Hi, I’m Andrew Morten, the founder of TravelEssence. I was born in New Zealand and have been at the forefront of unique travel through Australia and New Zealand for almost 30 years. TravelEssence gives you the chance to experience the Down Under I fell in love with as a wide-eyed and free-spirited child.

After living in Australia and New Zealand for the best part of four years, one thing that really stuck with me was the close relationship many Aussies and New Zealanders have with the outdoors.

Having called Australia home for three incredible years and spent a year living in stunning New Zealand, I've developed a deep connection with the land down under.

Brooke

For me, New Zealand will always be home. I was lucky enough to grow up on Waiheke Island in New Zealand, where I spent the first 30 years of my life exploring what this beautiful country has to offer. As I travel and see more of the world, I realize just how truly unique and special New Zealand is.

When I moved to Europe in 2016, I became a part of the TravelEssence team as the Product Manager.
