Ken Morgan

Managing Director and Founder of ‘Two’s a Crowd’

Favourite Place: Vietnam
Favourite Food: Vietnamese especially Hanoi spring rolls in Hanoi.

“The thing I love most about travelling is simply wandering around and taking in the smells (not always perfumed), sounds and sights of new places. I love my food (and a refreshment) so I always seek out what’s local, busy and authentic, blend in and watch the world go by. I’m born and bred in Melbourne so no time living in exotic offshore cities, yet!”

BERNADETTE BRUGGEMAN

Solo Travel Consultant

Favourite Place: Sri Lanka – The train journey between Kandy and Ella ; so incredibly picturesque.
Favourite Food: In Winter – Irish Stew with creamy mash potatoes and a pint of Guinness, and in Summer – any Vietnamese or Japanese food. Yum.

I grew up in Northern Ireland, and had always dreamt of adventure and travelling the world. Little did I know that one day I would end up settling in Australia! Once my Uni days were over, I grabbed my Irish passport and I embarked upon a three year working holiday across Europe. Highlights ( amongst many), included managing a cafe on the Greek Island of Zakynthos, working in hotels in Edinburgh and Jersey, and my all-time favourite… two years in beautiful Vienna working in an Irish bar, where I learned how to pull the perfect pint of Guinness! There is a real sense of connection to the destination when you travel this way, and it certainly ignited my desire to make a career of it.

Since joining the Two’s a Crowd team in 2012, I have learned so much about planning and organising the group tours.

Travel planning can be complex , but I thoroughly enjoy taking the hassle out of it. I love the marvellous feedback we get from our valued clients, especially from those who have never travelled without a partner or friend before.

Japan is next on my travel radar; to experience a traditional Kaiseki dinner in Kyoto and a trip on the bullet train would be the highlights.

Our Tour Hosts turn an ordinary holiday into an extraordinary adventure. They work closely with the local guides at our destinations to ensure the day-to-day smoothrunning of each and every tour. Travel is their passion and they love sharing it with you – from local customs to ‘must try’ dishes. They’re also more than happy to just hang out – taking you round the local markets, sitting for a while and watching the world go by or even accompanying you to dinner – just ask!

STACEY STRAFORD

Tour Host

Favourite Place: Piedmont, Italy
Favourite Food: Italian Linguine with fried scampi

What I love most about travelling is the feeling of experiencing something so brand new. My favourite travels have been to places that I could possibly see myself living in one day! I love meeting the locals and immersing yourself in the day to day of somewhere foreign! I have travelled all over the world, but relish the fact that there are still so many new places for me to see. Stockholm will always hold a piece of my heart forever and I can still speak Swedish. Italy is also a second favourite; the food, the beaches, the culture… aahhhh… bliss!!

She’s travelled all over the world from Egypt to Argentina, Vietnam to France and has the ‘travel bug’ well and truly! Gillian also speaks Spanish fluently. Bien hecho!

DIANE SQUIRES

Tour Host

Favourite Place: I have to choose just one place—Lavaux in Switzerland stole my heart
Favourite Food: A traditional English Roast—preferably lamb —with yorkshire puddings and roast and mash potatoes…

For Diane, travelling is a way of life. From white water rafting down the Zambezi in Africa, following lions on safari in Kenya to backpacking through Myanmar, swinging across the Alps from France into Italy by cablecar and traipsing through the vineyards in Switzerland, every aspect of travel is an adventure. “I love that moment when you arrive in a new country – meet new people, see new landscapes and learn about a new culture – it’s addictive.” When not travelling you’ll find Diane writing about her experiences or reading voraciously to find new ideas on where to travel next!

ADRIAN DUNCAN

Tour Host

Favourite Place: Anywhere in Africa
Favourite Food: It’s a toss up between wood-fired pizza or a Hoi An Bahn Mi

Adrian is an avid traveller and photographer who loves nothing more than meeting new people and sharing a few laughs along the way. At the end of most days you’ll find him chatting happily with a group of complete strangers. He loves the way travel acts as a thread that brings complete strangers together to re-live the days highlights and plan tomorrow’s adventures—often over a beer or two. He has travelled through Africa, Asia, Europe, India and parts of the US. Adrian loves all aspects of travel, from research and planning a trip months (or years) in advance, to putting together the coffee table book full of amazing memories months after the journey has ended. Travel and photography go hand in hand. The art is knowing when to put the camera down and just take in the moment.

What Our Clients Say

20 out of 10!

The trip was just great - I can't really think of any negatives. Diane will back me up when I say I usually give 10/10s - I gave her 20/10. Trish, Canada/Alaska

Excellent trip

I found the overall trip excellent. I believe Diane's professionalism, inclusive personality and ability to relate to all contributed to this. She worked to ensure the group was cohesive without individuals impinging on the personal space of others etc. a good skill to have and one she applied effectively. Kate, Canada/Alaska

Fantastic value for money

Fantastic value for money paid. Russell our guide is an asset to your company... he was fantastic! Overall the trip was magical from start to finish. Well done Two's a Crowd ... the best trip ever. Barbara, Canada/Alaska

Fantastic first solo trip

I had a fantastic trip. Absolutely loved Canada and Alaska. It's the first time I have travelled solo and was pleasantly surprised to find a bunch of people that all got on so well. Diane our host was great. She did a good job of getting us altogether for meals, excursions, shopping trips etc. I liked that she quietly got things done without being loud or "in-your-face". She was good at being one of us as well as our leader. Wendy, Canada/Alaska

Good balance of activities and spare time

Had a great time. Good mixture of organised activities and spare time. Diane was an excellent tour host. Russell the tour guide was great, very knowledgeable and personable with his insights into growing up and living in Canada. Sharon, Canada/Alaska

Well organised trip with an excellent host

The trip was well organised, with a good mix of activity and free time. The scenery was spectacular and fellow travellers were a great bunch. Diane is a excellent host - helpful, courteous and above all a pleasure to know. I found her bubbly personality a bonus and can only speak highly of her. Gary, Canada/Alaska

I had a fabulous time

I had a fabulous time. Lake Louise and the hotel were magnificent. The cruise was excellent. Diane made sure that she was available for group meals and sightseeing, and was alway in good humour and great fun. I would recommend your company to everyone and am very interested in the Scandinavia tour at the end of 2017.

Cathy, Adelaide - Canada/Alaska May 2016

Great holiday

What a great trip! I experienced so much and participated in all that was offered. I had read and reviewed as much as time allowed me but was not prepared for what the trip gave me and that is a better understanding of the beautiful people of both countries. - Lesley on Vietnam/Cambodia

In good company

I thought the suggestions for optional things to do, in the "free" time were very good. So good, we really ended up with very little free time. So much to do! - Mary on Vietnam

Great time together

I found the trip interesting and eye opening with a great overview of both Vietnam and Cambodia. The other travellers on the trip were fabulous and we had a great time together. - Anonymous on Vietnam/Cambodia

Fantastic first experience!

Extremely well organised with fabulous guides throughout - especially in Vietnam! First holiday with your company and certainly not the last. - Glenys on Vietnam

Great group to travel with

Having a small group meant that the days were more relaxed and flexible and I really felt spoilt and looked after. Melinda on Borneo

Thoroughly enjoyed Uganda

Thoroughly enjoyed my trip especially Uganda. There was so much variety of things to do on this trip. Jaros & Julius were great. Thought in Kenya the Maasai Mara were beautiful people, so easy to get along with. Judy

Can’t stop talking about my experience

I just feel so privileged to have shared with the Maasai the most awe-inspiring majestic sights and sounds of Africa. The fantastic memories will be with me forever. Maureen

Absolutely enjoyable

Gillian was a fantastic host. She was there for us from the moment we reached Hotel Troy. Heather on Africa

Fabulous rapport filled with much humour!

A great bunch of people & I can't believe how we all had such a fabulous rapport filled with much humour!!!

I couldn’t fault anything.

The (Uniworld River) cruise was great, I met up with some wonderful people who treated me like part of the family !
The ship & crew were fantastic & the excursions were very good, I couldn't fault anything. I'd recommend this cruise to anyone. Peter

Informative and educational

The entire trip was one of the most enjoyable and exciting. Also so informative and educational. I was so pleased to make the trip. Wish I was over there in that magical place. Marjorie

Delighted

I’ve just returned from the wonderful Kimberley trip. It was my first experience with Two’s a Crowd and I was delighted. Kay

Opportunity to experience

I have had the opportunity to experience things I would never had done by myself. Solo travellers is a fantastic concept and use of social media has been a great way to share and keep in touch with friends and family. Judi

I need not have worried

Being my first tour and a senior member, I admit I was apprehensive but I need not have worried. It was great and I was very well looked after. Can’t wait to go to Kenya with Two’s a Crowd. Maureen

Smooth and seamless

A memorable trip of a lifetime, a wish fulfilled. A fascinating cultural country steeped in history which I found totally enthralling. Two’s a Crowd service was smooth and seamless. Pam

A wonderful experience

It was a wonderful experience visiting Cambodia and Vietnam and gave me a better understanding of these countries. I had a great time with new friends, we had a good bunch and Leonie was the perfect host. Eric

Value for money

Value for money and outstanding co-operation from your staff and tour operators. Joan

Safe and secure and totally looked after

An awesome adventure for my first time overseas alone. Leonie was excellent and both guides were also fantastic. At all times I felt safe and secure and totally looked after. Melinda

Well done Two’s a Crowd.

Leonie was an excellent host, the ideal person. I never felt any pressure to be involved in every activity so I could explore alone during free time. Having 2 or 3 nights in most places was great – you could rest up or party. Well done Two’s a Crowd. Jenny

A completely different experience

It was a nice surprise holiday, a completely different experience from all my other holidays. Thanks. Piroska

I’ve had at least 10 travel agents.

In my travelling life, I’ve had at least 10 travel agents. Two’s a Crowd is the first one where I haven’t had to correct anything in my travel documents. Piroska

“Finally. A travel company is recognising the needs of people like me”

This is perfect for me.

I really wanted to meet the people behind it

“I saw your ad in the local paper and could have phoned but I wanted to come in and congratulate you on starting this great business. I really wanted to meet the people behind it.”

Two’s a Crowd on the internet was definitely meant to be!

I’m really enthusiastic about the niche you are determined to cover in the market, and have the feeling stumbling on Two’s a Crowd on the internet was definitely meant to be.

I find them inspirational

Thanks for sending these emails as I find them inspirational and will sit dreaming for the next hour or so.

Thank you for providing a service for people like me

“I am very excited to read about your area of speciality, and look forward to devouring all information that might come my way. Thank you for providing a service for people like me.”

Excellent throughout.

The entire 14 days ran so smoothly from Two's a Crowd booking my flights to airport transfers and then the 12 days camping in the Kimberley. Excellent throughout. Congratulations. Marjorie
