This week, we dragged Oceania Cruises’ business development manager, Martine Nunes, away for a secret chat. Although that’s not to say we physically forced her.
The challenge for the industry is…
Demands, expectations, trends, the fast pace – today’s activity can, at times, already be history.
The things I like about my job…
All the fantastic people in our industry, our shared passion for travel, and who doesn’t like a holiday?
And the frustrations are…
Driving in Sydney traffic, wasted hours of the day.
If I didn’t work in travel I would be…
Kicking myself that I wasn’t.
Favourite airline?
Qantas for international flights; it’s great to hear an Aussie accent on the return flight home.
My proudest moment was…
Becoming a Mum.
The naughtiest thing I ever did was…
I’m a rules girl… “what goes on tour, stays on tour”.
I try to relax by…
I’m a parent with two young kids, ask me again in 10 years?
The last time I feared for my life was…
Sitting under a table amongst an earthquake in New Zealand.
If I can, I always try to avoid…
Being unorganised.
I really wish I had…
A helicopter to transport me around Sydney – I’d have qualilty hours to enjoy.
The best advice I’ve ever received was…
Always think of the present and future, yourself and those around you.
I don’t understand why people…
Can’t put a smile on their face.
My greatest weakness is…
I can get sea sick (go figure), but it doesn’t stop me from cruising!
And my greatest strength is…
Positive people around me
If I won a $1 million lottery (aside from travelling), I would…
Like most, pay off a mortgage and set my kids up for a head start in the future.
If I was prime minister I would…
Insist long term planning and common sense is enforced – abolish all the toe stepping and make sure election promises are delivered– procrastination costs everyone!
If I could be someone else for one day I would be a…
My kids – relive the brilliance of boundless energy, the innocence and fun of being a child.
I’ve always wanted to travel to…
Eygpt.
My favourite holiday was…
My first trip to Europe.
