25 February 2011: Happy times on TravelPeople

If people watching is one of your favorite past times, then an airport is the best place to do it. It's interesting how often one can, just by looks, divide travelers into different categories: business people, tourists, families on holiday, honeymooners etc. All the different emotions experienced by travelers that are caught up in an airport building - now that is even more fascinating. Unless you are a carefree jet setter who spends more time in the air than on the ground, you will either be sad to say goodbye to someone, anxious about getting to your destination, stressing about your late check-in, happy to see your loved ones, or feeling guilty about leaving them behind. There are so many different emotions floating around in an airport building that, if you could bottle it and sell it, you'll make a fortune! The challenge of people watching is to determine which dominant emotion is being experienced by the person in observation. This of course is a great way to bide the time if your flight is delayed ... Which is why you are only receiving this week's news now! This week, http://www.travelpeople.co.za/ aims to evoke only the happiest of emotions!

Celebrate happy times on http://www.travelpeople.co.za/ by entering our very exciting COMPETITION where you stand the chance to win two nights for two people at the exquisite Belvidere Manor Hotel in Knynsa! The ideal place to rejuvenate your soul & re-focus your mind!

17 February 2011: TravelPeople and fame

Deep down most of us would love to be famous. If not for the public attention then for the luxury that fame brings. Having a celebrity life style, being recognized by the masses and generally living the high life all sounds terribly exciting. In our minds all that flash and bling often outshines our own perceived bleak and monotonous lives. Proof of this can be found in the many aspiring Idols contestants who truly believe that they have a rare talent ... But then it is probably better to try one's luck than to not explore your talents and reach for your dreams. So whether you are a modern day Fred Astaire, an aspiring Julia Roberts, or a Lady Gaga in the making - you owe it to yourself to try! And on http://www.travelpeople.co.za/ this week, there are many overnight sensations!

This week on http://www.travelpeople.co.za/ you can reach for the stars by entering our brand new COMPETITION where you and your partner could experience true peace & tranquility in the very romantic surroundings of Knysna's Belvidere Manor Hotel!

10 February 2011: TravelPeople and waiting

They say good things come to those who wait, but surely then there has to be some action before your start waiting. It's not just a matter of sitting back and waiting for the universe to work it's magic! That got me thinking about how much waiting we all do in our everyday lives. Waiting, waiting, waiting for the bus, or for that important phone call, waiting for the end of the month so we can get paid, or waiting for your partner to propose ... We are either waiting for something to happen as a result of an action we have taken, or we wait for something to happen before we take action. No matter how you look at it, waiting is an integral part of life. If you have done your bit to deserve your desired outcome, then don't get impatient and work up a sweat. Sit back and relax and let the universe work it's magic! On http://www.travelpeople.co.za/ this week, we don't keep you waiting - we just bring you the magic!

This is the last week you can enter the COMPETITION to win two magical nights for two with breakfast at the hip & happening Alpine Attitude Boutique Hotel! Remember: no action - no magic, so enter today!

3 February 2011: TravelPeople and time

I must be having lots of fun, because time is flying! Surely it could not have gone this quickly in the 1800's when one's days were spent milking cows, grounding flour to bake bread and generally performing duties to sustain yourself and your family? Time remains a mystery, but with every birthday it just seems to go faster - probably a sign of the times we live in! They say that if you need something done, to give it to a busy person. Maybe it's true, but it doesn't really sound very fair to me. Nevertheless, time plays an important role in everyone's lives and no-one is able to control it. The best we can do is to try and make the best of the fun times, and plan & prioritize so that we can fit everything in that needs to be done the rest of the time. Sounds quite simple hey? As time is of the essence though, this week http://www.travelpeople.co.za/ can save you a lot of it - at the click of a button, you can have it all! Now spend your time wisely ...

This week, take the time to enter our very exciting COMPETITION where you have the chance to win a two night stay with breakfast for you and a partner at the very slick and sexy Alpine Attitude Boutique Hotel! Surely you deserve to take some time out?
