It has been a minute since I have posted here!
I reflect on 2024, the year of duality and contradictions, of settling and exploring. Settling into my new surroundings, where I am very much in love with Cape Town. It is the most amazing place for adventures and keeps you exploring!
May the new year 2025 bring new adventures, new passport stamps, new roads to travel and new connections!
This year, I am looking forward to sharing and guiding more clients around values that are close to my heart! Journeys and trips for the new season of traveller, please ask me about:
- More sustainable desintations
- More responsible travelling
- More giving back to the local communities
- More ethical travel practices
- More slow travel

Taking in the view at our Travel Counsellors Head Office today, also taking in our new re-branding which I will share more with you shortly - so there is a little bit of saying goodbye to the old but I am thinking how sometimes we all could do with a refresh, reboot and rebrand from time to time.
It is good for the soul...
P.S. Do you know what really helps to feel refreshed and get that reboot = Travel, I'm just saying!

It's been a wild ride the last few years, I want to thank all of my friends, family, and clients that supported me during the toughest rollercoaster that was the pandemic and everything that came with that.
There is still nowhere else I would rather be than working in travel! Mindsets are shifting on the way we travel and I believe travel, done mindfully and with awareness, can be a great force for good!
Travel is a ready-to-go container for transformation, growth, and learning - just add YOU!
Let's crack on with another amazing year of open skies and new destinations!
Travel Light, โจ

I am approaching 2023 a little differently, with a sense of softness. I am setting my intentions for expansion and ease, which may sound counter intuitive to expand with ease... but there are many ways to approach to life and when you become aware of a way that aligns with you, things tend flow, and I plan on tapping into that more often.
Working for yourself comes with lots of stresses, nevermind all the challenges in the travel industry so I am trying to cultivate an unwavering inner peace so I can face everything thrown at me with a sense of calm.
Looking forward to creating more intentional travel experiences!!
Chat soon!

Take time to reflect, relax and rest!
I want to thank all who have supported my business, whether you booked travel, referred me to your friends and family, or just sent me some kind words! It is the joy of every moment that made this year wonderful!
I wish you and your families a magical festive season filled with joy, love, and travel!
Keep safe and be kind!

The majestic and awe inspiring Victoria Falls, ladies and gentlemen, it was spectacular!
I honestly felt like I couldn't take enough photos or videos, I could have spent the entire day entire here alone!
Soaking up mother nature at its best... letting the "smoke that thunders" breathe me in and breathe me out! The Victoria Falls is very much ALIVE!
Enjoy! X

Did you know that each year millions of ๐๐ sardines leave the Capeโs cold waters (in May) and swim to the warmer waters of KZN? It is one of the worldโs greatest marine spectacles (ends in July) and attracts schools of ๐ฆsharks, cape fur seals, ๐ฌdolphins and ๐ณ whales.

Travel transformed my life when I left high school!
Are your children finishing High school this year and not sure what to do after school?
I took a gap year after I finished school and it was the best thing I did and my parents could have done for me. It opens your mind, heart and feeds the soul with new experiences! It doesnโt need to be a whole year but travel is the best education to learn about yourself and who you are beyond the comforts of home! Travel helps us grow.
If you need help setting your kids up with a travel experience after High school, to send them on that life changing, purpose formulating journey - let me help you find the best space, place and travel plans for your peace of mind that Iโm looking out for them and for them to explore knowing someone has their back!

The amazement of exploring, experiencing, feeling and being somewhere new will always drive humans 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 creating peopleโs travel dreams into reality is what I do. I have come to believe my love for travel started at very young age, maybe even while I was still my motherโs womb as she sat on the back of a bakkie driving on bumpy road 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 2 year gap in Europe. I have worked in travel media, tour operator, retail travel and corporate travel. 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 just an ongoing experience. From the moment you get that feeling to move your feet all the way until your journey home when you already start planning the next trip. It not only the physical travelling portion but the inbetween as well, so the journey never ends once you start.
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 particular destination in mind - I find one that matches their needs. By discovering their needs and reasons it helps me connect with their journey and ensure I find the best travel solution for them.
I like to take the time to get to know my clients and build travel experiences to suit their needs. I work differently to your โnormal travel agentโ, I am not a booking agent. I consult, care and create individual travel itineraries through my years of experience and using reliable resources and quality, trustworthy travel suppliers and products.
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 not just for the planning but every step of the way, before, during and after. I am always only a phone call away.
