Favourite Travel Memory: When I was 12 years old, my parents and some family friends took a trip to Egypt. At that time, you were able to get very close to the Sphinx and in fact climb deep inside the Great Pyramids, up the narrow staircase inside. That incredible experience triggered a lifelong travel journey that I'm still on today.

Kieran Greenhow
Senior Program Specialist

Favourite Travel Memory: I spent 5 years living in Hawaii and I was fortunate to have a job organising tours to all of the amazing Hawaiian islands. One fond memory I have is a tour to the summit of Mount Mauna Kea for lunar eclipse. Listening to a very well known Australian astronomer provide commentary from the top of the highest mountain in Hawaii on a perfectly crystal clear night was a surreal experience that I will never forget.

Alastaire McLaren-Rowe
Program Consultant

Favourite Travel Memory: I have lots of fond memories from travelling and wouldn’t say I have a total favourite. If I had to pick though, a standout was a fjord cruise just outside Bergen in Norway. The weather was perfect and the scenery out of this world.

Giuseppe Bono
Program Consultant

Favourite Travel Memory: Too hard to just pick one: Having lunch with my family at the Musée d'Orsay Café in Paris. Sleeping under the stars on the rooftop terrace of Café du Sud in Merzouga, Moroccan Sahara. Enjoying the sea breeze on the Cliffs of Aran, Ireland. Sharing freshly baked bread and honey with a Kalashi tribe family in Northwest Pakistan.

Daniela Pervan
Team Lead & Senior Operations Specialist

Favourite Travel Memory: I got to experience one of my bucket list items whilst in Lapland Finland in 2020 when I got to watch the amazing and wondrous Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) dance across the clear night sky in all its brilliant colours.

Mari Miwa
Operations Specialist

Favourite Travel Memory: Having a piece of Sachertorte and a coffee at a warm cafe in Vienna when it was snowing outside during the month of February.

Maree Calderone
Operations Specialist

Favourite Travel Memory: Seeing the Collosseum for the first time – how big it is as well as how well preserved it is considering its age.

Lisa Hawi
Operations Specialist

Favourite Travel Memory: Cruising down the Santorini coast in an ATV (for the first time ever) and travelling through neighbouring towns where I was able to ride alongside the locals. Also - being in awe as I watched the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen.

Kayla Russell
Operations Specialist

Favourite Travel Memory: My favourite travel memory would be catching the cable car to the top of Mount Pilatus in Switzerland. The combination of the stunning views from Mount Pilatus and the winter scenery in Lucerne. There's something truly special about witnessing the beauty of nature from such heights, especially with the snow-capped mountains and picturesque landscapes that Switzerland is known for.

Hayley Farrugia
Account and Business Development Manager

Favourite Travel Memory: It is hard to choose just one favourite travel memory so I am going to go with a more recent one, travelling to New York City with my family for me to run the NYC Marathon. The marathon itself was an amazing experience and having my family waiting for me on First Avenue to cheer me on was a big highlight for me.

Teena Marra
Operations Coordinator

Favourite Travel Memory: My favourite place, other than Hong Kong for shopping, would have to be Tasmania, especially Port Arthur. Such a traumatic history, but one of the most beautiful and amazingly atmospheric locations. I am hoping to experience the places my ancestors called home, and eventually get back to Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Norway, and Iceland.

Joel Asaad
Operations Coordinator

Favourite Travel Memory: My highlight was travelling around the world with my family - late nights on the Las Vegas strip and Rome (well that stole my heart).

Anita Raiti
Marketing Coordinator

Favourite Travel Memory: My very first trip overseas was also my first trip without my family. So daunting! A few days in London before we started a long tour of Europe and then some down time in Positano. Seeing everything in person after seeing it all in pictures for so many years was breathtaking.
