This week, the general manager of Six Senses Fiji spills the beans on the time he was chased by a hyena and gave his boss a schnitzel made of cardboard. We assume the two are unrelated.
The challenge for the industry is…
A reduction in the number of flights in and out of Fiji, external political impact and an increase in last-minute holidays/changes to holiday plans by consumers.
The things I like about my job are…
The freedom. I love helping others have a fabulous time and I am very lucky to live in exclusive paradise destinations.
And the frustrations are…
Not enough ice cream for me!
If I didn’t work in travel, I would be…
A veterinarian or a pilot.
My favourite airline is…
Qatar.
My proudest moment was…
I once volunteered at a retirement home for Christmas and NY. It was incredible to help other people and share special moments with them. I was proud of the time I spent there.
The naughtiest thing I ever did was…
I made a schnitzel out of a cardboard box and gave it to my old general manager!
I try to relax by…
Going to the gym, walking, swimming and diving.
The last time I feared for my life was…
Being chased by a hyena in Namibia!
If I can, I always try to avoid…
Gossip.
I really wish I had…
More holiday time for myself.
The best advice I’ve ever received was…
If you want something done, do it yourself.
I don’t understand why people…
Don’t invest more time and energy into protecting the environment.
My greatest weakness is…
Food.
And my greatest strength is…
I am a very positive and happy person.
If I won a $1 million lottery (aside from travelling), I would…
Go back to school and study aviation.
If I was prime minister, I would…
Try to unite nations.
If I could be someone else for one day, I would be…
Usain Bolt on the day of a 100-metre sprint final.
I’ve always wanted to travel to…
Greenland.
My favourite holiday was…
Skeleton Coast, Namibia.
