Teaghan Beaumont

Hello! I’m Teaghan. I was born and raised in Canada to a British father and Ukrainian mother. After a decade of personal travel through North America, the Caribbean and Europe, I entered the travel industry so that I could help others see the world and make lasting memories. Whilst I loved going on trips between working, a dream of mine was always to travel solo for a longer period of time. I worked in the industry for over 4 years before I took the leap, and in January of 2022, I set off on my solo expedition.

I started in Colombia and spent 6 months working my way through South America (and working on my very mediocre Spanish/salsa skills). After a European summer, I set off to begin 6 months through Asia. During this time, my highlights included Thai cooking classes, jungle treks through Borneo, world-class diving in Indonesia, and living/working at an English school for underprivileged youths in a small village in Cambodia. I then began a working holiday Visa in Australia and spent 8 sunny months enjoying the pristine beaches, great weather, and laidback Aussie lifestyle.

I’ve since returned to the travel industry here in Bristol with a world of knowledge at my disposal, and I can’t wait to chat with you and make your travel dreams a reality too!
