The world is an amazing place, you should see it!
Some of my most memorable life moments have been while I've been away from home and on an adventure. I remember the colours of the local flowers and the sounds of the local birds. Little details can be as exciting as the big ones and stay with me always. I enjoy encouraging others to find adventure and fun!
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"Australia is a big playground filled with unique experiences some of them off the beaten track. I enjoy finding these and sharing them with visitors. Cycling is my thing, particularly Mountain Biking and adventure touring."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I would have to blame my parents, they laid the foundation.. as a young boy of 10 my parents packed up the family and moved us to Bogota, Columbia. The new sights and smells where amazing to me. Things were so different to Australia, I quickly developed friends that helped me explore and learn more about my new surroundings. After a time the family packed up again and we headed to the USA. When I came of age I hit the road and in my travels I have seen most of the USA, I've had adventures in England, the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Home is Australia though and I was drawn back.
A good friend who is a travel expert and who's travel adventures I had always admired, believed in me and encouraged me into the travel industry. I haven't looked back. Travel is good for the soul! "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"My favourite trip would have to be the time my wife and I took our two daughters, then aged 10 and 12 on a month long holiday. For 2 weeks we rode tandem bicycles down the east coast of Australia, riding, camping and exploring. We then packed up our bikes and explored Sydney, its South Coast and the Blue Mountains using Train, bus and hire car.
This time spent with my family was incredible!"
