Connecting the World: How travSIM Simplifies Global Communication

PHILOSOPHY

"Umuntu Ngumuntu Ngabantu" - a powerful South African proverb that means "a person is a person through other persons." It’s rooted in the Ubuntu philosophy, which celebrates the idea that we’re all connected. It reflects a fundamental belief in the universal bond of sharing and compassion that connects all humanity, highlighting that we are better together.

This worldview emphasizes the interconnectedness of all individuals within society and the universe, like one big global family. It reminds us that our strength and happiness comes from sharing, caring, and supporting each other across society and the world.

At travSIM, we live and breathe this Ubuntu spirit. We believe that connectivity isn’t just about technology — it’s about building bridges, nurturing communities (digitally and in real life) and bringing people closer, no matter where they are in the world. This instinctual sense of unity goes way back and it continues to inspire us to create reliable, effortless communication solutions that keep everyone connected, globally.

We believe that staying connected and communicating smoothly should be possible anywhere in the world. That’s why we are dedicated to providing reliable global connectivity solutions for everyone.

CEO

Meet Marcel: The Visionary Who Turned a Dorm Room Dream into a Global Travel Connectivity Revolution

Our dynamic CEO, Marcel Scheifhacken, launched his entrepreneurial journey from the most unlikely place, a cozy college dorm room at a small university in Zweibrücken, Germany. Studying Digital IT, he quickly saw that international travel shouldn’t come with the nightmare of unreliable, overpriced connectivity. Blending his tech prowess with his adventurous spirit, Marcel set out to change the game with smarter, wallet-friendly SIM cards that ditch the headaches of patchy networks and outrageous charges.

As Marcel traveled across continents, he faced the typical connectivity chaos firsthand; bad network coverage, sky-high data bills, and customer support that left him frustrated. Sound familiar? Those moments can turn a fun trip into a stressful mess in seconds.

"When I travel, the last thing I want is to run out of data or not be able to make a call, that’s a total recipe for frustration," Marcel shares. ‘Whether sealing deals or sharing family moments, staying connected is non-negotiable’

Driven by his own travel struggles and a fierce desire to make life easier for adventurers everywhere, Marcel launched travSIM in 2014. His mission? Provide travelers with reliable, hassle-free internet and call options worldwide so they can explore fearlessly, without worrying about hidden fees or dead zones.

"We know what it’s like to travel worry-free. Our services are designed for fast activation, solid coverage, and prices that make sense," Marcel explains. "So you can focus on creating memories, discovering new places, and staying connected with loved ones, wherever your journey takes you."

Today, Marcel and his talented crew are revolutionizing travel connectivity, empowering thousands of globetrotters to explore with confidence. His inspiring story proves that with passion, persistence, and a arduous problem-solving mindset, a small idea can ignite a global movement.
