I am a passionate traveller and explorer. You've probably heard this before, but the reality is that my life has been designed around my passion for travel. I have never worked a full-time job in my life, as that would restrict my travels. Since my university days I have been in business and designed my business operations in a way that ensures I have plenty of time to travel both in and around Australia, as well as other parts of the world. Today, I am the owner of a Melbourne based tour operation, and am able to earn an income from my passion. I design each and every tour from the perspective of a tourist, incorporating elements which make the tours interesting, innovative and unique. I tend to focus on beautiful locations which are not known by the general public, allowing my guests to experience something different, yet exciting and unexpected. For example, I have possibly the best Great Ocean Road tour on the market. I cover more locations that others in the same amount of time. This is simply because we start later avoiding the traffic, and do the loop in the opposite direction. The hour or so saved on driving allows that hour to be spent on two additional locations. Simple, yet effective! My passion for travel, exploration and sharing these experiences in reflected in my approach to my guests and the tours themselves - never rushed and always informative and entertaining. Apart from travel, I am passionate about business and commerce. I have a business consultancy firm in Australia as well as a cleaning and personal services business in Poland. I spend time on self development learning practical skills such as website design, graphic design, film editing and other skills which can be applied in a business setting. At nights I am often seen in parks and beaches around Melbourne metal detecting and treasure hunting. In fact, I am an experienced international treasure hunter where I take my metal detecting equipment with me on my international travels. In the past I invested in shares and options, being a level 4 options trader. In more recent years I have taken my investment funds and used them to invest in Australian souvenirs and gifts which I wholesale and export to Europe.

If you have a group of 4, consider your comfort tolerance levels. I can source a 7, 9, 10 or 12 seater vehicle, as needed.

A comprehensive nature tour - sun, sand, wild animals, nature walks and bush. Experience each of these in this 6 hour nature extravaganza which includes interaction with native Australian animals. This tour will take you to the Mornington Peninsula, which is a region that satisfies even the most discernible traveller. However, the issue with the Mornington Peninsula for most tourists is the difficulty in getting there. With very limited public transport and the need to travel more than 70km from the Melbourne CBD, it makes sense to partner with me to experience and appreciate this great region. I have selected the Moonlit Sanctuary as the place to take guests due it the sanctuary not being as commercial and mass marketed as others in Victoria. Interaction between human and animal is better here and often it is not a very crowded place. The default start time for this tour is 11am, however, since this is a private tour it is possible to alter start times according you your preference.
A luxury, air-conditioned, leather seated vehicle will transport you to 5 locations which you will get to explore with plenty of opportunities to take photos and enjoy the amazing characteristics of each location. The highlight of the tour is a visit to the Moonlit Sanctuary, a sanctuary for many Australian animals. You will be picked up by your personal driver and guide from a mutually agreed location and chauffeured along the scenic tourist route stopping for a photo shoot at Victoria's most photographed beach - Dendy St Beach. The Moonlit Sanctuary, our first stop on the Mornington Peninsula, is where you interact with a wide variety of Australian animals. In the lush, green, high end of the Mornington Peninsula you will ride the scenic chairlift before enjoying an Australian style picnic dinner in a bush setting. After dinner a short bushwalk will help to burn some calories before heading back home to Melbourne via the freeway.
