ABOUT US At World Journeys our mission is simple: we design journeys that we, as travellers, would undertake ourselves. In our youth, we travelled the world on a budget, arriving into cities late at night with nothing pre-arranged, battling through bureaucracy and language barriers to prove we could do it on our own. In later years we found, like many, that we had less time to travel, let alone the luxury of having time to plan our travel. That’s what inspires World Journeys today. We plan journeys so you don’t have to. Itineraries are crafted on our personal knowledge and experience. We are travel aficionados: we have worked in the industry for over 30 years, and we still travel regularly to be able to bring new and exciting opportunities to the market. We won’t stop travelling: not only is it our passion, it is our job to provide the very best level of service and knowledge. In fact, we generally won’t sell a destination unless someone from our team has been there. ANGELA PIRIE With a background in group travel logistics and product research, Ange is dedicated to ensuring that your journey is personalised and consistently exceeds expectations. Travelling to inspiring destinations, testing amazing accommodation, and having life-changing experiences rate highly. A few of Ange’s highlights are hot air ballooning over the Serengeti, swimming with dolphins in Zanzibar, and on a recent trip to Myanmar, e-biking around the temples of Bagan. CHRIS LYONS The ‘veteran’ of the organisation, Chris started his travelling career in the mid 1970’s, spending over a year travelling Central and South America, a part of the world for which he has a real passion, and a region he returns to regularly. Fascinated with history and archaeology, Chris has delighted in exploring historical treasures including Angkor Wat, Machu Picchu, and the Persepolis ruins. Many years of hosting tours means Chris has a real understanding of the needs of every traveller. BRETT BARCLAY With nearly 30 years in travel, Brett has visited over 100 countries but the bucket list keeps growing! Highlights include being in the Rio Carnival, exploring West Africa, and being immersed in Japanese culture in ryokans (traditional inns). Brett is an avid cruiser, a rail buff, and a huge fan of family travel (as his son can testify!). Latest adventures include Ethiopia, “One of the most fascinating countries I have ever been to”, an expedition cruise to Antarctica, and meeting the mountain gorillas of Uganda. KATE COULING With a 12 month OE that somehow stretched out to 12 years, Kate has a particular passion for the history, people, and culture of North Africa and the Middle East, even choosing to live in the region long enough to learn Arabic. However, she is equally content getting lost in the lanes and alleys of Venice Island or Saint-Germain-des-Pres, chatting to child monks in Bhutan, or staring transfixed at the moai on Easter Island. If travel is a bug, Kate is delighted to have caught it. 2
TAILOR-MADE TRAVEL Here we showcase journeys to some of the most exciting, fascinating and exotic places on earth. They are our personal suggestions of what to do, what to see and where to stay. We know travellers value flexibility so we generally have no set departure dates, and itineraries are not regimented: journeys can be tailor-made to suit your needs. We offer professional planning and expert knowledge, working with you to create your dream trip. Our backup services take the stress out of travel; if your flight is delayed or transport doesn’t show, we’ll sort out the arrangements. STAR RATINGS We consider a variety of criteria in our selection of accommodation, including location, style, ambience, comfort, service, and facilities.
