Top Travel Tip: For me, one of my top planning tips is to give yourself some down time in your itinerary – some of the most magical moments I’ve experienced is when you have the time to just ‘be’ in a destination.

Favourite Destinations: India, Southern Africa, Jordan, Peru, New Zealand, Italy.
Bucket List Destinations: Japan, Borneo, Vietnam, Costa Rica, Tanzania, Cuba.
Top Travel Tip: Ask your guide where they like to eat when they go out. Otherwise, they might only recommend places that cater only to the Western palette, i.e. tourist traps. Try new and strange things; even if you don’t like it, you won’t regret the experience. And if you visit Petra or the Taj Mahal, make sure you are the first one there in the morning!

Regional Sales Manager (NSW/ACT)
Favourite Destinations: France, home to the 3 C’s: champagne, cheese & croissants. What’s not to love? Queenstown. The most stunning scenery I have ever experienced. A destination which I would love to go back to, thankfully it is a short flight from Sydney.
Bucket List Destinations: I love visiting off-the-beaten-path destinations when I travel, so Mongolia is definitely up there for me. I would love to stay in a yurt and watch the wild Mongolian horses run free across the desert plains.
Top Travel Tip: Travel as far and as wide as you can, life is not meant to be lived in one place.

Regional Sales Manager (QLD/WA/NT)
Favourite Destinations: Having so far ticked off 64 countries, there are so many favs for different reasons! Egypt for history, Peru for culture, Philippines for beaches, Canada for scenery and Cambodia for its people.
Bucket List Destinations: Africa, Sri Lanka, Cuba, Morocco, India, Iceland.
Top Travel Tip: Whenever travelling I always take a travel powerboard so that I can easily recharge phones/watches/cameras/computer etc simultaneously. Packing cells are my saviour whilst travelling ( trust me, if you haven’t used them they are lifechanging!), and I always try to pack clothes that don’t require ironing! I also try to learn a few words of the local language in the destination of travel, and find that it’s often an icebreaker with the locals who often laugh at my terrible pronunciation but appreciate the effort.

Regional Sales Manager (SA/WA/NT)
Favourite Destinations: All of Italy; Scandinavia; Greece; Southern & Eastern Africa; Japan; Vietnam; the Cook Islands; North East USA & Western Canada; Ireland, Scotland & Wales; New Zealand and Antarctica; the Kimberley & Tasmania
Bucket List Destinations: Sardinia; Malta; Orkney Islands; Equador & Galapagos Islands; Uganda & Rwanda; Eastern Canada; Alaska (Cruise & Land); South Korea; Raja Ampat Marine Park in Indonesia; Central America & Cuba; Peru; Brazil; Argentina; South Georgia and Shetland Islands
Top Travel Tip: I “treat myself” when I travel and, (as I have very thick hair), once a week, wherever I am in the world, I have my hair washed and blow-dried. It’s an hour with a local, often using Google Translate when require, and usually a cultural experience as different hairdressers use different techniques and products in different countries. I’ve had many great conversations and memorable experiences over the years and sometimes, I’ve even returned to the same stylist years later. Less products and tools to carry in my luggage means less stress and overall, it’s a relaxing interaction.

Director of Sales (Asia)
Favourite Destinations: Kyoto - home to 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Strolling the paths and wandering through the tranquil gardens is the best part of the experience to discover the old and new . Immerse yourself in living history by staying at a traditional ryokan inn. Just love the cherry blossom season in Kyoto. And don't forget to try the Japanese sweets, especially their famous Uji matcha if you have a sweet tooth. Morocco - busy medinas, intricate architecture, and a unique combination of cultural influences make Morocco unlike anywhere else on the planet. Whether you're traveling to bustling Marrakech, pretty coastal cities, or remote desert towns (or hopefully, all three), a trip to Morocco is bound to be one to remember.
Bucket List Destinations: African Safari- seeing majestic animals like lions, elephants, and rhinos in the wild is a dream. Greece - from the whitewashed homes of Santorini to the Ios party scene to the relaxing atmosphere of Milos, there's a perfect holiday for me.
Top Travel Tip: Explore your destination from the perspective of a local. Food is the key to the heart of any destination and be adventurous to try the local authentic dishes
