Our specialists

Meet your specialist: Kieran

A Sydney native, I have worked in the travel industry for over a decade. I moved to the UK in 2022 and have since travelled extensively throughout Europe – by train where possible! My adventures include London to Florence with the Bernina Express over the Alps, from Oslo to Bergen including the Flam Corkscrew Railway, Berlin to Vienna via Prague, across Spain to Madrid and Seville – plus more Eurostars than I can remember.

Meet your specialist: Rosie

I have always had a passion for culture and travel. Some of my most memorable experiences include snorkelling in the Great Barrier and Ningaloo reefs, spotting bears in Canada and Alaska, seeing dingoes on K’Gari, glimpsing humpback whales in Seward, and catching sight of moose from the Alaskan Railroad.

Clive

Co-founder

In 1972 I lived and worked in North West Iceland village of Flateyri. Working on fishing boats and a fish factory afforded me the opportunity to explore a lot of the country. It was enough to start my love affair with Iceland. A few years on…and my passion for Iceland is as strong as ever

I currently  live in Epsom, Surrey (I travel as much as I possibly can get away with). I enjoy hiking, diving, playing the guitar, and travelling. My four children have inherited my love for Iceland, unlike our chocolate Labrador, Sam, who much prefers to stay at home!

Nicky

Deputy Managing Director

I have worked in travel my entire career with amazing brands such as British Airways, Virgin Holidays, and Kuoni but here at Discover the World we genuinely have a team that are destination specialists, curious and are always looking to explore new experiences for our customers, so they can see the world differently.

Our purpose and values are at the heart of everything we do. They set our course, guide and inspire us, enabling our brilliant team to create unforgettable memories for our customers and ensuring we continue to lead the way in delivering exceptional customer experiences.

We are passionate about responsible travel but it goes deeper than reducing a trip’s carbon footprint. There’s a lot to do. This is one journey we are fully committed to going on. We believe that all students should benefit from educational travel, whatever their background. That’s why a percentage of revenue from your holiday, goes into our Education Bursary Fund run in partnership with the Geographical Association, it means that at least 30 students who wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity can join one of our school trips abroad to see first hand destinations like Iceland to help inspire them and genuinely make an impact on their lives and our environment.
