What do you love about working at Globetrotter:
I love working at Globetrotter Travel because of the incredible people I get to work with every day. Everyone here shares a passion for travel and adventure. No two days are ever the same. Travel is unpredictable, especially in today’s world, and that constant variety keeps things exciting and dynamic.

Your professional expertise: I specialise in Marketing and Brand Management. Before I entered the marketing world, I was a Graphic Designer. Combining my knowledge from both roles has allowed me to think creatively and strategically which I love.

What is your favourite destination and why: Perched on a hilltop, more than 365 meters above the Mediterranean is Ravello. It is the hidden treasure of the Amalfi Coast and is one of the most beautiful places I have been. Imagine enchanted castles and gardens in the sky, its magical.

What are you passionate about or inspired by: I’m inspired by people who aren’t afraid to give things a crack. Those who embrace the duality of their interests and careers, whether it’s learning a new language, picking up a new craft, or pushing their limits with physical feats. It’s inspiring when people step out of their comfort zones to challenge themselves.

Top travel tip: I think the late Anthony Bourdain said it best, “Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been.”

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: No two days are the same!

Your professional expertise: I have several years’ experience as a travel agent and in the events industry, blending my passion of creating remarkable experiences and making memories in incredible destinations.

What is your favourite destination and why: Italy: the food, the fashion, the people, the culture… what is not to like?!

What are you passionate about or inspired by: Seems a bit cliché but I am passionate about travelling! I really do enjoy experiencing a new way of life, seeing the sights and going off the beaten track, eating cultural cuisines, and exploring new destinations! When I do journey back home though, it does make me appreciate just how lucky I am.

Top travel tip: Don’t underestimate a hop-on/hop-off bus pass in key destination cities. They are a great cost-effective way to get around and see hot tourist sights, with most having the added bonus of an audio guide giving you some context of what you are seeing and where you are.

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: Globetrotter has made me feel so welcome and I love making our clients travel dreams come to life.

Your professional expertise: I started my travel career in New Zealand when I was 19. I love creating interesting itineraries with a lot of moving parts including flights, trains, cruises, and incredible hotels. I specialise in multi generational family holidays, honeymoons and being from NZ I love sending travellers there.

What is your favourite destination and why: Sicily is one of my favorite destinations, and you may be wondering why. I love Sicily because of the culture, the place, the food, and also for personal reasons. When I was 16 I spent a year completing a student exchange there and I have many found memories from that time.

What are you passionate about or inspired by: I am passionate about history, art and style, especially interior design and fashion. This blends nicely into travel as I love finding the perfect hotel to match the client’s taste, seeing a Broadway show or visiting a world renowned museum.

Top travel tip: Never eat in a touristy area or near a tourist attraction. As a general rule, I walk three blocks in either direction before I find a place to eat. The closer you are to tourist attractions the more you are going to pay and the worse the food (and service). If its full of locals then you are onto a winner!

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: Walking into a new office can be daunting, a new environment, new faces, new technology. However, when I stepped into Globetrotter’s office for the first time it wasn’t the same as others. I instantly felt welcomed. Never have I seen such great community and team spirit, nor have I ever dwelled in such a friendly workplace which is why I love my job.

Your professional expertise: I’ve been immersed in the world of travel for more than 30 years. My passion for the industry is extensive and why I have thrived in such an excellent trade for such a long period of time. I have been lucky enough to travel to all corners of the world and meet a variety of people that I’ve loved to connect and bond with.

What is your favourite destination and why: Japan! Why? Simple, from the bustling sleepless megacities to the quiet, reserved shrines and temples in the picturesque countryside, Japan has everything. The food, the culture, the people, no country is quite like it!

What are you passionate about or inspired by: My passion is travel. I have enjoyed travelling the world, from the breathtaking historical streets of London to the futuristic city of Singapore. Travel opens your horizons and allows you to see and experience other cultures and sights firsthand. This is a driving factor for me as I want to ensure that my clients have the best opportunity to experience and immerse themselves in their destination.

Top travel tip: While on holiday… MAKE SURE TO TAKE PHOTOS! Photos are one of the only way you can remember a destination and even though it might be a burden to take that photo, it will eventually hold precious memories for you and loved ones looking back at it.

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: The culture! Globetrotter is a very positive, supportive and productive environment which I feel grateful to be a part of.

Your professional expertise: I’ve been fortunate to spend nearly 30 years in the travel industry, primarily in the distribution and IT sectors. Throughout my career, I’ve held various roles, with a strong focus on Product Management and Customer Success. My experience has been centered around developing and delivering innovative products and solutions tailored to customer needs.

What is your favourite destination and why: I’ve been incredibly fortunate to travel to many amazing places around the world, and honestly, picking just one favourite destination is nearly impossible! Every city and country has its own unique charm, culture, and unforgettable experiences. From bustling cities to beautiful beaches and landscapes, each place offers something special that makes it stand out. Whether it’s the food, the people, or the history, every destination whether in Australia or Internationally I have visited has left a lasting impression in its own way.

What are you passionate about or inspired by: Bringing projects to life—understanding needs, shaping solutions, and seeing a product in action. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching an idea evolve into something that makes a difference for others. On a personal level, my greatest inspiration comes from my family, witnessing the incredible journey of my two beautiful daughters as they continue to grow, learn, and shape their own futures.

Top travel tip: Research your destination ahead of time to plan what you want to see and do, but don’t be afraid to wander off the beaten path. Immerse yourself in the local culture, and embrace the unexpected—sometimes, getting a little lost leads to the most unforgettable hidden gems!

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: Every day is different. I love the people I work with, they regularly surprise and delight me with their camaraderie, attitude, professionalism and passion to succeed. It has been great to see the business grow and our people develop.

Your professional expertise: I have a strong hospitality background having previously been Business Development Manager and Rooms Division Manager at two of Perth’s leading 5 star Hotels. Within the travel industry I have held the role of National Account Manager for Woodside and State Manager and Regional Manager for Carlson Wagonlit Travel before joining Globetrotter as Managing Director in 2010.

What is your favourite destination and why: I just loved bare boating in the Whitsundays. It was a wonderfully relaxing way to see the islands and sailing on the tropical waters was a unique experience. The beaches were stunning, the clear turquoise water provided great snorkelling opportunities, exploring the many islands was fun and enjoying a delicious dinner with indisputably some of the best views in the world was sensational. I have never felt so relaxed, it truly was a carefree holiday in paradise.

What are you passionate about or inspired by: I am inspired when surrounded by people who are authentic and care about doing what is right. People who are prepared to give things a go and aim to be the very best they can be also inspire me. My personal passion is travel and I just love being in a different environment.

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: The team, their passion and creativity. The thought process that they give to creating memorable events and incentives for their clients is admirable.

Your professional expertise: I’ve been working in the events industry for over 20 years from hotels and hospitality to an in-house professional conference organiser.

The cozy pubs, live music, and friendly locals make it such a fun and beautiful place to visit. It truly will enchant you with its charm and diversity.

Worth a special mention is K’gari. There is so much to explore – its ancient sand dunes, long stretches of beautiful beaches, crystal clear freshwater lakes and lush rainforests. You’ll need access to a 4WD!

What are you passionate about or inspired by: New adventures whether at home or abroad. Oh, and music, I love live music!

Top travel tip: Make a list on what to pack and tick it off as you go! And… don’t forget to pack dry shampoo, it’s a winner!

The cozy pubs, live music, and friendly locals make it such a fun and beautiful place to visit. It truly will enchant you with its charm and diversity.

Worth a special mention is K’gari. There is so much to explore – its ancient sand dunes, long stretches of beautiful beaches, crystal clear freshwater lakes and lush rainforests. You’ll need access to a 4WD!

What are you passionate about or inspired by: New adventures whether at home or abroad. Oh, and music, I love live music!

Top travel tip: Make a list on what to pack and tick it off as you go! And… don’t forget to pack dry shampoo, it’s a winner!

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: Globetrotter has always been a caring & inclusive workplace which has attracted the most passionate & dedicated people in the industry. When you see our product delivered with such fervour, belief and wisdom, you can’t help but be proud…its infectious.

Your professional expertise: I’ve been around the travel industry since I was young, enjoying a variety of roles from the technical/systems side to client facing and management. I’ve also worked in other industries and overseas. It’s given me a well-rounded view of the industry and a variety of tools in my bag to help solve the challenges clients face in the fast-paced, 24/7 business that is travel management. In particular, I love complex analysis and developing solutions that efficiently address issues in a real-world setting. Small changes can make big differences.

What is your favourite destination and why: Indonesia. Born there. Love the food and people but try to avoid the more touristed parts (…but I still love Bali).

What are you passionate about or inspired by: When things work quietly and efficiently it makes me buzz. Big account wins and sensational change projects are also great…but when things are working seamlessly and reliably with minimal invention…it’s a thing of beauty. Of course, market/supplier/industry changes eventually intervene, and you work hard to bring everything back to a productive equilibrium.

Top travel tip: I always bring noise cancelling headphones on any flight over 2 hours. It makes inflight entertainment a joy and helps getting to sleep on those long-haul flights. They’re not expensive to buy these days (I can’t speak for the earbud and small headphone versions). I invested in a full ear covering, top-of-the-line pair. I only use then on flights (not for general use) and they’re still going after 10 years!

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: I love the company culture that allows and promotes free and easy communication with all different teams which I believe is the vital element in any thriving organisation.

Your professional expertise: I worked some 20 plus years with a few airlines including SWISS and Lufthansa and six years in other TMCs before joining Globetrotter. Fares & Ticketing has always been my area of expertise and I also enjoyed Load Control (balancing aircraft) and Customer Relations in airline sector.

What is your favourite destination and why: I love Singapore where you can taste cultural diversity in a small but clean country, not having to travel long distances to experience different things. Another favourite place is Kaprun Zell am See in Austria, a heaven for summer skiers.

What are you passionate about or inspired by: I like the word ‘improvement’. I think I feel more value when something can be improved from what it is rather than it is replaced by a new thing. It may be a piece of furniture, a work process or even the way you think.

Top travel tip: Make sure you pack your important items such as documents, laptop, some handy clothes etc in carry-on bags and always expect the unexpected! It will give you peace of mind and let you focus more on the journey itself.

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: The warm and friendly atmosphere. I have been given an overwhelming amount of support in my role from my immediate team and other divisions. The culture here is one that you feel connected to everyone in their respective role, the open-door policy is actually real.

Your professional expertise: More than 25 years in the travel industry with experience in Business Development, Client Partnerships, Commercial and Contract Management, and Project Management. Have enjoyed a variety of industry segments, from Inbound Sales & Marketing, Retail & Wholesale and since 2010 in Corporate Travel Management.

What is your favourite destination and why: Africa – Rwanda to see the mountain Gorillas. I was spoilt and given my number 1 bucket list experience for a milestone birthday. Spending the day with a family of mountain Gorillas in Rwanda is unforgettable in many ways. Breaking the “stay 4 metres away” rule almost immediately, the up close (at times frightening) experience of a Silverback and mother with two disobedient babies, gave us pinch yourself moments and incredible memories. The work and tireless effort of the locals and army to protect the future numbers of the Gorillas is inspiring. The cultural history, landscape, people and sites of Rwanda you experience just making your way to the Gorillas stands alone as a trip in itself.

What are you passionate about or inspired by: It’s the simple things. I guess you could say I’m passionate about ensuring I take a breath and enjoy what I have in its simplest form. That I stop and enjoy the luxuries the Monday to Friday effort has provided me with the ones I love. I’m also blessed to have my partner who inspires me to take the risks and explore the challenges. Keeps my head out of the clouds and feet on the ground LOL!

Top travel tip: My Mum always had a jar of Vicks in her handbag. It was her go to solution for everything, “just put Vicks on it, you’ll be fine”. When I travel, I always have Vicks in my carry-on. Takes care of any nasty smells on an aircraft (you know the ones), takes the sting, and itch out of an insect bit, and makes a great go to lip gloss! – Thanks Mum!

Your professional expertise: More than 25 years in the travel industry with experience in Business Development, Client Partnerships, Commercial and Contract Management, and Project Management. Have enjoyed a variety of industry segments, from Inbound Sales & Marketing, Retail & Wholesale and since 2010 in Corporate Travel Management.

What is your favourite destination and why: Africa – Rwanda to see the mountain Gorillas. I was spoilt and given my number 1 bucket list experience for a milestone birthday. Spending the day with a family of mountain Gorillas in Rwanda is unforgettable in many ways. Breaking the “stay 4 metres away” rule almost immediately, the up close (at times frightening) experience of a Silverback and mother with two disobedient babies, gave us pinch yourself moments and incredible memories. The work and tireless effort of the locals and army to protect the future numbers of the Gorillas is inspiring. The cultural history, landscape, people and sites of Rwanda you experience just making your way to the Gorillas stands alone as a trip in itself.

What are you passionate about or inspired by: It’s the simple things. I guess you could say I’m passionate about ensuring I take a breath and enjoy what I have in its simplest form. That I stop and enjoy the luxuries the Monday to Friday effort has provided me with the ones I love. I’m also blessed to have my partner who inspires me to take the risks and explore the challenges. Keeps my head out of the clouds and feet on the ground LOL!

Top travel tip: My Mum always had a jar of Vicks in her handbag. It was her go to solution for everything, “just put Vicks on it, you’ll be fine”. When I travel, I always have Vicks in my carry-on. Takes care of any nasty smells on an aircraft (you know the ones), takes the sting, and itch out of an insect bit, and makes a great go to lip gloss! – Thanks Mum!

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: I love working in a team environment. Everyone is always happy to assist and share their knowledge. The office has a great vibe and culture, and I enjoy coming to work every day. It is very rewarding assisting clients with their arrangements and being a part of their travel experience.

Your professional expertise: I have been servicing the travelling public for over 25 years. I started with Thomas Cook in Toronto Canada. Since then, I have worked in New Zealand and now in Perth in a retail capacity. I bring my knowledge, enthusiasm, inquisitiveness, attention to detail and puzzle solving skills to the Lifestyle Team.

What is your favourite destination and why: There are so many wonderful destinations that I have experienced, so it is hard to choose. India, with its vibrant colours, noisy streets, amazing food and history with inspirational people. The Caribbean, as every island is a little bit different. Puerto Rico is my favourite island for its beautiful beaches, forts, rain forests and a variety of rums.  Sailing on bare boat charters in the British Virgin Islands, Thailand, French Polynesia and Tonga is definitely at the top of the list.

What are you passionate about or inspired by: I am passionate about traveling with my family and friends. There is nothing better than sharing experiences in different cities with the people you love. Making new memories always inspires me.

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: There is always an opportunity to learn new things.

Your professional expertise: After graduating with a Bachelor of Business from Curtin University, I took 6 months off to bicycle around the USA and Canada. During this time someone suggested Travel as a career, and I have been involved in the travel industry in a variety of roles for most of my working life.

What is your favourite destination and why: I don’t really have a favourite. I have been fortunate to travel to a lot of interesting places and there are still so many more places that I want to visit, so I guess I am still travelling in search of that one destination that will make me forsake all others.

What are you passionate about or inspired by: Passionate people because their enthusiasm inspires me to try new things, grow as a person and find new passions.

Top travel tip: Travel light – I have managed to get everything into a carry-on bag. For me the convenience of not having to check luggage and being able to catch public transport far outweighs the fact that it looks like I am wearing the same clothes in all of my photos.

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: Everyone has years of experience and knowledge and the knowledge is shared. We work well as a team

Your professional expertise: I have been in the industry for 21 years and my passion is cruising. In 2019 and 2023, I was in Viking’s top 10 agents in Australia and in 2023 I was a Virtuoso Cruise Icon, celebrating the top 1% of cruise agents in the World.  I am also a CLIA Cruise Master.

What is your favourite destination and why: My favourite destinations are Voss in Norway and Svalbard. Everyone goes to Norway for Bergen, Oslo, Tromso or a cruise through the fjords. Voss is a destination that reminds me of Busselton (where my grandparents lived) when I was a child, with a beautiful lake, an old church and the lovely parallel streets. I was lucky to host a group to Svalbard in 2018 in the middle of winter, we got to dog sled and snow mobile and stayed in the old Coal Miners cabins. It was a very unique experience and something I reminisce about regularly. I also love any city with a Disney Theme Park close by.

What are you passionate about or inspired by: I love reading and my favourite books are biographies. I love going past the surface of the person that we may see on our screens or listen to their music and seeing what makes them tick. There are some great stories out there.  I also love craft, colour and interior design and have completed an industry ready floristry course.

Top travel tip: When packing for your trip, using packing cubes. The reduce the space in your suitcase and leaves space for the shopping and souveniers from your trip.  Also live like a local, there are some great experiences out there off the tourist tracks

What are you passionate about or inspired by: I am passionate about creating travel experiences and enjoyable moments.

Top travel tip: I always recommend clients double check their travel documents and the visa requirements for the country they are travelling to. This includes the airlines baggage allowances as well as meals and seating requests.

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: I love the people. Everyone is friendly, supportive, and focused on providing excellent customer service. The company culture makes me feel welcomed, valued, and part of a team that genuinely cares, which motivates me to give my best every day.

 

Your professional expertise: I have worked in customer service since my first year of university, starting in hospitality before moving into corporate travel in 2010. I enjoy creating well-planned and detailed travel itineraries, as well as finding the best airfare options for my clients. Helping clients travel smoothly and stress-free is something I take great pride in.

 

What is your favourite destination and why: It’s hard to choose because I love exploring new places, but if I had to pick one, it would be Shanghai. It is a vibrant and modern city that has retained much of its traditional Chinese culture. The food is incredible, and even with over 25 million people, it never feels crowded. I am fascinated by the city’s urban planning and energy.

 

What are you passionate about or inspired by: I am inspired by people who support and encourage others. I am also passionate about interior design and enjoy spending my spare time watching design videos to keep up with trends.

 

Top travel tip: Take some time to read about the place you are visiting and learn a few basic words in the local language. It can make a big difference when you need assistance from locals and helps you feel more connected to the destination.

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: The people! The amazing humans I get to work with inspire me daily. I’m very fortunate to be part of a rock star team full of industry, professional and overall life knowledge. I love walking through the door to the office every day and being greeted with warm hellos.

Your professional expertise: I have a wide range of experience, from a Corporate Consultant to Airline Reservations and Ticketing and a few Business Development/Customer Manager roles in different travel industry fields. All which serve me very well in my current role at GCT.

What is your favourite destination and why: The Mediterranean. There’s just something about Mediterranean living – relaxing by the beach in Italy, Greece…… having an afternoon siesta, eating fabulously fresh and delicious food, staying out at incredible restaurants, bars, and clubs till late – just to repeat it all again the very next day. It’s bliss.

What are you passionate about or inspired by: Connection. I’m genuinely passionate about connecting with people and connecting clients with the right experience, offering or solution to serve their needs/requirements.

Top travel tip: Pack a compact/foldable bag in your carry-on and maybe even a second one in your checked luggage (the Longchamp Le Pliage Travel bag is my go-to for this). It comes in handy if you’re like me and tend to buy too much when travelling overseas or purchase some items at duty free or during your time in transit at the airport.

Your professional expertise: I started in the travel industry in 1996 with roles ranging from retail, leisure and corporate travel management.

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: I am proud to be working for a thriving organisation with such a strong customer focus who really offers a point of difference in the industry.

Your professional expertise: I have worked in IT for most of my working life and in the travel industry since 2011. Previously worked in various roles in retail, ISP, corporate and government but have found my preferred calling at Globetrotter.

What is your favourite destination and why: Japan! It is interesting to see the many ways they have embraced western culture into their own by putting their own unique spin on it and I really love the ingenuity and thought they put into the everyday things. It is a beautiful country with friendly people who have a rich history, amazing historic structures and in my opinion the best cuisine. So much to see in such a relatively small country and you can just hop on a shinkansen and see it all.

What are you passionate about or inspired by: These days it is definitely my family and all the wonderful adventures of parenthood… with a dash mixed in now and then of the occasional track day and living vicariously by following Formula 1 and V8 Supercars during the season.

Top travel tip: Always carry photocopies of your ID and passport separate to your hand luggage…and it also pays to have an emergency poncho on hand.

What do you love about working at Globetrotter: Globetrotter is truly a fantastic place to work. Every day, I’m surrounded by talented, passionate people with diverse skills and inspiring backgrounds. The culture here makes coming to work not just enjoyable but genuinely fulfilling.

Your professional expertise: I’ve worked in the travel and tourism industry for 18 years, starting as a leisure travel consultant before moving through roles in management, aviation, and wholesale. Now, as a Corporate Partnerships Manager at Globetrotter, I get to collaborate with a wide range of industries and companies, which has expanded my knowledge far beyond travel. For me, this role is about more than just travel, it’s about connections and the incredible people I meet every day.

What is your favourite destination and why: After 18 years in the travel industry, I’m often asked to choose a favourite destination, and it never gets easier, because travel has given me so many unforgettable experiences. But if I had to choose, it would be Africa. There’s something truly magical about it, the warmth of the people, the richness of the culture, the flavours of the food, the breathtaking wildlife, and the deep sense of history that stays with you long after you leave. You might arrive with expectations, but Africa surpasses them in ways you can’t imagine. It’s a place that touches your soul, one everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.

What are you passionate about or inspired by :I’m passionate about people, creativity, and connection, the things that truly make life meaningful. For me, it’s never just about the destination, but the stories, experiences, and relationships that shape each journey. I’m inspired by how travel brings people together, opens minds, and sparks curiosity. One of the things I love most about what I do is meeting people from all walks of life and hearing their stories, every conversation teaches me something new and deepens my appreciation for the world around me. I’m constantly learning from the incredible people and industries I work with, finding new perspectives and inspiration well beyond travel itself. At the heart of it all, what drives me is connection, creating experiences, building trust, and leaving something meaningful and positive wherever I go.

Top travel tip: Slow down and be present. Don’t rush from one attraction to the next, the magic of travel is often found in the quiet moments, the unexpected conversations, and the people you meet along the way.
