Glenyce Johnson and Jane Reed met in 1994 whilst working together in the advertising industry. Based on their professional respect for each other and a shared passion for many interests outside work – notably travel and walking, they became friends. One of the many experiences they have achieved together is walking 100kms in 48 hours for the Oxfam Trailwalker fund raising event.
Glenyce, originally from Warrnambool, left her country town to travel the world, returning to Melbourne eight years later. Following a five-year stint at Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising, she aligned her passion for travel by joining Peregrine Adventures, initially as the Financial Controller in 1999, before her appointment to Managing Director in 2005. In 2006, Glenyce was awarded Telstra Business Woman of the year for the Private & Corporate Sector. In 2013, Glenyce completed a life-changing journey walking the Camino de Santiago, an 800km pilgrimage across France and Spain; her mantra then became ‘more walking, less working’ and sharing the travel she loves.
After a career spanning 22 years in advertising agencies, including 3 years at Saatchi & Saatchi, Jane moved to head up Marketing at Jenny Craig, and in 2000 she was appointed Managing Director. Jane has hiked many trails through Europe, and trekked in the magical Himalaya on a number of occasions. Jane also had the opportunity to combine her love for travel when she joined Peregrine Adventures in 2004 as Marketing Director and once again was professionally reunited with Glenyce.
Given their passion for travel, and appetite for new destinations, Glenyce and Jane have explored over 100 countries across all seven continents.
They are now committed to offering their travel experience for others to enjoy, through Wandering the World.
The excitement of expanding our cultural awareness through travel has always been a focus in our lives, both personally and professionally. We are motivated by discovering new places, meeting new people and the thrill of our next adventure ….Our philosophy is centred on the quote by Saint Augustine “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page”.
We have had many wonderful years of professional life working for others. Wandering the World enables us to share our personal journeys and adopt a lifestyle dedicated to travel, so we can enjoy more, and share more. Using our first hand knowledge and our extensive network of partners around the globe, our promise is to create and deliver authentic and exceptional travel experiences.
We believe the best way to discover and experience a place, is on foot, and we are energised by walking and trekking – we also value and appreciate the destinations that don’t necessarily lend themselves to an active style of holiday, therefore we incorporate touring options so you are able to wander at your leisure.
