MEET OUR TEAM

ON ROADS LESS TRAVELLED

Rhonda Paice, Managing Director

My areas of expertise:

I have visited over 60 countries and there are even more places on my list.

I have slept under a thousand stars in the deserts of Jordan and under the ceilings of five-star hotels.

I have ballooned over the Serengeti, Valley of the Kings and Cappadocia, climbed Machu Picchu and the Great Wall of China, trekked with the Gorilla and Chimpanzee in Uganda and sailed along the great rivers of Europe.

I have been to Africa 7 times, and I have more trips planned.  

I love trains, and I have travelled on some of the most spectacular and luxurious trains in the world.

My next planned holiday: 

Japan and the Trans-Siberian from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg. 

I can't wait to experience Sumo wrestling.

My favourite travel memory:

Keeping the story of Father Christmas alive by taking my three grandchildren to visit him at his home in the north pole, Rovaniemi, Finland.

Also advising my daughter not to get sucked into buying a carpet in Turkey and then walking out the shop with one myself!

Something I can't travel without:

My sense of adventure and my red stilettos for dancing.

Cyndi Briggs, Travel Consultant

My areas of expertise:

I have visited 42 countries so far, and like my fellow travellers, there is an ever-growing wishlist.

I have toured the UK and Europe, reaching as far east as Bulgaria and Romania, with Transylvania being a highlight.

I love South-East Asia, with my favourite places being Borneo, Cambodia and Laos. Sri Lanka is also a firm favourite. China was my last trip before the Covid outbreak/travel drought, and the Maldives was my first trip after lockdown.

I have recently returned to Vietnam for a second visit followed by cruising Japan and jungle trekking in Sumatra.

Shout-out to my parents for our extensive Australian road trips when I was young, which triggered off my love of travel.
 

My next planned holiday: 

India, finally!

In my lifetime, I hope to see Morocco, Nepal, East Africa, South and Central America and Antarctica. My ultimate bucket list also includes Zanzibar and Timbuktu. 

My favourite travel memory:

Being chased by angry monkeys in the jungles of Borneo.

Finding the 'Eat, Pray, Love' fortune teller's house in Ubud and having my fortune read by Ketut's son.

Diving straight into the lagoon from our Maldives overwater bungalow.

It's hard to pick my favourite memories though, as I'm easy to please and I love every experience for what it is.

Something you can't travel without:

A multiple USB plug to charge the many devices all at once, and my new love, the 'Turtl' pillow that supports my neck and stops me from snoring on the plane!
