Profile Information

Do you love Africa?: Absolutely

Informatio about you!: I studied travel & tourism.
I love to film / edit travel videos for web view and high quality DVD format as well.
I love photography. I have managed to get a really good HD video camera so I now am filming a travel documentary for backpackers .
I am a self taught web designer / every day I try teach myself a little bit more.
All I do is work / work / work, but I am passionate about everything I do in life and it helps that I love what I do.

I own the Backpackers Galaxy Travel & Advertising Agency which has been in development for 2 years + 6 months and every day the site grows a little bit more than the day before..

We trade as the Backpackers guide to the Galaxy.
Currently the largest backpacking web site in Africa.

Our aim is to compete with Kilroy travel & STA in Scandanavia.

What sets me apart from other companies providing similar services is that I am a software specialist.
I supply hostel owners software that links their hostels room / bed availability to more than 25 web sites like hostel world / hostel bookers / hostels.com and many many more great sites that provide online availability and real time booking functionality. The software I supply allows receptionists to maintain absolute accuracy 24/7 - 365 days a year with ease.
The software reads bookings from any site and automatically updates the hostels availability to all the other sites at the same time to maintain perfect availability .
with my software you can say good bye to the head aches when there is no over bookings.
The software also allows hostels to reach the largest possible target audience globally. Managing 25 websites like hostel world independently is impossible.

If there is anybody keen to elevate their hostels online presence feel free to call me 00258844733655

Your stories about Africa and Travel: I love Mozambique
Junior and I have a lodge and tour company in Vilanculos, Bazaruto Archipelago Islands, we currently building a 80 bed backpacker which should be open in June 2010.

I am interested in...: For now all I want to do is Travel the entire world.
When I get tired of always being on the move I will be retiring in Mozambique.

I would like to meet other travelers that...: I do not know how to answer this question, but I will try.
The beauty about traveling from country to country for me is that I do not know whom I will meet next.
Every body is unique, I believe that every person I meet teaches me a little something about life.
