Michelle

I’m Michelle and I believe that we spend too long dreaming about holidays that go onto our bucket list.

Travel is my passion and whether you are 8 or 80, everyone has places in the world they want to travel to.

I have a bucket list, as most people do, and yes, life is short and the world is large, so we should make the time to tick these places off our list.

I love my job; I liken it to working in a candy store. Every day I get excited about where people want to go, and I love creating that dream for them so that it can become a reality.

Whether it is a flight to Sydney, flop and drop at a tropical island or a round-the-world holiday, I can arrange them all. At Bucket List Travel I strive to make those holiday dreams a reality!  I also handle any corporate travel and group travel!

Susan

Hello, I’m Susan, and I’m excited to help you create unforgettable travel experiences!

Originally from Sri Lanka, I moved to Toronto at 19, then Melbourne at 21, and I’ve called Orewa on the beautiful Coast home for the past 31 years. Along with my husband and three wonderful sons, we’ve been fortunate to explore the world—from climbing Mt Kilimanjaro and running the New York Marathon to cruising through Halong Bay.

Travel is a passion that has shaped my life, and I can’t wait to help you check off your own bucket list adventures!

Ashley

Hi, I’m Ash! I’m the one behind your itineraries and travel documentation, as well as social media and marketing at Bucket List Travel.

While I’m pretty new to the travel industry, I’ve always had a love for travel and experiencing other cultures. I’ve visited 16 countries so far, with many more destinations in the upcoming plans.

My favourite travel experience so far was definitely getting within metres of lions, zebras, rhinos, giraffes and meerkats on safari in Africa!

I love putting together your itineraries and look forward to helping with your next adventure.

Ruba

Hello, my name is Ruba, and I’m the Head of Security at Bucket List Travel.

I’m a 7-year-old Cavoodle who takes my responsibilities very seriously. My duties include greeting visitors, supervising the office, and eating treats.

When I’m not hard at work, I enjoy travelling to the beach.

So if you visit Bucket List Travel, don’t be surprised if I’m the first one to welcome you through the door.

P.S. If you’re not a dog person, I totally understand (to be honest, I’m not much of a dog person myself). If you’d prefer a dog-free visit, just let my Mum know and I’ll happily take an early lunch break outside.

Don’t just take our word for it…
