About Us

Nick Bowditch Travel opened its virtual doors on September 1st, 2008.

Having worked in retail and wholesale travel, as well as working many years in the scuba industry all over the world, Nick returned home to Australia and wanted a new challenge.

So he and his wife, Kelly, started Nick Bowditch Travel – Australia’s Family Travel Expert. In the last 3 years, the blog has grown to a point where it has more than 10,000 subscribers and, through various means now, has turned over more than $1 million.

They have been able to achieve all of this without a shopfront, only virtual staff, and without doing any traditional marketing or spent one cent on advertising – instead opting to market the business using online and social media marketing, most notably on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

In August 2011, three years after the blog was born, Nick and Kelly put their blog through a rebirth.

When it relaunched, the blog was simpler, cleaner, easier for families to navigate and get the information they need about their holidays and travel, and also became more of a portal for advertisers, wholesale travel company, tour operators, hoteliers and retail travel agents to promote their own specials and exclusive offers to the more than 10,000 subscribers of Australia’s Family Travel Expert.

Nick and Kelly still travel a lot with their 2 (soon to be 3 under 3) kids in tow.
