We’re always talking about travel here at Global Work & Travel! We are obsessed with the thrill of exploring this world which is why there is nothing better than helping our Global Travellers make their travel dreams come true too. We’re in love with seeing the world, just like you.

So, we rounded up some of our team from our Australian Global Headquarters to share their worldly adventures that will hopefully inspire you to explore even more!

Where is your favourite place in the world? This has always been an extremely hard question to answer, as once you've travelled a lot, you learn that nowhere is like you imagined, and everywhere has something to love about it. If I absolutely had to choose one place (like right now), I would first gravitate towards London. (Despite the reputation of being cold and wet, it makes sunny days even better, and the 10 pm sunset in summer is hands down awesome.)
Describe it: London is full of culture, beautiful architecture, great food and even better nightlife. It's an adult's playground where you can literally do whatever you feel like, any time of day.

Why you love it? It's the doorway to Europe which is easily accessible and affordable for quick weekend getaways to experience anything you feel like at the time. 
Favourite memory: When the sun comes out, you can't get much better than the rooftop parties across the city in summer, overlooking the entire London.

Where is your favourite place in the world? Ahh um... Koh Rong!
Describe it: It's like the movie The Beach, it's basically that! You're living like Leonardo DiCaprio. It's tropical, sublime, adventurous and simple.


Why you love it? Why?... because I felt like I was Leo in The Beach. It was more beautiful and magical than any other place I could have imagined.
Favourite memory: Skinny-dipping with 20 other backpackers under a full moon, surrounded by glowing plankton.

Where is your favourite place in the world? In the world, that I've been? I'd probably have to say Los Island in Greece, probably because I'm a party gal.
Describe it: Insane, so basically it's a party island full of travellers, letting loose and having fun! It's welcoming, adventurous and rural.


Why you love it? Because there are no rules, no restrictions. You can do whatever you want and you become somewhat nocturnal.
Favourite memory: I was there for a week and the whole thing is one big memory! Going to Pathos, a mansion bar on a cliff, overlooking the ocean at sunset.

Where is your favourite place in the world? Ahh... Ecuador!
Describe it: Uh I'm under pressure...um, are you writing down my ums? Unique! What's another word for outdoors? Adventurous! I don't know how to describe it, it's the best of both worlds. Wow, & welcoming.

Why you love it? I guess because it's not the typical destination. It's got all different areas. The Amazon, volcanoes, the beaches and the Galapagos Islands.  
Favourite memory: Diving with hammerhead sharks! Wait, can I have more than one?! Sitting on an off-cliff swing while the volcano was erupting.

Where is your favourite place in the world? Rio de Janeiro 
Describe it: Culture, music, food & the people!


Why you love it? You feel this fulfilling and positive energy as soon as you are there.  
Favourite memory: Listening to Samba music in Lapa! Also, watching the sunrise at Arpoador Rock! You have to see it.

Where is your favourite place in the world? This is a hard one...there are so many... PRAGUE!
Describe it: It’s beautiful, traditional, social and has everything!


Why do you love it? It has so much freedom, you can wake up at 3am if you want to go get a 3-course meal and a cheap beer (everything is ridiculously cheap) or you can find yourself going down a flight of stairs to find one of the underground bunkers from the Soviet days turned into a funky club or nightclub going off.


Favourite memory? Too many... the Vltava River and Charles Bridge, a white christmas and the sunsets. It’s beautiful. Make sure you check out Harley's bar in old town!

Where is your favourite place in the world? New York City
Describe it: Mesmerising, upbeat atmosphere, fast and beautiful!


Why do you love it? There is always something to do, always something to see. You can eat, drink or be entertained at any time of the day or night! Cream cheese bagels and oh my god, street truck Halal!! There just isn't any place quite like it, it takes hold of you.
Favourite memory? Reuniting with my best friend, sitting on her rooftop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with a bottle of wine overlooking the Manhattan skyline in the freezing negatives!

Why you love it? It’s just so beautiful. There is so much to do, it has a huge history. I feel like it gets overlooked, but, it is amazing!
Favourite memory: Eating the freshest oysters I’ve had in my whole life and they were so cheap too, right by the river overlooking the Parliament House.

Where is your favourite place in the world?  Vancouver/Whistler… I can have them both, right?
Describe it: 
Wilderness, fashion - Canadians are awesome, oh and food!

Why you love it? I like cities so I loved Vancouver, everything is just so pretty.

Snowboarding for the first time because it was a new experience and being able to come in after a big day on the slopes and chill with a beer at the Apres.
