Brad Sward
Trendell & Turner Travel Associates
Manly, QLD
It took Brad almost 20 years to discover that his dream career is working in travel. That was over a decade ago, and he has now reached 10 years of creating amazing holidays for his clients.
His passion for travel has taken Brad to so many incredible places all over the world. His favourite destination is Japan where he fell in love with the culture, history, scenery and the wonderful food. His trip to India was also one to remember, where he learnt of the country's different facets of life. He has also climbed Mt Fuji to watch the sun rise, enjoyed some vodka with Russian soldiers on the Trans-Mongolian, walked the Inca trail and discovered 'secret bars' in Shanghai.
If you hadn't already guessed it, Brad loves holidays that explore bespoke destinations and have unique experiences that you will remember forever. And he loves passing his enthusiasm on to his clients. He has booked holidays for clients that explore the fjords in Norway with even a visit to Santa's Village in Rovaniemi (on Christmas Day!) through to helicopter flights for small groups over Victoria Falls in Africa, and the list goes on and on. There's no limit to what Brad can create for you.
He welcomes everyone to bring their deepest travel dreams, so he can turn them into a reality. Brad's favourite quote is - "Once the travel bug bites, there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life." ― Michael Palin.

What is your number one travel tip?
Remember, if you have your passport and access to money then everything else is easily replaceable. Keep these close to you at all times.
What are your favourite destinations and why?
Japan. I have travelled there five times and love the fact that it's one of the smallest countries with the most to see and do. Every region is so different.
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
By tailoring their travel arrangements to their specific requirements, from luxury accommodation to experiences, to ensure every detail aligns with their preferences.
Where is still on your bucket list?
I have always wanted to do some sailing in the Caribbean. The picturesque sunsets, turquoise waters and abundance of sea life - definitely a bucket list trip for me.

Brad's client testimonial
Brad Sward organised the most amazing holiday for my husband and I, along with four friends, who did parts of the 4week trip with us. So he had 6 people to deal with and coordinate which he did so very well. From meeting with Brad for the first day of planning, right through to the departure day, we had the most positive experience. He is so knowledgable, informative, patient, calm, supremely organised and available for queries which he answers promptly. The Viking River cruise we did was on Brad’s recommendation and is without a doubt the best week of holiday I’ve ever had. All the other bookings he made for us - train, hotels, tours- were all clearly presented in the App as well as paper copies, which made our travel experience so easy and seamless. I recommend Brad to anyone wanting to have the best holiday experience. We have already booked our next trip through him!
