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.

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

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. I have access to fantastic technology that allows me to source and find great available rates within minutes.I have started my own Travel Business and being part of the Travel Counsellors group gives me the opportunity to be independent and available to my much appreciated clients, and it also gives me the back up support that I need. There is over 1 500 Travel Counsellors, just like me, worldwide - so trusted first hand advise can always be sourced should we need to get some “not so easily found” info. Nothing is ever too much effort – please don’t be afraid to ask! I love being able to make your travel dreams come true – so I am a strong believer is making every second memorable! Pop me a mail or give me a buzz - I would love to assist you in making your travel plans a real pleasure!Regards Marijke

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!

Having a balanced life between work and home makes it much easier to be available for all my clients and my family.In the past, I’ve serviced corporate and leisure travellers, always being under pressure to offer good service and to find the best prices, to be fast and friendly.I’ve travelled to many different cities namely; Amsterdam, Belgium, Malaysia, Paris, Sudan, Dubai and a once in a lifetime experience on a boat cruise on the Red Sea. I can offer over 700,000 quality hotels worldwide with brilliant rates, insurance, visas, car hire, flights, transfers, tours and much more. I have a passion for travel and my business and it is my desire to make every travellers dream holiday a reality. So it does not matter which geographical area you are situated in, I can be of service to you.Getting positive feedback from my clients and having my client keep returning to book their next trip with me, keeps me motivated and dedicated to make their dreams come true, while I’m living mine. Word of mouth is very important that’s why I aim to make every client of mine a happy and satisfied client.So why wait, give me a call and start packing.I look forward to a blessed future in booking your travels with all of you!

Ever thought of trying Surstromming in Sweden or Shiokara from Japan? What about Marmite? Well did you know that it’s made from yeast extract, a by-product of brewing beer, Marmite (or Vegemite as it’s known as in Australia) is essentially the slurry from the bottom of the barrel that most breweries just throw away. It’s a sticky brown paste with a concentrated, salty flavour that’s usually spread on toast or eaten with cheese.Now that I have your attention my name is Jessica Cameron. I live in Bloemfontein and I’ve had the privilege of working in the travel industry since 21 April 2001 for a large retail agency. My career had started and 5 months later September 9/11 happened which changed the world of travel as we know it and just after that the Tsunami and ash clouds to name a few. It comes in handy if you have someone to call…someone that can assist you or just give you that reassurance that all will be ok.That’s where I come in.

I myself have travelled to places like Vietnam, Egypt, Phuket, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mauritius (5 times already) Dubai, Israel (visited and worked on a kibbutz), Zanzibar, Reunion and Ireland.

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.

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

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!

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!

I have been working in travel since the by-gone days of paper tickets, so I definitely have the experience and passion to make sure your dream holiday becomes a reality. I am able to do all the normal travel agent booking procedures such as flights, accommodation, car hire, transfers etc., but that is not only why you should book with me.

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.

Hi, I'm Claire and I'm based in Somerset West. I've grown up travelling since the tender age of 6 weeks old, both with my family and solo. Most of my best memories involve some aspect of travel and this has always fuelled my passion of helping others craft their memorable travel journeys. I absolutely love assisting my clients to put together truly memorable and personalised itineraries so that they too can craft their own spectacular travel stories for their memory bank.I approach each itinerary as a unique opportunity to create something remarkable. My passion lies in understanding what makes an ideal travel experience special, then bringing those elements together seamlessly. Whether you're dreaming of a sun-soaked beach retreat, an adventurous exploration of ancient ruins, or a cultural immersion in a vibrant city, your journey receives my complete attention to detail.What truly sets my service apart is the personal connection. I believe that the best travel experiences reflect the travellers themselves - their interests, preferences and dreams. By taking the time to understand what matters most to you, I can design experiences that resonate on a deeper level. This isn't about standard packages or one-size-fits-all solutions; it's about crafting moments that become cherished memories.Some of my favourite travel memories include ballooning above the ancient Sossusvlei desert, dining in underground limestone caves in the wine-region around Saumur in France, exploring the colourful markets of Dar es Salaam and winding my way through exceptional scenery on some of the best train journeys across Europe. Still on my bucket list is a horse-riding safari through the Okavango Delta, the epic 14 day rail journey from Cape Town to Dar es Salaam and seeing the Aurora Borealis in Finland.Nothing brings me greater satisfaction than hearing your stories upon your return - the sunset that took your breath away, the unexpected encounter that became a highlight, or the perfect meal that truly captured the essence of a destination.These stories fuel my passion for all things travel related and remind me why creating these experiences matters.Your journey begins long before you board a plane. It starts the moment we connect to transform your travel aspirations into thoughtfully designed reality. Let me handle the intricate details while you focus on the excitement of anticipation and, ultimately, the joy of discovery. Let me help you create your next travel story.

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.Specific training has qualified me as a cruise specialist, an Aussie Specialist and also an Irish specialist. Having skied a lot of top resorts in Europe and working for a ski tour operator, I have also excellent knowledge in this field.I've also spent some time working at a game lodge and had numerous trips into the African bushveld, so really do know what to look for when it comes to planning the perfect safari.Looking forward to hearing from you and turning your dreams into a reality!regards

Hi, I am Anna Dalrymple, a Travel Counsellor based in White River, Mpumalanga. My passion for travelling has taken me to many countries, including most of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the USA, and Canada, throughout South America and Southern Africa. Travel is an opportunity to not only explore and experience new things but also as a chance to grow.I was born in the United Kingdom, but the travel bug bit early as after school, I moved to the French Alps where I learned to refine my skiing prowess. Australia was next – also skiing and attending University, then another continental shift onto the USA – more travelling and studying! Finally, on to South Africa, my home for the past 21 years.Having travelled extensively with my three children, I understand the complexity of family travel and what you need to ensure a seamless and enjoyable holiday.Being a Travel Counsellor allows me to use all my travel experience and knowledge to help my clients organise their dream holidays.

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

Welcome and thank you for visiting my web page. I am an experienced Leisure and Corporate Travel Counsellor with over 18 years of experience in the travel industry. As a result of my passion, professionalism, and personal service I have won the title of Best Travel Counsellor Award in South Africa for 2019 and 2020. In 2024, I was one of the 5 nominees for Top Performing Travel Counsellor SA at the prestigious Travel Counsellors global awards in Manchester. I have retained the status of Gold Travel Counsellor since 2014, so you can be assured you are in good hands. Being part of the Travel Counsellors franchise, unlike a traditional retail travel agency, means that I can be available at a time and place that best suits you – 24/7 from the comfort of your home or office! No opening or closing hours and each and every time you call, you will only speak to me. Owning and growing my own business, means that I will always do my best for my clients to ensure a smooth, hassle-free, enjoyable holiday of a lifetime, (especially when it comes to travelling with little one's). I have 2 children aged 14 and 11, so I know how important the extra things are, like having a child meal ordered on their first overseas flight or a really cool seat next to the window. I truly believe that no 2 holidays should ever be the same and that a 'personal touch' makes all the difference. I have been fortunate enough to travel to a variety of destinations so I can offer first-hand knowledge on these destinations and others. My travels have taken me to the USA including Orlando and Universal Studios - WOW, New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Hawaii, the UK, Ireland, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and many beautiful European cities - with Paris being my number one city. In 2023, I was fortunate enough to visit Cancun Mexico on our Travel Counsellors gold trip, however I must admit I prefer the beautiful beaches of Seychelles, Phuket and Mauritius. In November 2024, I did a quick trip up to the Victoria Falls for the third time and each time I see those majestic falls, I am in awe of their power and beauty. In 2025, I hope to join the Travel Counsellors gold trip to Vietnam in September which includes 3 nights in Hanoi and 1 night cruising in Halong Bay. Both Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines fly to Vietnam, so whats great about that, is that I can take advantage of a city stop in either Hong Kong or Singapore, depending on which airline I fly, and both of these cities have been on my bucket list for a long time so looking forward to eventually being able to tick one of them off. Founded in 1994, Travel Counsellors now has over 2000 home-based Travel Counsellors located across six countries. The company’s home-based Travel Counsellor franchisees in South Africa are supported by a dedicated team in Cape Town, and we benefit from a further support team at the company’s UK head office. Being part of this group means I have access to over 800,000 quality hotels worldwide, a vast choice of tour operators, airlines, car rental and visa companies, travel insurance as well as transfer companies, to enable me to tailor-make your dream holiday. I am confident that together with Travel Counsellors' award-winning systems, global reach and buying power, that I can be of service to you whatever your travel requirements are. Travel Counsellors are members of IATA & ASATA. We are BEE compliant. I look forward to hearing from you so that you too, can experience the beauty of the world we live in. Kind regards,

Hello and welcome to my webpage. My name is Petrie Sinclair and I live in Northcliff, Johannesburg and love everything about it - the people, the vibe, theatre and the culture of Johannesburg. I am married, have three adult sons, a daughter-in-law who I see as a wonderful friend and 2 fabulous and feisty granddaughters.I am passionate about travel, hiking and love road trips exploring small towns, with their quirky old hotels and offerings - the roads less travelled. My passion for travel was ignited when I travelled to Germany at the age of 16 as an exchange student and went on to study for a Travel and Tourism Diploma at Pretoria Technikon.From then on, the world was my oyster and during my 22 years of being a travel consultant I travelled extensively, visiting Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, a jungle tour through Malaysia and Singapore. I also travelled to the UK (the Cotswolds is most definitely my favourite place), Northern Ireland for my honeymoon, Ireland, France, Greece, Switzerland, Austria, Miami, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and the Florida Keyes (another favourite of mine). I did trips to the Maldives, Dubai, Mauritius, Comoros and Mozambique.After a hiatus from travel, the bug bit me again. I partnered with Travel Counsellors and am the owner of my own travel business, which I run from home. I am available all hours of the day to tend to your travel needs in an efficient and professional manner. This flexibility ensures that I can assist anyone from anywhere in the world at any given time. I am truly passionate about all things travel related and would love to help you realise your travel dreams.

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

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

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. I will ensure that you will get the best affordable rates. No trip is too big or small for me to handle. Since my travel career started, I have had the pleasure of visiting numerous International and local destinations; (Morocco, Doha, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, India, Dubai, Cairo, Sharm-el-Sheik, Zanzibar, Mozambique, Kenya, Singapore, Bangkok, Cape Town) to name just a few... Allow me to be your Travel Counsellor, I have a passion for travel and I will offer you impartial advice. I am a one-stop shop for all your travel needs and I will be a helping hand at all times. You are never on your own with me.Regards,

Dear Travellers, I am Jaenette Struwig and I welcome you to my Travel Agency located in Paarl. I run my own travel business as a franchisee of Travel Counsellors. My love and passion for Travel and the Travel Industry started after I found myself working in my 20’s, on a Luxury Cruise liner. That allowed me to travel extensively across the world and it naturally led me to my next role to become a Travel Agent. The fact that I loved customers enabled me to be successful in my role. I find great satisfaction working together with my clients to make their dreams come true. Being versatile with Leisure customers as well as Corporate customers and assisting diverse clients’ requirements is so important. My clients know they can trust me, and they know that I have their best interest at heart. I have more than 19 years’ experience working as a Travel Consultant. During this time, I have grown and evolved with all the changes that have happened in the travel industry. I love exploring new ways to assist my clients by being hands on and a forward thinker. I have a big love for Art and Architecture and that is why Edinburgh will always be my favorite city outside of South Africa, but our country with its vast variety of people, amazing beaches and huge variety of food and culture is still my favorite country. Please get in touch with me for your holidays or essential business travel requirements. I look forward to hearing from you.

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!

Thanks to technology I can assist with your travel arrangements wherever you are in the world and at any time that suits you.I recently relocated to Cape Town with my husband and son after having lived in East London for most of my life.

Although the list is long, it is never long enough and there are still many more places on my bucket list – Alaska and Norway being right at the top!As a Travel Counsellor, I am backed by a global business that is fully accredited and offers 100% financial protection. I have more than 1,900 colleagues around the world allowing me to provide my clients with local knowledge that can make all the difference to their travels.

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).

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.

Hi, my name is Charlene Pieterse and I love travel. 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.

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

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!

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

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

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 daughter. 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, wether that is to create your perfect Honeymoon, find the best value-for-money flight, find a great hotel or your ideal tour. I'm your one-stop travel shop. Let me make your travel dreams come true."Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer."

Welcome to my web page! If you would like to turn your travel into an unforgettable experience, you have come to the right place. My name is Lize Joubert and I am a proud Travel Counsellor who is passionate about travel. Although I am based in Pretoria, I am able to provide a service to my clients in any part of the world. I have lived in Pretoria for the largest part of my life and what I absolutely love about my hometown is its people and their warm hospitality. During 1989 I started my career in travel as a junior travel consultant. Those were the days of paper tickets, handwritten invoices and the fax machine was our most modern technology. Over the years a lot has changed, but one thing remains the same - the uniqueness of people. Whether it’s your beliefs, culture, aspirations, goals, habits or hobbies that inspire you to travel, the experience should speak to you! This is what drives me to create a unique experience with your fingerprint on it. Each destination holds its own adventures, excitement and experience. I have done river rafting on the Zambezi, played in Disneyworld, cruised to Mauritius, kayaked on Lake Malawi and sipped cocktails on the white beaches of the Bahamas, to name but a few, and there is no way I can compare one destination to another. Whatever your dream is, it will be an absolute privilege and pleasure to help create your experience and turn it into fond memories. Please feel free to contact me – even outside office hours.I hope to hear from you soon. Best regards,Lize

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.

“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.
