What is your favorite travel memory?

Scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef with a "school" of manta rays and turtles. The Whitsunday Islands are some of the world's best and I could choose to retire there one day.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I am still fairly new to the company, but I greatly look forward to meeting people with a passion to change the world for the better, and look to brighten up the days and years of people in less fortunate circumstances.

As an employee of GVI, I'd like to make my own mark on the world by trying to make it a better place tomorrow. This is definitely something GVI strives to achieve as well.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

Jalova, Costa Rica. The exceptional amount of biodiversity in the region (rainforest) is something I believe to be of vital importance to the world and the future it has for us. The rare Jaguars and turtles, and their relationship to one another, interests me quite a bit.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

The like-minded individuals of the company are truly and utterly passionate about what they do. They know they are changing lives, and they look to change more, and for the better, in every step. It is something I have always wanted in a career and lifestyle.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

I believe passion is a HUGE factor in bringing a company to success. One can't just make anything work without first believing in that thing.
