← Back to the rate cardWho I Am
Forty years in travel and IT. Eighty-four countries. One network, built and run in-house.
Xactavent (Pty) Ltd started in 2003 as Anytime Media and Events and became Xactavent in 2018. I am the sole owner, and I still do the work myself — the design, the writing, the photography, the interviews, the apps and the code behind them.
I present and produce radio, publish digital magazines and catalogues through Flipmagz, run the Life is a Beach podcast, build mobile apps, and distribute the whole bookshelf by email every month. Along the way I have covered Uganda for the Uganda Tourism Board, driven brand building for Velvet Sky Aviation, and worked with Mango Airlines, Liberty Life and tourism boards across Africa.
Anytime Media is a member of ATTA, the African Travel & Tourism Association.
