To all with the love of travelling,

My desire to travel started at a young age where I found myself strongly drawn to the United States of America in particular. It could have been all those movies or the idea that it seemed like such an amazing place but I knew that one day I would have the opportunity to have my American adventure. Coincidently, a few years down the line I found myself in the OVC Hillcrest office beginning my application for Au pairing in the USA. I had an amazing one and a half years in America, living in the amazing city of Philadelphia. I had the incredible opportunity to travel to most, if not all, of the main attractions that America has to offer. From the bustling lifestyle of New York City to the laid back beaches of Santa Monica, from San Francisco to Las Vegas and many destinations in between. Watching the sunrise and sunset in the Grand Canyon will always be one of my most spectacular experiences and one that should be on everyone’s bucket list. After coming home to South Africa and studying towards my teaching degree I made the decision to Au pair in the USA one last time and I could not be more thankful that I did. Living the city life in Philly at 19 was definitely different to living the small town life in Simsbury, Connecticut at 25 where most of my adventures came from jumping into the car and driving to unknown destinations (remember to check how much gas you have before passing the last gas station for 20miles).

In between my travelling around the USA, I have also had the opportunity to go to Thailand which was another experience all of its own.

All of these experiences travelling and living abroad have brought me to starting at OVC, where I can assist those who have the same desire to travel as I do as “Life is but a daring adventure or nothing at all” Helen Keller.

Where to start! After school I did my Travel and Tourism course and then decided to travel to the UK for 2 years. It was great and an experience of a lifetime!!! After my 2 years was up, I was missing the sunshine and cheap beer, so I came back home and was lucky enough to get a job with Robbie Bense in the OVC Durban office back in 2000. I worked there until 2002, and then went to help Robbie manage the Pietermaritzburg branch in 2003. I then got the travelling bug again and decided to travel to Ireland for 2 years. Ireland was awesome and a very festive country!

In January 2007 I opened up OVC Hillcrest. We are in a great place in Hillcrest and are growing fast! I am 100% dedicated to all my clients to give you the BEST experience... Look forward to seeing you!
