Ben Phelan

Travel Specialist

Growing up I did not get the chance to travel far and wide, but when I was 16, I signed up for a school trip to Madagascar and I have not looked back since! From then, I officially caught the travel bug. I went on to study languages at university where I spent a year abroad working in France and Spain. This encouraged me to pursue a career in travel and after a few years in the industry, I joined the Turquoise Team.

My passion for travel has developed through a range of incredible personal experiences across six continents. Some of my favourite memories include working in a USA summer camp, backpacking Southeast Asia and road-tripping around Queenstown in New Zealand. I love going to unique places and experiencing different cultures which leave a lasting impression on both myself and others so I can’t wait to plan a holiday with you.
