About Rod
My journey in the travel industry began with a deep-seated curiosity about different cultures, landscapes, and experiences. Over the years, I have transformed this curiosity into expertise, with over 12 years specializing in luxury travel, cruising, adventure tours, and bespoke itineraries. Whether it's a romantic getaway in the Cook Islands, a spectacular safari in Namibia, or a cultural experience through the countryside of Vietnam, I take pride in tailoring each trip to meet the unique desires and preferences of my clients.
At Trundle Travel, I am known for my meticulous attention to detail, creative itineraries, and exceptional customer service. I believe that travel is not just about the destination but about the memories and experiences that enrich our lives. My goal is to ensure that every journey I plan is seamless, enjoyable, and filled with extraordinary moments.
Beyond my professional role, I am an avid traveller myself, having explored an incredible 72 countries across 6 continents. I have also lived and worked in Edinburgh, Michigan, and Toronto. This personal experience allows me to provide firsthand insights and recommendations that money can't buy. My trusted clients love hearing my knowledge and up-to-date experiences to guide them to new and different destinations through my honest and direct approach.
When I'm not planning the next great adventure for my clients, you can find me chilling at the beach, exploring hidden gems in NSW on day trips looking to snap that perfect photo on my Samsung, sampling the incredible Asian street food scene, or simply cooking up a feast for dinner guests while sharing a good laugh over a glass of fine champagne.
Previous experience
During my 12-year tenure at Flight Centre Travel Group, I honed my skills in customer service, strategic planning, team leadership, and meticulous organization. As the manager of three stores in the Inner West of Sydney, I gained the knowledge and experience to build and connect with my clients through my open and witty personality. Working for such a well-known brand provided me the opportunity to create and value all types of travel. I believe that every person deserves the chance to live their own dream through travel.
