Norman
I was born in the Belgian Congo and emigrated to South Africa with my parents while still a boy. Educated in South Africa, I began my career in travel management in 1973 in London. My early positions included a European Tour Manager and managing a touring company in Australia. I returned to South Africa in 1976 to pursue my love of travel, culminating with the opening of my own agency in 1982. In 1988, I fulfilled my lifelong dream when I emigrated to the United States with my wife, Cathy, and my young son. I am proud to say that I became a United States citizen in 1994. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than creating programs which allow people to see and feel the heart of Africa. For me, the work I do becomes that much more meaningful when I am able to give both the client and the agent that special sense of this great continent.

Hailing from Brecon in Wales, my family and I moved to South Africa when I was 3 years old. I have spent many years in the travel industry, including a position with British Airways and Rosebank Travel in Johannesburg, one of South Africa's most respected agencies. Along with Norman, I was responsible for all quality control functions at our own agency, and have continued this commitment to quality assurance at South African Airways Holidays. It gives me great pleasure to ensure that the programs we create on your behalf are known for their excellence to detail, and that our agency has been instrumental in opening the heart and soul of Africa to so many American travelers. Although I am not part of the reservations process, I look forward to making sure that the programs and quotes which are designed for you are flawless in every detail.

Born and raised in Cali, Colombia, I came to the United States and settled in Miami almost 25 years ago. Along with my wife and 4 children, Miami has become our home. I thrive on the challenge which each day brings here at the agency, and I love helping our clients - no matter what the request may be! I've been with the travel industry since 1990, so you can probably guess that I love what I do. It's personally gratifying that I am part of making the great continent of Africa a viable and meaningful tourist destination. Please feel free to e-mail me directly at the address below.

If you hear a smile in my voice when I pick up the phone, it's because I am already having a great day! In 1976, I made the big decision to emigrate from South Africa, Johannesburg to be exact, with my lovely wife. We settled in Miami, raised two gorgeous girls and began a lifetime of making wonderful memories. As a former agency owner, I traveled extensively to Europe, sailed on many cruises and, of course, spent time re-visiting South Africa enjoying many safaris. Since coming to Karell Holidays, it has been a wonderful experience to get back to my "roots" and sell Africa after being a corporate agent for so many years. I have talked to people that I grew up with and had the joy of renewing old friendships and making new ones. It will be my pleasure to help you plan a perfect holiday.

As a child, I called Bogota, Colombia 'home'. After receiving a degree in accounting at the age of 22, I began my career working in Colombia. In 1984, a vacation brought me to America, the land of my dreams. I fell in love with this country and remained. I married and had a family. My responsibilities include assisting with document preparation and delivery, document review for quality and accounting functions. No detail is too small to ensure your perfect holiday!
I can describe my relationship with Karell Holidays in four words: (I love this company!) . Please email me by clicking below:

I was born in Puerto Rico and moved with my parents and siblings to Miami. Shortly after graduating from High School I started working in the Travel Industry but took time off to dedicate myself to my children. I knew that after a career of 12 years in a reputable agency, I wanted to continue in the Travel Industry and wanted to be employed by a company with a friendly, family oriented ambiance. I did not think that such an environment existed in companies in this day and age until I came to Karell Travel and it is indeed my pleasure to be part of this team. You can reach me at:
