A decade of hard work pays off for working travel entrepreneur

If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. It's an adage as old as sliced bread, but every entrepreneur knows it takes a lot of work to get to that point.

However, when it comes to Jürgen Himmelmann, those hours of grinding do pay off, especially when they involve some serious travelling.

Over the last 10 years Himmelmann has built a thriving business on the Gold Coast called The Global Work & Travel Co.

His company is one of Australia's leading gap-year travel companies that offers meaningful travel experiences to 18-35-year olds who want to be more than just tourists.

Their core product, working holidays, allows customers to go overseas for up to 24 months and work a job they organise in advance to fund their stay and future travels.

Himmelmann and his team, which he says is at its biggest and best right now, send thousands of people overseas to the UK, Canada, and into Australia every year.

With more than 100 staff across Australia, Canada and the UK, and almost 10,000 people per year travelling through the Global Work & Travel Co, Himmelmann has established himself as one of the go-to guys in the industry. Read more
