Andy Austen
Biography
Andy has worked in the travel industry for 17 years, specializing as a tailor-made consultant. Having first travelled to Australia and New Zealand in the late 1990s to live and work, he has returned Down Under on a regular basis, to enjoy the varied scenery, superb food and laid-back personalities that you meet along the way. He considers New Zealand something of a first love but is also drawn to the hustle and bustle of Sri Lanka where the colonial history, religious architecture, varied landscapes and spectacular beaches make for a wonderful holiday. In addition, Andy has also travelled throughout Europe, Asia, the USA and Canada, and has dipped his toes into Southern Africa, South America and the Caribbean.
