vietnam, Alaska Cruise, and spending Christmas in New York. I could go on forever. My most memorable travel experience is backpacking around Europe for three months at 20 with my now-husband. We visited 17 countries and explored the most beautiful cities and beaches. We met so many amazing people and had the time of our lives! My intriguing favourites are India, Dubai, Israel, Zanzibar, Mauritius, Australia, and South America. Before I became a Travel Counsellor, I worked for a large leisure retail group (2005 – 2010) and a student travel group (2010 – 2013). I treasure both experiences as they develop me into a knowledgeable travel consultant. I run my travel franchisee with Travel Counsellors. What I love about being a Travel Counsellor is that I can now offer a specialised, personal, one-on-one service. The flexibility of working from home allows me to be available to my customers 24/7. I will always go the extra mile to reconnect you with loved ones, or create your perfect Honeymoon, find the best value-for-money flight, a great hotel or your ideal tour. Go make those memories - let me take you there!"Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer."

Did you know that the average consumer visits 3.6 sites when shopping for an airline ticket online? Did you know that before acceptance of purchase, those consumers will be re-directed to an airline, cruise, hotel, or car rental site or perhaps even to an Online Travel Agent for the final purchase of a ticket? Travel bargain websites collect and publish bargain rates by advising consumers where to find them online (sometimes but not always through a direct link). Rather than providing detailed search tools, these sites generally focus on offering advertised specials, such as last-minute sales from travel suppliers eager to deplete unused inventory; therefore, these sites often work best for consumers who are flexible about destinations and other key itinerary components. Choices, choices, choices… I always live by the principle of spending money on memories | experiences, rather than buying things, as memories will last forever. Allow me to be your Travel Counsellor where I can assist you with all your travel needs. I have 21 years of experience in the travel industry.

Greetings from the leafy suburb of Kloof in Kwazulu-Natal! My name is Helen and I've been with Travel Counsellors since April 2008. I made this move after spending the previous 15 years working for various airlines, tour operators and retail agencies in SA and London. It was here my passion for travel grew as I handled varied travel arrangements. Travelling to many destinations has been a joy and a privilege which I am grateful for. I've visited many cities around the world spanning the continents of Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. Experiencing diverse cultures, meeting people from different nations and my adventurous nature are some of the reasons I love to travel.Cruising the Inside Passage in Alaska was incredible. Viewing game in the Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater National Parks and the Okavango Delta is something I'll treasure forever. Historical Europe and iconic cities like Hong Kong, New York, London, Sydney all have been wonderful. There are many more, and the list of places to see still too long!I want to help you gather treasured moments and memories with your friends and families. Assisting you to get to your preferred destination is what makes my job fulfilling and interesting and I can’t wait to plan it with you. I will guarantee you an exceptional level of personal service and attention to detail. Working from home puts me in the unique position of being able to meet you where ever and whenever it suits you. I am not limited by standard office hours so feel free to drop me an email or give me a call when it is convenient with you. You are also covered by our exceptional Financial Protection Plan which protects your money against supplier insolvency. No other travel company in South Africa offers this. So peace of mind travel is a vital part of the service.I've also spent some time working at a game lodge and had numerous trips around South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia, so really do know what to look for when it comes to planning the perfect safari. These are some great places for multi-generational family trips. Conservation and community focused lodges are my speciality.Travelling in nature is my absolute passion, so also enjoy curating those "once in a lifetime" trips to far flung areas where you can explore the remote and pristine wilderness areas left in the word. Thinking of the exploring places your friends haven't considered? Think Arctic Circle, the incredible Northwest Passage and the land of polar bears. Or head south to Patagonia and onwards on an exploration ship to the icebergs of Antartica.Looking forward to hearing from you and turning your dreams into a reality!regards

Fellow travellers, welcome to my website! Travel is, was and will forever be a motivating force of my life!After completing my law degree, I was in an existential predicament because I realised that my heart was not devoted to the scales of Madame Justitia. My wise father encouraged me to take a travelling sabbatical. I travelled through Africa with my brother, who was doing sub continental tours at that stage. With the sun rising over the Great Rift Valley, I realised that my heart irrevocably belongs to this mystical continent of ours. In that moment I understood the gentleness of the mothers of Africa, the laziness of time, the force of the Great Zambezi, the joy of a, “Jumbo” in friendly greeting, the humour of the locals over a Tusker, (the local beer of Tanzania), the devastation caused by famine and poverty, the beauty of a sunset and the shy smile of an umfaan.The United Kingdom was next on my list. For three years I worked on and off in Stratford upon Avon and used the rest of the time to explore the history and diversity of the cultural life in Europe. Back in South Africa I married my best friend, one magical night under the bright stars of a Free State sky. Fortunately for me, he also loves the great beyond and shares my passion for travel. We have two children and we use every opportunity that we can to take them with us, whether it is to Clocolan, Cape Town or Lesotho!I get my biggest kick out of sharing in the huge smiles of satisfied customers. The awards that I have accumulated through the years, have made me proud, but the best reward that I can receive is a client coming back from an awesome journey and having no words to describe the joys experienced.I am now a proud Travel Counsellor. I am home-based, so I can manage my time between my family and my clients. I am available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week to assist where ever I can. My passion and love for travel is what encourages and drives me to give the best personalised service to my clients. The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence, but in the mastery of his passions. –Alfred Lord Tennyson-For all your travel requirementsregardsNina

Welcome to my personal website. I was fortunate to meet travellers early in my life, and listening to their amazing stories and travel experiences, I decided that this is what I wanted to do as a career. I jumped on the first plane to Europe after finishing my Matric exam, and at the tender age of 18, I found myself in Germany and addicted to travelling! After a year in Germany, I travelled to the United States, where I lived for four months. My parents forced me to study before I embarked on any more travels, and I studied travel and tourism as this is what I love! The UK was next on my travel list, where I lived for three years, earning money and exploring the rest of the world. During this time, I realised how proud I am to be a South African; Africa, was calling! My career as a travel agent began in 1999, so did my travels to Africa, India, the Far East and Australia. I'm so fortunate to make a living from my passion, and have done so for 24 years. I am living my dream in the travel business. I am the proud owner of a home–based travel business aligned to Travel Counsellors, the largest home-working company in the world. Travel Counsellors operate in 6 countries worldwide and offer me fantastic technology, IT, Operation and marketing support which frees me up so that I can dedicate my time to do what I love best – offering the best service to my clients. Nothing is more rewarding for me than a satisfied client, exceeding their expectations and changing their perception of travel or a destination. I am available 24/7 to my clients, and a huge bonus is that your money is protected when you book through one of our approved suppliers!I look forward to being of service to you and booking all your travel requirements.Regards Maggie

Hello everyone,My name is Justine and I have been in travel for 34 years.I have worked in travel in Johannesburg and Cape Town as well. I started in travel in 1991 working for a few large retail agencies over many years and I grew in experience in selling Corporate and Leisure Travel. I have also managed a retail travel store in a shopping centre for many years and learnt to deal with people from all walks of life who were looking for many different experiences. At one of the companies that I worked for we were the 1st Joint Venture store with the Automobile Association and I dealt with all aspects of the AA from memberships to cross border documentation and retail product sales as well. Travel is such a deep and special connection and once you start you cannot stop. Some of my favourite destinations have been Egypt, Malawi, the Amazon, Orlando and the crazy fun of Disney and the snow of Denver and Aspen ... of course always Mauritius and the fabulous fun of cruising with friends and family to varied destinations from local to Europe and the Mediterranean.I have realised that there is one very special way to live life and that is to travel all the while meeting new people while living and learning new life experiences that open your world view and change your perceptions of life. I love assisting people to experience the world in the eyes of travel and to open their horizons to new and exciting people and places. Join me as we live and work and travel.

Welcome to my webpage! I LOVE what I do! I cannot think of another job out there that I’d rather do. Every day is a new challenge, often with a new destination and things to learn. I started off my international travels when I went over to the States to work as an au-pair. Whilst there, I got to travel extensively and to experience most of the “must do’s” in America. I’ve since travelled to Canada, Australia, the UK, the Netherlands, Tenerife, Hungary, Austria, France, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, United Arab Emirates and Mauritius. I’m a bit of a sucker when it comes to the “little things” that make your travel arrangements more pleasant. Be it a business trip, a honeymoon, family holiday (I have 2 kids of my own, so trust me when I say that I know what can be expected!) or just a quick breakaway, I will always try and compare your travels to my travels and think of what I can do to make it just that little bit more enjoyable.

Hello and Welcome! “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover” – H. Jackson Brown Jr. My name is Marion Pearson and I am your Travel Counsellor! I am locally based here in sunny South Africa. Johannesburg has been my home since I was 19 years old but every time I travel I leave a piece of myself behind… I suppose in a way a “marker” for me to return and relive the memories. I am the youngest of 4 children and I am very close to my siblings, family is always close to my heart and I would not be the person I am today if it wasn’t for them. Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 2021, as a young adult, I always had the dream of travelling and exploring the world. To reach this dream, there was only one way – study and learn as much as I can. I qualified with distinctions in a Travel & Tourism Career Diploma, City and Guilds Certificate and GDS system course. Since 2004 I have been fortunate enough to work in various sectors of the travel industry; corporate and leisure travel, tour operator, leisure and groups. This lets me develop skills in planning and creating the most memorable experiences for my clientele. One of the perks of being a travel agent in this industry, is the opportunities it afforded me to travel, both professionally and personally. To experience first-hand the destinations and places that I love and then to be able to share this with my clients is invaluable. Some of the destinations that I have been to include: Mauritius, Seychelles, Zanzibar, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Australia, Thailand, USA, Greece, Austria and Croatia. I always had it on my bucket list that I wanted to set foot on every continent, so far I have 5 down (Africa, Asia, Australia, North America, Europe) with 2 more to go; Antarctica and South America. I hope to hear from you soon to find out about your dreams, bucket list destinations and adventures you want to experience.

The travel industry isn't just about the job, it’s as much of an adventure as the actual journey - I’m still passionate after all these years – volcanic eruptions aside!

As a professional businesswoman, I think like you do and I apply my years of experience mastering the complexities of arranging business and vacation travel to get you the lowest cost of travel while still providing you with uncompromised personalised service.I invite you to discover the quality of attentive personal service that I can offer you so that you can travel like you want to travel.I look forward to working with you.Regards

My name is Sonia. I am a Travel Counsellor based in Parkrand, Boksburg. I was born in Boksburg and did my schooling in Boksburg. My first job was in this beautiful, quaint and quiet city. I have a wonderful, supportive husband and two wonderful children. (A girl and a boy) Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I worked for various retail travel agencies, gaining 25 years of experience in the travel industry. Whilst working for the various retail travel companies, I was given the opportunity to attend various courses and gained knowledge in various aspects such as fares and ticketing, Galileo – reservations system, billing and settlement plan. I was awarded certificates for these courses that I attended. I love booking people on holidays, and the feedback they give me upon their return, always puts a smile on my face, knowing that they had a relaxing and enjoyable time. I will always endeavour to make your holiday the best experience of your life, from the time you arrive at your destination to the time you arrive back in our beautiful country South Africa.I have travelled to Mauritius, Israel, Mozambique, the U.K, France, Germany, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands and last but not least I have also travelled quite a lot in our beautiful country South Africa. I absolutely love travelling in South Africa, and my favourite city is definitely Cape Town, the mother city. I truly believe we have a world in one country. I also loved travelling to Israel, as it was a really spiritual experience for me and it had always been my dream destination. I hope to travel to Israel again sometime in the future.I love being a Travel Counsellor, because I can give each of my clients the individual attention that they require and deserve. I am available to my clients 24/7, so they need not fear if a travel emergency should come up, as I am just a phone call away. The flexibility of being a Travel Counsellor also means that I have more time for my family, which is something I have always wanted.Whether it’s a honeymoon you’re wanting to book, or a first time holiday, or even a weekend away to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you name it, I can book it for you and make your holiday an unforgettable experience.Yours in travel

Do what you love, and you will never work a day in your life!This is me, and I am extremely grateful to be in this position. I have worked in Travel my whole adult life, and dreamt about it since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. I have been intrigued by the world and the amazing places out there and always known, as long as I can, I want to travel and be involved in travel.I travelled extensively in my 20’s, while working for an international airline as a Flight Attendant, and on the ground. Once I married and started my own family, my travels slowed down a little, but I have never lost the wanderlust. I still try to travel as often as I can, but now I also get to travel through my clients travels. I like to get involved in the planning of a holiday and making sure it is 100% right for each person. Everybody is different, and so should their holidays be. With Travel Counsellors I have access to wonderful systems and dedicated tour operators in various countries around the world, which allow me to create my own tailor made itineraries for each holiday. From Honeymoons in Sri Lanka, to a girls’ break on Gili Air in Bali and a group of friends to Vietnam for cooking experiences. I love creating these experiences and making sure that each holiday is special and suits the persons dream / bucket list ideals.Booking travel can be stressful and overwhelming, with so many choices and options out there. I enjoy taking this stress off you, and make sure that I give the best options, both price and experience wise, for your specific needs and wants. I am based in the Western Cape, but have clients throughout the world. I would love to share in the planning of your travel goals.

I still miss Dubai as living there for 7.5 years enriched our lives so much and it will always hold a special place in my heart.I worked as a Business Analyst for many years in a different industry to travel. I have travelled extensively during this period. Starting a travel business gives me the opportunity to share my passion for travel with my customers.

Leisure Travel!Words that make my heart beat faster-all of those wonderful places waiting to be discovered by you, the leisure traveller! My love for travel started right after school, when I joined SAA, and worked there for 5 years. My first big adventure was taking a Contiki Tour through Europe with a friend of mine. This trip whet my appetite, and I soon realised that travel had to stay an integral part of my life. I have worked for over 22 years in the travel industry, and I've travelled to many different parts of the world including the UK, various European countries, Argentina, the Far East, Turkey and The Comores. I know that choosing the right destination that suits your personality as well as your budget is of utmost importance, and I will endeavour to do just that, for you! I have over 1700 colleagues, dotted throughout the world, who can assist me in giving you local knowledge wherever you travel to, as well as being a helping hand if you need it. However, booking through me, means that you have my assistance 24/7. With my commitment to you, and our superb back-up support from our head offices - both locally and internationally, there'll always be someone at hand to help should you need it.Whether you're looking for self-drive holidays, island living or adventure seeking holidays, no holiday is too big or too small for me to help you with. I also assist you with visa applications, the necessary inoculations that you might need and I can guide you with best buys from the country you are visiting, as well as giving you lots of information about that area. No need to buy travel books either, because with Phenix, a remarkable dynamic packaging system exclusive to Travel Counsellors, I can provide all the information that you might need.

Welcome to my World!The hustle of London ignited my love for travel way back when I was a young girl. My very first overseas trip, I was dazzled by the bright lights, minding the gap and devouring Yorkie chocolate bars.My passion has led me from the Pyramids in Egypt, I’ve cycled the hills in Tuscany. I’ve marvelled at the wonder of our Victoria Falls and sipped Champagne under the Eiffel Tower.Wherever you’d like to be, whatever you’re dreaming to experience, I can make it happen with my personal attention and care.For those who I haven’t met yet, I’m Kirsty and your personal, concierge travel service.

Hi there and a warm welcome! I'm Alex Vorster, your friendly Travel Counsellor, nestled in the beautiful coastal haven of Melkbosstrand, Cape Town. While I call this seaside gem home, thanks to owning my own franchise, I have the joy of assisting you from virtually anywhere.Travel holds a special place in my heart. My journey with exploration began at the youthful age of 21 when I embarked on an incredible adventure working aboard cruise ships. Across 40 countries, I was fortunate to immerse myself in diverse cultures and cuisines, a joy for this self-proclaimed food enthusiast! Following my time at sea, I returned to our beloved homeland in 2006, where I began my career in the travel industry. Through 18 years of experience, I've not only gained a wealth of knowledge but also discovered the immense beauty our world has to offer, waiting to be explored and experienced.I'm truly passionate about what I do, and to me, each inquiry is special.

My name is Bertie Loubser. I'm an Independent Travel Counsellor based in the Northern Suburbs. I am married, and am the proud father of two beautiful boys!During my 31 years in the travel industry, I’ve had the opportunity to travel to most parts of the world, from New York to Timbuktu. I've experienced many types of holidays; First class air travel, 5 star cruising, backpacking in Greece and Turkey, firsthand experience of Contiki and Trafalgar Tours. Snow-Skiing in Europe and North America, travelled on the Blue Train and I also experienced a working holiday – from farm to construction work in England to packing fish in Scotland. One of the highlights of my travel adventures was taking a break, for a year, to travel overland from Cape Town to London in an old Diesel Landrover visiting 25 countries covering 35,000km.Our award winning reservation system gives me the edge when it comes to sourcing deals best suited to your requirements - from a domestic airticket to a round-the-world-once-in-a-life-time dream holiday. Unlike most “shopping-mall-agents” I’m a Visa Expert, and will be able to assist you with all the aspects of this less pleasant part of your travel arrangements.People often ask why they should make use of my services if everything can be booked on the internet. The answer is simple. The internet is a machine and you're just a number. The internet isn't a judge of character. It won't take your age, culture or personality into consideration, it won't tell you that it's now a rainy season in Thailand or that there's hardly any water coming down Victoria Falls in October. It won't tell you that you need a visa for the UK or Yellow Fever certificate when travelling to the Masai Mara! You cannot call the internet in the middle of the night when you are being told your flight is overbooked! The internet won’t call you back, after you return home, to welcome you home in order to listen as to how your trip was.Thanks to Travel Counsellors global buying power, I can more than often match, and even better internet offers. I’m available 24/7 and can meet you at a place convenient to you. I'm in the business of offering exceptional personal service and finding the best options for you at the best possible prices. I am looking forward to assist with your travel plans and cannot wait to hear from you.Bertie
