Hi Travel Massive Sydney! 👋

I moved from London about 6 months ago and I'm now based here in Sydney, building FigFinder (figfinder.ai), an AI travel planning platform I originally started as a London-registered startup.

I'd love to connect with fellow travelers, travel creators, and travel agents in this group. I've got a creator program for anyone who enjoys sharing travel content, and FigFinder Pro for travel agents looking to streamline how they handle client trip planning. Genuinely open to anyone here trying FigFinder at any level, whether that's the travel guide, the creator program, or Pro, and would love honest feedback either way.

Check out:

Happy to chat more, looking forward to being part of this community!

Cheers,

Hey Travel Massive Sydney! 👋

Just moved back to Australia after 5 years across Singapore, Vietnam and Malaysia - reverse culture shock is real but happy to be home.

Most recently I founded LFG, a travel discovery platform, which got acquired by Laters.com (formerly Fly Fairly), where I stuck around as Chief of Staff for a year before making the move back.

Would love to meet fellow travel folks in Sydney - always keen to swap notes on the industry, travel trends, or just hear what people are building here.

Happy to meet over coffee or the next chapter event! :)

Cheers,
Darryl

Hey Darryl, welcome back - I made a similar move a couple of years ago, the reverse culture shock is such a weird thing to navigate! If you're in the city, let's grab a coffee, otherwise see you at the next event (details hopefully in the coming weeks!).

Hi Sydney Travel Massive

Lovely meeting a few of you at last month’s meetup.

I’m a Paris-based travel reporter and author currently home in Sydney and hosting a special event this Wednesday night (22nd April) exploring Paris through film, stories, live music and photography, inspired by my book The Movie Lover’s Guide to Paris.

It’s a free event at the Pink Piano Club at Mali Ston wine bar in the Inner West, with tables available to book here if you’d like to join:

PS I also host Travel Massive meetups in Paris — if you’re ever in town, let me know ✨

Corporate Engagement, ICMEC Australia

Hi Everyone!

I'm Jacqueline and I work for ICMEC (International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children) Australia.

We are calling on leaders in travel and tourism because we know the industry has a vital role to play in protecting children from child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA). Recent cases in which hotel staff have identified and stopped abuse on their premises serve as a powerful reminder that awareness and training can prevent harm and save lives.

As part of our annual symposium this year, we are uniting the travel and tourism sector to drive meaningful action against CSEA and build safer environments for children worldwide.

Why attend?

✅ Learn practical steps to safeguard children in travel & tourism

✅ Understand your organisation’s responsibility in addressing CSEA

✅ Connect with global leaders driving industry change

Join us and be part of the solution.

The event will be held at the Sydney Harbour Marriott on November 6th 2025.

Purchase your tickets here: lnkd.in/g-JpuT8e

Together, we can build a safer future for children and a safer industry for everyone.
