A little about me:
I started out backpacking in 2012 and was instantly hooked. The money ran out after about 8 months, but I knew that one day I wanted to do it full time. I then moved into a “real” 9-5 career and became a teacher and eventually a vice-principal. It was great career experience but it still left me a little unsatisfied creatively and I knew there was more opportunity out there. I had always had a love for making memories in the form of video, so I worked tirelessly on my filmmaking skills. A little hard work mixed with some passion and here I am today doing it full time. Even though I’ve taken a pay cut, I wouldn’t want to be doing anything else.
Why is Aussie so special...
Aus was the location of my first backpacking trip and it’s the home of many of my friends. I love the weather, beaches, crazy animals and all adventurous experiences this place has to offer.
Favourite spot in Australia:
I’ve been to the Whitsundays twice now and it’s just sooo crazy beautiful! The marine live, the blue water and the sailing experience is just toooo good.
And Finally…
If I could express any sort of purpose while travelling… it’s encouraging others to do what they love. Travelling has an uncanny way of pushing people out of their comfort zones and subtly forces you to meet new people they would normally never talk to. People often find out who they really are and what they really like through these types of experiences. It doesn’t really matter what that “one thing” is, it’s just as long as you are happy and it gets you excited to live. Australia is a great place to make that happen!

Great service from Ben, can’t recommend RatPack enough. Got us a great price over a really busy period and got us the van we wanted. So easy and will definitely use them again in the future.
Gregg was very helpful in helping me plan my trip very last minute! Thanks so much
Jenna was a huge help getting me a camper for my trip up through the East Coast. Availability was tight and I can’t thank Jenna enough for sorting and at a great price. Definitely worth taking the stress out of searching and using these guys.

Messaged on Instagram and within a few minutes Reuben had replied, he went through every bit of detail to help arrange our east coast trip, providing the specification of the van and the true costings without any pressure. Very excited to start our trip next month, credit to the team for sure

Just booked a camper through Ratpack Travel with Gregg. He was super professional and talked me through the entire process with constant updates - absolute legend. One of the easiest experiences booking a camper I've had. Would definitely recommend!

Thanks for sorting out a camper for us Ben! I look forward to the trip and travelling in the RV you found for us
Gregg was fantastic chasing a great price and was extremely responsive - he called when he said he would, chased options immediately and was quick with follow up communication. The process was quick and painless and ended with us getting a great deal.
