		VOYTEK LASEK For almost all of the 26 years since emigrating from Poland, Voytek has been involved in the Australian travel sector. He's witnessed some huge industry changes in that time and has travelled to over 30 countries, including a one-year term with the UN in Vienna and five years living and working in Papua New Guinea. Voytek is the manager and one of the two directors of the company. He holds an Associate Diploma in Travel and Tourism. In addition to arranging thousands of travel itineraries, he has escorted tours involving elephant treks in northern Thailand, windsurfing in Fiji, trekking to Machu Picchu and discovering ancient monuments and forgotten sights in China. Voytek also loves train travel ... in Japan, France, Germany, New Zealand, everywhere. His favourite idea of a working holiday is escorting locomotive enthusiasts to the world's last steam frontiers, like Poland, where he's already conducted five such tours since 1999.
REBECCA CREIGHTON Most of us dislike long flights, but Rebecca loves nothing more than watching movies or reading a travel novel on those long hauls ... along with a glass of wine, of course. Clearly, Rebecca loves travelling! The first 3 of her 10 years in the travel sector were spent as a senior travel advisor for Qantas, the following 7 years as a consultant in specialist travel agencies. In her own travels, a love of animals has seen her include visits to animal rehabilitation sanctuaries in Asia and to contribute via offshore volunteer work. She loves getting off the beaten track and watch the real local world go by but she's still attracted to her favourite big cities like Hong Kong, Vancouver and New York. A veteran of travel all over the world, Rebecca still loves having barbeques with her family but also adores taking courses at cooking school in Thailand.
		JEANETTE LASEK Now a mother of three, Jeanette first tasted international travel at the age of 15 on a trip to Europe. Today, it's not only a passion but an important career for her. Early on, she completed a degree in Teaching then travelled to Europe and Asia for several years. After meeting Voytek, she lived in Papua New Guinea for 3 years but on return to Australia, made a successful and big career change to Merchant Banking. Jeanette also holds a Diploma of Fitness which she combines to great effect with her love of travelling, particularly adventure travel. She believes in providing clients with a great travel experience "from the first conversation to their return home". Jeanette is one of the two directors of the company.
