The Dream Team

Tell us about your career in the travel industry...
At Innovative Travel, I have spent more than 20 years developing specialist product knowledge and creating travel experiences, while building strong, long-standing relationships with our tour operator partners across Egypt, Turkey, and CroisiEurope. These professional partnerships have evolved into genuine friendships, shaped through shared experiences and the inevitable highs and lows that come with both life and the travel industry. This depth of connection, combined with extensive first-hand destination knowledge, has become central to the way I approach travel planning and client experiences.
Earlier in my career, I worked with Tourism NSW before spending five years travelling the world as an overland driver-guide, tour leader, and diving instructor. I later spent another five years designing and implementing loyalty and incentive programmes for Leapfrog Group, followed by marketing roles promoting Borneo and Malaysia with Golden Holidays.
 

Nick's most interesting trip
Travelling through Syria and Lebanon prior to the Arab Spring and experiencing the contrast of culture and development between the two countries. Syria with its combination of a warm and welcoming culture, delicious food and amazing cultural and historic diversity, and Lebanon past and present with the glamour and glitter of the beaches. A trip never to be repeated – unfortunately true.

Top destinations
Sri Lanka
– landscape, wildlife, wellbeing and sensational food and culture
Egypt and Jordan – steeped in history – the birthplace and battleground of so much history and civilisations
Cambodia – beaches, food and the sense of watching a nation reborn
 

Nick's travel tips
Walk the streets of old cities early in the morning. This is when you discover the real city and what makes it tick. Search out the chatter as that is where the best coffee and breakfast can be found. Keep some change in your pocket; you never know when it will be handy.
