Daniel

Product Manager

After leaving school Daniel went into the City but following Black Monday he set out on an odyssey to see the world. Having started diving at 10 with BSAC Abbey Wood, the Great Barrier Reef was his first taste of diving coral reefs and his world changed. Over the ensuing 8 years he mixed dive instruction and guiding with sampling some of the world’s great ski spots. Eventually the call of England’s sunny south coast became too great, so he combined his love of travel with a ‘proper job’. Working in Tour Operators from the UK’s largest long-haul operator to running his own activity travel organisor, most recently working for the world’s leading yacht charter company. Daniel is enjoying getting back to his roots and talking to real people about real holidays.

Marcus

Director

Ever since I can remember I have wanted to be on or under the water and so, combined with my passion for travel, I find myself in the perfect job! Since graduating I have traveled extensively around the world to include most of North, East and South Africa, many Mediterranean locations but only scratched the surface of Asia with a couple of trips to Bali…which was amazing. For the future I would like to see more of Asia and the western hemisphere. I have worked in the travel industry for almost 20 years now and I can’t imagine doing anything else. I love talking to clients about the places I have visited and sharing my passion for the sports. For me the most rewarding part of the job is being able to put all my experience and knowledge into providing an amazing tailor made tours for that special trip.

Matt

Sales manager

For a long time I have had a keen interest in travelling for both the sports opportunities and cultural experience. I started my career in sports travel, running a golf holiday tour operation and progressed to the more 'extreme' sports. I have had a interest in board sports for many years - skating, surfing, windsurfing and kiting. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to mix my job with my spare time pursuits. I have extensive knowledge of most of our destinations and look forward to increasing the amount of combination sports and tours we provide. My favourite part of the world is Vietnam and Thailand - I have been fortunate to travel to Europe, The Americas, Asia and Africa within my 10 years of working in the travel industry. I have a young family and have travelled with them extensively so can help with this part of trip planning.

Stuart

Senior Travel Organiser

After finishing college at the age of 19 I took a year out and went off to 'explore the world!' to find out what all the fuss was about! I love sports, action and adventure of any kind so it was no surprise to find out that some of my absolute favorite destinations include the India Ocean, South East Asia, South Africa, Australia & New Zealand! I've had the bug ever since and I'm constantly looking to try out a new destinations and experience new things - my next big trip might have to involve Borrocay in the Phillipines, home to some awesome kite surfing and apparantly 3 of the worlds top ten beaches! I think I need to confirm this for myself! Some of the best experiences I've ever had include Cage diving with sharks, bungee jumping off Bloukrans Bridge in South Africa, sailing around the Whitsunday Islands in Oz and recently running the Brighton Marathon (biggest personal achievement!) I started at Planet Travel in 2012 after working in the travel industry for over 10 years and now my day to day job involves sharing my experiences from around the world and creating the most exciting kite surf and windsurf holidays possible for our clients. I've even got a sea view from my desk. What's not to like?!
