✈️ Friday Chuckle Vibes

“Me, going on a trip to literally anywhere:
‘Should I move here?’

Come on… who else is like this? One breakfast croissant in Paris and you’re checking apartment listings. One sunset in Paternoster and you’re mentally drafting your resignation letter. Travel does that — it unlocks the “what ifs” and “why nots” in the best possible way.

Reflect. Breathe. Laugh a little.
As the week wraps up —
✔ Tasks ticked off
✔ Tiny wins stacked
✔ Lessons learned
✔ Coffee consumed
✔ Dreams postponed (just till Monday )
Take a moment to reflect on how far you’ve come and then let it go for the weekend. You’ve earned your downtime, your rest, your next adventure.

hashtag#PassportStampTheory
Every stamp in your passport isn’t just a place…
It’s a yes.
✅ Yes to discomfort
✅ Yes to detours
✅ Yes to being the outsider
Because the goal was never just new places…
It was becoming someone brave enough to go.

So wherever your weekend takes you.
✨ Home, road trip, or faraway escape ~
May you carry lighthearted joy, belly laughs and a wide-open spirit.
The world is waiting. Go be brave. Thank YOU for trusting TAG (Travel Assignment Group) to take you there.

Proud to be part of a company that backs purpose-driven initiatives and even prouder to be taking on this challenge myself.

In just a few weeks, I’ll be attempting to swim across the English Channel, not just to test my limits, but to raise funds for the TAG Foundation TAG (Travel Assignment Group), which provides full bursaries and mentorship to underprivileged students at King Edward VII School.

Every kilometre swum is a step toward changing a child’s future.
Thank you to the Galetti team for your incredible support.

You can pledge here: https://lnkd.in/d4MFA9Rz

This September, Simon Wilkins, Galetti’s MD of Corporate Services, will attempt to swim across The English Channel – a 36-kilometre feat through icy, unpredictable waters with no assistance and no turning back.

Every kilometre Simon swims will help fund education for students through The Tag Foundation – a South African charity that provides full bursaries and long-term mentorship to talented young boys from disadvantaged backgrounds, giving them the chance to attend King Edward VII School.

Pledge an amount per kilometre swum (e.g. R10, R50, R100/km).
Pledges will only be collected after the swim, once Simon’s final distance is confirmed.
‍♂️ One swim. One future. Every Kilometer counts.

Help Simon hit his R500,000 goal and make every kilometre count. Pledge/donate here:https://lnkd.in/dwRh2xxq

Local Trends & Travel Tips for South Africa
Recent travel patterns show a strong shift toward tech-savvy, meaningful journeys – not just ticking boxes, but truly connecting with destinations. Popular travel publications with hashtag#toptraveltips
Tip 1: Choose experience-rich trips. Combine wildlife and beach in one itinerary — think Kruger Safari + KZN coast — for a richer journey
Tip 2: Book safari in winter (June–Sept) for easier wildlife viewing during dry season
Tip 3: Travel smart locally — ride the MyCiTi in Cape Town or the new Durban People Mover for seamless, safe city travel

Global Travel Trends & Advisory Highlights
Tip 4: Explore emerging hotspots – Vietnam, Mauritius, Sri Lanka and Japan show strong interest this summer
Tip 5: Stay informed on global safety – political tensions, like in Israel or Iran, often trigger key travel advisories and airspace changes
Tip 6: Practice mindful travel ~ the 2025 wave values slow, connected exploration like heritage tours and upskilling escapes

Mandela Day 2025 – A Heartfelt Thank You from the TAG Foundation

On this meaningful Mandela Day, we pause with deep appreciation and immense gratitude to thank you ~ our loyal sponsors, generous donors, steadfast friends and extended TAG family.

Because of your belief in our mission, 65 exceptional young people — 50 fine young men at King Edward VII School and 15 dynamic young women at Parktown High School for Girls – are pursuing their dreams through quality education. Supporting these future leaders is not only a privilege, it’s a purpose we carry with pride and unwavering resolve.

The Power of Community
Our TAG Foundation community continues to inspire us – not just today, but every day. You remind us that giving back, showing kindness and choosing hope over despair isn’t just possible — it’s powerful.

Our scholarship recipients — past and present — are the hope, the light, the dreamers and doers who prove that with opportunity and support, anything is possible. They are becoming change-makers, world-shakers and leaders of tomorrow.

To Our Partner Schools
To the remarkable leadership, staff, teachers, coaches, and parents of KES King Edward VII School (KES) and Parktown High School for Girls — thank you. You create not only institutions of excellence, but safe harbours of calm, growth and knowledge for young people navigating personal challenges and complex journeys. Your partnership means everything.

✨ What We’ve Built, Together!
From humble beginnings, the TAG Foundation has grown into a movement for good built on the backs of those who dared to believe in something bigger than themselves. As Jonathan Gerber, so powerfully says:
“We’ve grown from a small charitable foundation into a powerful force for good, made possible by an engaged community, committed schools and the brilliance of these young people. This is not just our story ~ this is the story of what South Africa can and should be.”

From the bottom of our hearts – thank you. Your support means the world.
Want to Learn More or Get Involved?
Join us in this movement of hope through education. If you’d like to know more or get involved, feel free to reach out to Senzo Mkhize, James Gerber, Joelene Roberts, Stephanie Grimbeek, Jonny or Traci.

Together, we are proof that:
“Community is the foundation of success.”

Happy Mandela Day, Taggers.
Let’s keep doing good, together.
