Our Team

Jennifer joined the Bunnik Tours family back in 2005 and has recently returned to her role as Sales Team Manager after some time off raising her two beautiful children. Jen loves to travel to places where she can fully immerse herself and experience the local way of life. Hot air ballooning in the wilderness of the Maasai Mara, snorkelling through the marine wonderland of the Galapagos Islands, and devouring delicious curries in India, were absolute highlights! According to Jen, the best things to take with you when you travel is a decent camera and an open mind! Next on the bucket list: Enjoying some sunshine to relax in Fiji with her beautiful family.

Abbie’s passion for travel started young, as she was lucky enough to travel and live overseas with her family. After completing her Bachelor of International Tourism at Flinders University, Abbie lived in Thailand for 3 years and the United Kingdom for 2 years before joining the Bunnik family. Abbie has travelled to over 40 countries and next on the bucket list is setting foot in Antarctica and hiking to sit with the gorillas in Rwanda – both dream destinations she would love to experience with her husband and new born son.

When Abbie is not enjoying the wonders of the world or working hard in the office, she enjoys sightseeing in her beautiful home state - lazing on the beach with a good book or sipping a few glasses of Vino between the vines in McLaren Vale.  

Honi has a strong passion for travel and has worked in the industry for over 17 years.  Having travelled to over 40 countries and stepped foot on all 7 continents, a few of her many travel highlights are hiking the Inca Trail in Peru, riding into the sunset in the Moroccan Sahara and camping under the stars in Antarctica.  She still has the travel bug and the next places on her wish-list include Mexico, Cuba, East Africa, Russia, Iceland and the 5-Stans.
  
When at home, Honi loves hiking and keeping fit, studying Spanish, good food and wine, and spending time with her very spoilt dog.

When she is not in the office or travelling the world, you will find Kaya cheering on Port Power at Adelaide Oval, in the kitchen baking, or curled up with a good book or the latest Netflix series. 

Nick has enjoyed over 10 years in the travel industry, more than half of which have been with Bunnik Tours. Although having travelled to South America, parts of Asia, the Middle East, New Zealand, Canada and the USA, Nick’s adventures have barely scratched the surface of his continuously growing ‘travel wishlist’. Nick loves any opportunity to sample weird and wonderful food when travelling, from pigeon in Egypt to stingray in Malaysia, and of course guinea pig in Peru - however he drew the line at tarantulas in Cambodia!

Aside from travel, Nick also enjoys playing and watching all kinds of sports, in particular Soccer (go Middlesbrough!), Football (go Crows!), and Ice Hockey (go Avalanche!). Nick’s other passions include cooking, watching superhero movies, and playing board games with his family and friends.

Osney discovered his enthusiasm for travel when he was handling MICE travel for 6 years before he joined Bunnik in 2018. Having ticked off some of his bucket-list items, such as climbing the magnificent Great Wall of China, experiencing New Years Eve in Marina Bay Sands and spending his wedding anniversary in Burj Khalifa. Osney has Hallstatt and Vienna in Austria next on his bucket-list due to his deep interest in palaces and classical music.

Wandering through misty tea plantations, admiring the beauty of Ella in his home country is his favourite. Thailand is like his second home, having visited for the last 8 years! Apart from his love of travelling, he enjoys painting, gardening and is a huge fan of contemporary dance!

Paul first joined the Bunnik team in September 2019 after working within the travel industry with Escape Travel since 2014. His love for travel began when he was 16 in the year 2000 having travelled to the USA with his family. He clearly recalls eating pizza on the 110th floor of the World Trade Centre in New York City and getting a cheeky photo trying to jump off the top. He has travelled through much of Europe, USA, Canada, South East Asia and South Pacific. Next on his bucket list is Egypt & Jordan.

When Paul isn’t travelling, and he travels as much as he can, he spends his time singing and playing the keys at various gigs around town. He is part of an acoustic vocal duo called ‘Tusk!’ and a cover band called ‘Got You Covered’. He loves to keep active and a morning jog before work is essential to his day. However, he tends to balance this with a nice glass of red wine at the end of the day. He loves a chat about anything from footy to books and music, so please say Hi.

Purnima joined Bunnik Tours in January of 2018 with 4 years’ experience in the travel industry, and has found the Bunnik way to be a totally different experience. As a child, she travelled frequently with her family to destinations including Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong, and also has wonderful memories travelling around South Sri Lanka. Purnima also loved the chance to join a Bunnik Tour of Sri Lanka where she met some wonderful clients and was able to tick Sigiriya off her bucket list. 

Purnima counts herself as a foodie and loves experiencing different cuisines and visiting the latest cafes and food outlets in town! She’ll often road trip down south to Hikkaduwa on the weekend to spend time relaxing on the beach with friends. During her free time, she can also be found spending time with family or cuddling her cats! Some of her bucket list destinations include Australia, Mexico and Greece just to name a few!

Tom discovered his passion for all things travel upon joining the industry in 2010, before then becoming part of the Bunnik Tours family in 2019. Tom’s favourite holiday destination would be somewhere where he can laze all day on the beach. He has so far managed to tick destinations in the USA, Europe, Middle East and Asia off of his list. Right at the top of Tom’s bucket list is spending Christmas in New York City and experiencing an African safari!

When not in the office, Tom enjoys spending his time hiking with his adorable dogs Nate and Luna, catching a movie or a bite to eat with friends and getting stuck into a good book!

Victoria started at Bunnik Tours as part of the Retail Team in 2010. During her time at Bunnik Tours she has worked in most departments, but always finds herself back in the Sales Team, selling the Bunnik dream!

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 finds travel to be a little unsettling. 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 Athens, Istanbul, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan 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. Julie would love to spend more time in Scotland walking in the rain. Julie practices yoga each day and attempts at meditation keep her grounded and happy, oh and her 2 dogs, Marshall and Mallee.
