Jarien was born and grew up in the country’s capital, Windhoek. She’s from a close-knit family who loves to spend quality time together by hitting the road and exploring the country. That’s how she came to know Namibia so well and also how she fell in love with travel.
After completing her matric by homeschooling she moved to Swakopmund on the coast, where Jarien started waitressing at a local restaurant. It wasn’t for long though, a chance meeting with Edward saw her quickly become a part of the team at NTS. Right place. Right time and Jarien fits right in. Makes sense since she loves Namibia and travel as much as the rest of us.
With Jarien, what you see is what you get. She’s down to earth and easily one of the nicest people you’ll meet. You can be sure she’s dotted all the i’s and crossed all the t’s when it comes to your travel plans. She’s thorough. This combined with her knowledge and expertise equals an unforgettable holiday guaranteed.
Jarien loves the lure of luxury lodges but not more than camping. She’d rather give up the extra comforts for the experience of being close to nature or out beneath Namibia’s dark night skies with nothing else around for miles. There’s place for both though, so a combo tour is best in her opinion.
Jarien has seamlessly transitioned from her role as a travel expert to become a valuable Fleet Assistant at our Windhoek branch. With her extensive background in travel and customer service, Jarien brings a wealth of knowledge and a keen eye for detail to her new role. Her understanding of client needs and operational efficiency ensures that our fleet operations run smoothly and our vehicles are always ready to deliver exceptional travel experiences. Jarien's dedication and adaptability make her an indispensable part of our team, contributing to the seamless execution of our services and ensuring customer satisfaction remains at the heart of everything we do.
