Travel Connex

Travel Connex was born from a simple truth: travel is better when it’s shared. But we know not everyone has a built-in travel buddy, and that shouldn’t be a reason to stay home. 

That’s where we come in. We create unforgettable group travel experiences for solo adventurers and small groups who want to explore the world, connect with like-minded travellers, and turn strangers into lifelong friends.

We’re not your average travel agency we’re your travel community. Whether it’s cruising through the Med, soaking up Moroccan sunsets, or chasing cherry blossoms in Japan, our tours are curated for curious, open-hearted souls who believe the journey is the destination.

Hi, I'm Renee

Hey there! I’m Renee, a cruise-loving, country-hopping explorer with 59 countries under my belt and a suitcase full of stories. I’ve always believed that life is better when you’re boarding planes, catching ferries, and waking up in new places, with your hair a little messy and your heart wide open.

Cruising is my personal favourite way to see the world. There’s nothing quite like unpacking once and letting the ocean take you to a new destination every day. I’ve sailed with Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, P&O, and Carnival, and I know exactly how to help you find the perfect cruise that fits your vibe, budget, and travel style.

But it’s not all about the high seas! My background includes ground operations and retail travel, giving me a rock-solid understanding of logistics and planning. I’ve helped craft everything from simple weekend getaways to complex, multi-country, multi-generational adventures.

I bring a calm, client-first approach to everything I do, and I’m here to help you navigate your next adventure with confidence, clarity, and just the right amount of fun (cocktails on the lido deck, anyone?)

Hi, I'm Kelley

Hi, I’m Kelley and I’ve been chasing the horizon since I was ten years old. That first taste of adventure sparked a lifelong passion that’s taken me to 62 countries (and counting!). Every stamp in my passport has shaped not only how I see the world, but how I help others experience it too.

For me, travel is more than a holiday, it’s a way of life, a teacher, and the ultimate connector. Over the years, I’ve worked across every corner of the travel industry: from planning intricate itineraries as a travel agent, to leading epic European tours with Contiki, to promoting exotic destinations through digital marketing.

These days, I specialise in group travel with purpose, bringing people together for unforgettable adventures and creating the kind of trips you’ll be talking about for years.

My superpower? Blending hands-on travel knowledge with strategic planning skills to make every journey feel seamless, stress-free, and seriously special. Whether you’re dreaming of sun-soaked beaches, off-the-grid adventures, or cultural deep-dives, I’m here to turn those travel dreams into “I can’t believe I’m actually here” moments.

Why Do We Do This?

It’s not just about ticking destinations off a list, it’s about the moments that take your breath away, the people you meet along the way, and the stories you’ll tell for years to come. It’s standing in front of the Pyramids of Giza, feeling the weight of history around you. It’s sharing laughter with locals in a tucked-away café in Paris. It’s watching the sun set over the Serengeti, realising just how vast and beautiful the world truly is.

We started Travel Connex because we believe no one should have to put their travel dreams on hold simply because they don’t have someone to go with. We’ve met so many people who have said, “I’ve always wanted to go to [insert dream destination], but I’ve never had the chance.” We’re here to change that.

For us, travel has never been just about where you go—it’s about who you experience it with. It’s about connection—both with the world and with the incredible people you meet along the way. That’s why we create trips designed to bring together like-minded explorers who want to see the world, share the journey, and make lifelong friendships along the way.

We’ve been lucky enough to travel to 62 countries and counting, and we know firsthand the magic that comes from stepping into the unknown, embracing new cultures, and saying yes to adventure. Now, we want to help you experience that same joy.

So, if you’ve ever thought, “I wish I had someone to travel with,”—you do. We’ll be right there with you.

Because the world is meant to be explored—and it’s even better when shared.
