We love to foster connections between individuals and the natural world, connections to ourselves and to other travellers. So we are crafting a lineup of tours aimed at enriching inclusivity and accessibility.
As we embark on this new venture, we extend an invitation for you to join us in our mission to cultivate a more equitable and inclusive world, one accessible tour at a time.
Our Story
Meet Bec. Bec is our Inclusive Travel Consultant and the sister of Luke Christiansen, the proud owner of International Park Tours.
Raised amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Gold Coast Hinterland, Bec’s wanderlust ignited at an early age, propelling her across the globe to explore destinations spanning Australia, Europe, Southeast Asia, and New Zealand. Despite a career journey that meandered through hospitality, corporate alliances, sales, marketing, and disability employment services, Bec’s path took a profound turn in 2014 following a life-altering spinal cord injury. This pivotal moment galvanised her mission to confront the obstacles faced by individuals with disabilities, propelling her into the realm of alternative health and wellness practices.
