"Jobs fill your pocket, but adventures fill your soul."

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

Having travelled around the world to places like Texas, USA , the Netherlands and Croatia, I can definitely say the travel bug has bitten me! Not only have I made new friends abroad but I have also made memories that will stay with me for ever.

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

Take the leap, it is 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 every day, 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 travelling dreams.

For me, the best thing about life is that I’m able to see so much of it in so many different variations all around the world, and that’s why I have chosen to help others to achieve their dreams of exploring and travelling! Although I am still studying for my degree, I try to grasp every opportunity that comes my way and see as much of our earth as possible. My daily goal in life is to be a happy and joyful person and to spread those positive vibes to others as well because there is nothing better than feeling good! Some of the places that I have visited include Mozambique, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Dubai and my ultimate favourite is Switzerland. My ideal holiday is skiing in the Alps. It’s time to stop existing and start living, so come on, get 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 watched the OVC grow from strength to strength, and we are proud to 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!

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 enter into these programs, ensuring that 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 au pair and to travel extensively throughout the USA. My travels have taken me 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 to take the steps I have. You will never regret your decision to venture out of South Africa!
