Ah Sonia, I will miss you, your coffee machine and our times at FITUR in Madrid. I hope we stay in touch. Lots of love (from 2 metres away). xx

You will be missed my friend. Thank you for always being approachable and sharing your incredible knowledge with all of us when it comes to selling South Africa. I know that our paths will cross again real soon. Wishing you all the best!

I will remember our wonderful Latin America trips under the Thompsons Africa banner. Good luck and Godspeed Sonia. I am more than sure we will cross paths again in this wonderful industry.

Sonia se te extrañará mucho en la industria, esperemos poder tenerte de regreso muy pronto, pues eres una excelente profesional. Te deseamos mucho éxito en tu próxima aventura laboral y ojalá que coincidamos pronto.

Dear Sonia, i had the opportunity to work with you in a group from overseas and you were exceptionally professional. The way you took care of the clients and their needs was outstanding and they still remember their visit to South Africa. I am sure you will be soon back in the industry and even stronger as the capacity you have to work with people is priceless. I wish you all the best and i am sure you will succeed in everything you take in your hands. Until soon... very soon!

Mi querida Sonia, no me puedo imaginar regresar al trabajo y que tu no estes ahi, has sido una gran compañera de trabajo, mi consejera, mi metntora en todos los años que he estado en Thompsons. Has sido un gran ejemplo a seguir para mi, la manera en que luchas por lo que quieres con esa pasion que pones en todo, sobre todo tu trabajo. Sé que vas a sobresalir en cualquier cosa que hagas después de esto.

Todo lo mejor querida Sonia!! Sos una gran profesional, asique no tengo dudas que lo nuevo que emprendas sera con mucho exito!

You will be so missed. This is a huge loss for Thompsons Africa. I wish you the very best. You will be great at whatever you choose to do.
Buona fortuna e un grande abbraccio xx

Todos los mejores deseos en esta nueva etapa de tu vida, no tengo ninguna duda que encontraras el éxito en cualquier cosa que hagas ya que siempre le pones todo el corazón a cada proyecto que emprendes. 🤗

All the best Sonia, I have no doubt you will succeed in all you do! You have been a great colleague and a friend, I will miss our constructive and sometimes heated ideological debates - I know your heart is the right place. Keep flying SA flag 🇿🇦

Dear Sonia what a devasting loss for Thompsons. Your energy, passion and dedication selling our Beautiful South Africa has touched so many of us in the Tourism industry. You have turned business into lasting friendships built on sinceretiy and dedication. May your star rise rapidly and shine brightly as you embark on your new journey in Tourism. I have faith that your sequel will be even better than the last. Wishing you success, prosperity and happiness my friend.

Hope to see your passion shine back again in the tourism industry soon.
