About Me

Hi, I'm Shaun, and I'm your Tripbod in Oz!

I started off life working in corporate training and IT project management before falling into tourism. I have a passion for travelling, so when an opportunity came up to work for whl.travel a few years ago, I jumped at it.

This is where I came across Tripbod, and loved the concept because I know first hand what a difference it makes when you have that insider local knowledge to help you really discover and explore aspects of a destination...and especially its people and culture.

With Tripbod, I now have the chance to now be that local, and help other travellers experience my country. I also work for Urban Adventures, a new business aimed at bringing local experiential day tours to a global audience. I am also starting a local day tour business in Brisbane, Australia....and becoming the local Urban Adventures operator.


Some unique local travel experiences I can help you to plan are:

- How to get close to whales and dolphins off Moreton Bay - on all budgets
- Getting a feel for the Aboriginal story, as well as stories of the early penal colony
- Get out of the city of Brisbane on a customised wildlife experience
- Discover Brisbane on 2 wheels - with many great cycle journeys around the city
- Train and ferry to North Stradbroke Island to camp and watch the Whale migration
- Other great activity options in other cities around Australia!

Ask me about these experiences and anything else in my area - I'd love to help you plan your perfect trip!

Urban Adventures

Urban Adventures are the city tour with a difference! In just a few hours we get under the skin of the city you're visiting - so you know it like a local! In fact many of our travellers are locals - seeing their own city in a different way! So whether it's your first time, or your hundredth, we're confident that Urban Adventures will open up a whole new dimension on many of your favourite cities around the world. Intrepid Travel and whl.travel have joined together to create Urban Adventures, a new style of travel experience for those who want to get off the beaten path and really connect with the destination. The experience can be as short as a couple of hours, or a whole day, but in every case Urban Adventures will take you to interesting places to meet locals, and really see what makes the place tick.
