Graduated with a BBus from what was Mitchell CAE (now called CSU) in Bathurst way back when...
Spent five years doing the backpacker thing in South America. I speak fluent Spanish and conversational Portuguese.
In 1998 established Colourful Trips, a tour operator based in Sydney targeting the international youth market.
In February 2017 purchased a tour brand called Zepher Tours which runs day trips to the Hunter Valley.
In 2020 started another brand called Colourful Collective Travel, delivering multi day trips in NSW focusing on wine, food and nature.
As of 2025, all tours/experiences are under Colourful Collective Travel and we're developing some amazing experiences to the Central West, given I live and work remotely in regional NSW (Bathurst). I still visit Sydney for work where the business has the bigger footprint. .
