With over 50 countries visited and a passion for travel, it was finally time in 2014 to make the big move down under! The booming economy and the Aussie lifestyle were huge factors in my decision. I started out in Sydney and then jumped at the chance to travel the East Coast for 2 weeks. I loved Queensland and it’s feel of real Australia, that 2 weeks turned into nearly 2 years travelling and working along the East Coast as a travel agent for 2 of the biggest adventure travel companies in Australia, mainly located in Noosa and Brisbane.
It gave me the opportunity to travel around Australia and New Zealand, hitting up the best spots and learning about each location and those off the beaten track. I then returned to Queensland after a camper van roadie like no other in New Zealand, a stay in Melbourne, somehow completing my 88 days of farm-work after bombing around northern Oz looking for a last minute job with only 92 days left on my visa, travelling through the bush and seeing the golden sands and turquoise waters throughout Australia.
I’ve luckily been the only travel agent ever to work for two of the biggest competing travel agencies in Australia at the exact same time, it’s a long story!! With a dream travel job in the paradise town of Noosa, life was good. Offering advice and guidance from my own personal travel experience down under to fellow backpackers was extremely rewarding and exciting.
Managing a high street, big branded travel agency was an amazing experience but under their rules and I didn’t see my future there. I found an aggressive salesman-like environment in the industry, which made me lose my love for all I had encountered in my previous years. I learned that customers were being sent on trips that weren’t suited for them, but tailored to that agencies preferences instead, just for a quick buck!
