Having explored parts of Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, it's hard for Jen to pinpoint a favourite destination. Some of her favourite travel memories include Hot Air Ballooning and Game Viewing in the Maasai Mara, marvelling at the sheer size of Abu Simbel and the Great Pyramids of Giza, and snorkelling with seals and reef sharks in and around the beautiful waters of the Galapagos Islands. Lifelong memories that will last forever.

Over 30 years ago, Nicky caught the 'travel bug' and after all this time, she still enjoys the variety of what she does. No two days are the same! 

Living in China for three years, Nicky was captivated by the richness and diversity of the Chinese culture. She found that the country had so much to offer, from the hustle and bustle of Shanghai to the magnificence of the Great Wall. 

Nicky has enjoyed being a part of the Bunnik Tours team since 2022, as she believes her personal experience melds well with the Bunnik philosophy and destinations. Nicky has travelled to 43 different countries, and is still counting! She is always updating her travel knowledge through regular travel.

For her there’s nothing more fulfilling than traveling and being able to interact with and learn from different people, cultures and environments. She can’t even imagine her life without the next travel adventure planned, that’s why she’s been to more than 60 countries and the 7 continents!

Bucket list? Really hard to say, the list just gets longer… and it doesn’t include only new places, many of the ones she has already been are back in the list. For sure, a never-ending story.

My love for travel was ignited back in 2004 when I relocated to Tanzania. Living in the charming city of Arusha, nestled in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, I immersed myself in the travel industry, where I have accumulated 16 years of invaluable experience across various roles. This professional journey has not only fuelled my passion for travel but also equipped me with a deep understanding of the industry. This experience inspired me to start checking off destinations from my personal bucket list, leading me to explore numerous countries across Africa, Europe, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Asia, and Australia.

Growing up in Dubai, I had the unique opportunity to interact with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. This experience cultivated in me a deep appreciation for understanding different traditions and beliefs, making me more passionately interested in the rich cultures around the world.

In my leisure hours, you'll often find me hiking and taking long strolls in nature, spending quality time with my family as we explore new destinations together, savouring culinary delights at new eateries, and immersing myself in the world of books.

Her favourite destinations are Canada and Scotland, followed very closely by Egypt, Jordan, Iceland, and Turkey. She has now set foot on 6 of 7 continents, with a current total of 41 countries visited. Antarctica is high on the list of places to visit next, to cross that final continent off the list, as well as Southern and Eastern Africa.

Somewhat ironically, given she married into a family that travels A LOT, Julie chooses her trips carefully because flying and jetlag are not her favourite things. Having said that, she's been extremely fortunate to have seen some incredible places over the years with Dennis and their two sons Austin and Jamie and she looks forward to seeing many more. Upcoming plans include  Istanbul, Bucharest and Sophia which will add to her country count (although, unlike her husband and brother-in-law, she's never actually added them up).

She has travelled to India numerous times and mostly to the same spot in the north of the country as part of her heart resides there and she would love to spend more time in Scotland walking in the rain. Julie practices yoga each day and her attempts at meditation keep her grounded and happy, oh and her 2 black cavoodles, Marshall and Mallee.

Julie has been with Bunnik Tours since 2010.
