“The real way to happiness is by giving out happiness to other people”

BADEN POWELL

I am passionate about travel and believe that it is the World’s best education!

I started travelling as boy scout at the age of 11. My first trip was to New Zealand for a Jamboree and haven’t stopped, I have travelled every year since!

There is nothing more satisfying to know you have created a cherished memory for you and your loved ones they will remember forever.

I love organising group trips to destinations with lots of extras from my friends on the ground. Some of the trips I have organised and hosted are:

  • USA: including behind the scenes Disneyworld
  • Maldives:Two different islands, swimming with Mantas
  • Sri Lanka:Safari trip to Yala National Park to see the leopards
  • Japan:including Harry Potter World, Cherry Blossoms, Skiing & Hot Spring Resorts.
  • Philippines:Beach resort with the kids, priceless
  • Thailand:Golf Tours, Foodie Tours, Theme parks and Islands
  • Taiwan:Pandas and Mountains
  • Singapore:Universal Studios, Gardens by the Bay and lots of nature
  • South Africa:Big 5 luxury Safari and inside knowledge of Capetown.
  • Vietnam:From top to bottom including boat cruises in Halong Bay, Lattern’s at UNESCO town of Hoi An, Cu Chi Tunnels and much more.

What is your preferred travel style?

Did you know that most people have a definite style? My role is to understand yours, whether it be hotel, tour, cruise etc and ensure your style is throughout your plans.

Do you love city stays vs romantic getaways, river vs ocean cruising, adventure vs flop and drop beach resorts, or special interest or luxury travel?

At Destinations by Shane, I would love the opportunity to work with you, and by understanding your style and preferences, coordinate your next amazing itinerary.

"Travel opens your heart, broadens your mind and fills your life with stories to tell."

I can help you!
Ticket to LifeI am the Director of Ticket to Life Australia, a not-for-profit that looks after a group of about 80 disadvantaged children in Manila Philippines. Every year we invite friends and interested families to attend an annual trip where we make sure these kids have the time of their lives and do things they couldn’t normally dream about doing. It is so satisfying to help and know that we are making a difference. The motto for this group is “Anything is Possible”.
Leave No TraceI am also a Leave No Trace Master Educator. Leave No Trace is an organization that teaches people how to use and look after the environment based out of Colorado and endorsed by Governments around the World including ours. I am passionate about the environment and run overseas trips for Aussies to learn about the environment while having a great time.
We also look after a Turtle sanctuary in Lombok that we travel to each December and invite up to 60 Australians to attend to assist the sanctuary while enjoying everything Lombok has to offer and completing their Leave No Trace environmental certificates at a very discounted price.
