Hendrik-Jan

Hello, my name is Hendrik-Jan and I joined the enthusiastic team, of TravelEssence as a travel specialist in 2011. For years, travelling has played a big role in all areas of my life.

"The variety that both countries offer, the tranquillity, the overwhelming nature, but most of all, the friendly and relaxed people - everything in Australia and New Zealand appeals to me."

A few years ago, after my graduation, I made a long journey through Asia, Down Under, North- and Central America. My time in Australia and New Zealand, in particular, was unforgettable for many reasons. From day one, I connected with both countries.

The variety that both countries offer, the peace and quiet, the overwhelming nature, but most of all, the friendly and relaxed people; everything in Australia and New Zealand appeals to me. In total, I have travelled Down Under for more than a year.

Now, several years further, I am happy to be able to do this type of work, to create bespoke holidays to the most beautiful countries in the world. Our strong philosophy, unique accommodations and special activities will make your trip an unforgettable experience.
