Following a five year career in media, Charlie caught the travel bug and took a 16 month trip encompassing Southeast Asia, Australasia and the Pacific. Not wishing to go back to London or the media world, Charlie moved to Oxfordshire and joined Audley in 2003 to pursue his passion for travel. Since then, Charlie has renewed his acquaintance with all corners of Southeast Asia, in particular Indochina and Thailand, and he has also returned to visit Bali and Lombok. Charlie is Audley's most experienced country specialist and when he is not planning itineraries he enjoys playing cricket for the Audley Ducks, the company cricket club he co-founded in 2004, as well as playing golf and tennis.
After graduating with a degree in History, Jack took a year out, to combine travel and work in Thailand, Indochina, Malaysia, Singapore, Bali, Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. After returning to the UK Jack interspersed working in recruitment and sales and marketing with numerous extended visits to Indochina and Thailand. His enthusiasm for the region led him to Audley in 2006 to share his passion, knowledge and experience of Southeast Asia with our clients. Since joining Audley he has re-visited Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia and added Indonesia to his portfolio following an extensive tour of the region. In his free time, Jack enjoys outdoor activities including skiing, walking, cycling, running, squash and diving. A sociable character, Jack enjoys attending gigs and meeting with friends in pubs and clubs.
Having graduated with a degree in English & History, Matt embarked on a two year trip around the world. Hawaii, Cook Islands, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand & Burma were the countries that introduced him to independent travel. Since then Matt has visited several countries in Africa and covered much of North and Central America but spent the majority of his time in Southeast Asia. Itchy feet in 2006 resulted in a six month trip to Indonesia. First hand knowledge of this diverse land coupled with a desire to assist others in experiencing such a breathtaking country kick started a career at Audley. Matt has a passion for surfing, hence the twelve visits to Indonesia over the last decade. At home, he strives to maintain his single figure golf handicap.
Sarah started her travels in Europe which culminated with her settling in Greece for over two years where she became immersed in the culture and learnt to speak the language. Eventually she returned to the UK but maintained her passion for travel and in 2003 embarked on what was to be two and a half years of intensive travelling and working throughout Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia. It was discovering the delights of other countries and their unique cultures that convinced Sarah to pursue a career in travel upon her return and use her knowledge and enthusiasm to inspire others. Sarah is also a keen landscape and travel photographer and is currently working on her first book.
