One of the things I love about working with World Expeditions is having the opportunity to connect with a lot of our clients and, through that, we get to share the experience they have of seeing somewhere new for the first time.

The banter with other guides keeps me laughing for days, and I have great conversations with clients. We spend time in one of the most beautiful places on our planet, with people who appreciate nature. We get to look up at the stars at night and see the landscape change throughout the season. It is the best job in the world!

More than just a job, we are a growing community

Our focus on community and connections underlies why and what we do. 

Being known as a great place to work, and our reputation in the industry, makes it easier to attract top talent. For us, being a great place to work is good business. 

It's about the next great discovery, a great new destination, taking our clients to new lands and new ventures that leave lifelong impressions and change their outlook. And in everything we do, we do to make a positive impact on sustainable tourism around the globe.

With our divisions operating all over the world, we are always seeking passionate and enthusiastic individuals to join our team.

On a World Expeditions adventure, you can expect great value, high quality and real adventure travel experiences on all seven continents. Our story began in 1975, when the mountains of Nepal inspired our first trek. Since then, we've pioneered many adventure travel firsts, all driven by our goal to provide active and adventurous travellers with BIG adventures that leave a small footprint on the people and places we visit.

In Australia and New Zealand, WETG have various divisions including Australian Walking Holidays, Tasmanian Expeditions, Huma Charity Challenge, Blue Mountains Adventure Company, Adventure South NZ, Trail Journeys and the Great Walks of New Zealand.

Across Europe, North America and in the UK, we have various specialist divisions including UTracks, Walkers' Britain, Great Canadian Trails, North America Active and Sherpa Van.

We believe travel is about embracing the nature, culture, and people of each destination, which is why we strive to create unique and innovative adventures that give travellers an immersive experience in a destination at minimal impact to the environment.

    'I have been working for World Expeditions for a very long time, I can't even remember what year I started. I have worked with the company predominately hiking in Central Australia (Larapinta Trail/Uluru/Watarrka NP), the Top End (Kakadu/Jatbula Trail/Bungle Bungles), WA (Bibbulum Track/Cape to Cape Track), SA (Flinders Ranges), Tasmania (variety of different tracks/trips), Ethiopia's Simien Mountains and New Zealand (North and South Islands on a variety of cycling and hiking trips).

    'One of the things I love about working with World Expeditions is having the opportunity to connect with a lot of our clients and, through that, we get to share the experience they have of seeing somewhere new for the first time. We make them feel safe and help them see the value of something they might not realise is really special.

    'I have been fortunate enough to be provided with a career as a professional guide at World Expeditions. The team environment in Central Australia is what makes it work long-term. I always wanted to work in the outdoors but also make it sustainable, World Expeditions has given me the opportunity to achieve this.'

    'This is my first year (2021) with World Expeditions. During the winter season I have been working in Central Australia on the Larapinta Classic in Comfort, Best of Larapinta and End to End Larapinta trips.

    'I am just about to make the move down to Tasmania where I have been given the opportunity to work for the Tasmanian branch of the company, Tasmanian Expeditions.

    'I love working for World Expeditions because the trips they operate run so efficiently and professionally. There's a great sense of community amongst staff and management. I have been given the chance to meet so many amazing people and create lasting friendships.'

    'I have been working with World Expeditions since 2017 when I was just a fresh faced 20-year-old straight out of TAFE. I have always had a passion for travel and World Expeditions has given me the opportunity to explore my own country.

    'I have been working predominantly in Central Australia (Larapinta Trail/Uluru/Watarrka NP), Top End (Kakadu/Jatbula Trail/Bungle Bungles), SA (Flinders Ranges) and in various locations around Tasmania.

    'A few years ago, I was given the chance to step into a management role for Australian Walking Holidays, which gave me the chance to develop and learn a whole new range of skills. This year, I am stepping into a new role again as the National Product Manager.

    'I love working for World Expeditions because of the amazing team and support I have behind me. This company has given me the opportunity to grow and learn in ways I couldn't have even dreamed of when first starting out.

    'I have met amazing people that share my passions and beliefs and made lasting connections with both my co-workers and guests. I have never felt like just an employee to World Expeditions but always as a valued and vital part of the overall team.'

    'I have been working for World Expeditions since 2019 on the Larapinta Trail, hiking with groups on six-day Classic Larapinta trips, and taking some of the art expeditions to beautiful locations throughout the West MacDonnell Ranges.

    'I love working for World Expeditions because I have so much fun on the trips. The banter with other guides keeps me laughing for days, and I have great conversations with clients. We spend time in one of the most beautiful places on our planet, with people who appreciate nature. We get to look up at the stars at night and see the landscape change throughout the season. It is the best job in the world!'

    'I am an Australian high-altitude mountaineer, having completed over 60 expeditions in the last 25 years. For over 20 years I have worked closely with World Expeditions developing and guiding our more challenging treks and climbs in Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan, Central Asia and South America.

    'I love working as part of a team while at the same time being self-sufficient, it is very rewarding. Bottom line is I just love being in the mountains. My most memorable mountaineering expeditions would have to be Everest in 2011, but my first ascent of Ama Dablam in 2004 with my Nepali climbing partner Dhana Rai is a close second.

    In 2020, when international borders closed I set my sights on adventures closer to home. I have continued working for World Expeditions as a canyoning guide with Blue Mountains Adventure Company and a trekking guide on the Larapinta for Australian Walking Holidays.

    It has been very rewarding to be given the opportunity to learn about our domestic trips and work with our amazing domestic crew. Soon I hope to be leading some expeditions with World Expeditions in Tasmania.'
