Comfort zones are cool and all but have you ever experienced the rush of packing a suitcase, to board a plane, to visit a country youve never been before?

OVC is a place where all your wildest travel dreams come true.

As a former USA Au Pair, I highly recommend traveling and working abroad before choosing a specific career - Sometimes we think we know what we want to do with our lives until we dont.

Working abroad gives you the opportunity to not only see new places and meet new people, but to gain independence and responsibility.

Take the leap, its worth it!

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

OVC is a place where you are completely taken care of and an amazing opportunity to gain the most incredible memories. I wake up everyday proud to work and represent OVC!

Travelling is one of my passions in life and I would love to help other young travellers to fulfil their dreams of travelling.

My journey with the OVC has taken me from one adventure to the next! Fresh home from my gap years in the United States I began consulting in the early days of 2004! I’ve watched the OVC grow from strength to strength, and to proudly say we are the leaders in SA youth travel! I’m currently the franchise owner of OVC East Rand, Johannesburg. Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West, Namibia and Pretoria. We have fantastic crew members countrywide, eager to help young travellers reach their dreams of exploring the world just as we have had the opportunity to!

My passion, travels and knowledge of the United States culture have put me in the role of managing OVC American programs: Au Pair USA, USA Hospitality Internships and Camp America. I personally handle each and every applicant that partakes in these programs. My role ensures all our young travellers are well taken care of when on their American adventure!

My Gap year afforded me the opportunity to live in the United States for 2 years as an Aupair and to travel extensively throughout the USA. My travels have taken me through to the UK and Ireland, Africa, Middle East and one of my favourite areas, the Far East! Travelling allows you to experience new cultures, new people, new adventures and make lifetime memories.

To all those inspired to travel, to find new adventures and to discover themselves, I encourage you all to take the steps I have. You will never regret your decision to venture out of South Africa!
