JULIAN H. | SOUTH AFRICA
I love leading National Geographic Journeys trips because I get to spend time with like-minded people who just love anything to do with nature. I get excited every time I see the joy on our travelers’ faces when they see their dream become a reality.
Many times, people on our trips have been waiting their whole lives to come to Africa to see our beautiful land and creatures. For me, it is a privilege to show them all that I can in the time I have with them. I want them to leave with a little piece of Africa in their hearts forever.
Changing people’s lives and showing them the importance and interconnectedness of nature brings me joy. A bit deep, maybe, but I do love what I do.
ZUHAIR Z. | JORDAN
I love my job for five reasons:
1. I get to meet new people. I love meeting others and hearing their stories.
2. I get to talk about my favorite place. Talking about your home, your family, and your friends—it’s literally the best thing ever.
3. I get to see others get excited about being at my favorite place. There’s nothing quite like that feeling you get when you see that your stories are making people smile.
4. I get to walk around my favorite place for hours. When you’re having a rough day or nothing seems to be going right, a nice walk through Petra talking about how much you love its beauty is a good way to lift your mood.
5. I make a huge impact in people’s lives. Every tour I do, every person I meet, is an opportunity to change their life by bringing them happiness and friendship.
JOURNEYS
With an offering of more than 70 trips, you may have a hard time deciding where to go first. We suggest that you take a look at what Journeys has to offer, consider your interests and your style of travel, and then narrow it down to that dream trip.
