Sarah Coote is a woman who has followed her love of the ocean and passion for travel to fully immerse herself in travel in every career she’s had. She’s currently working and living on Christmas Island, an incredible island located 350km south of Indonesia.
If you haven’t heard of Christmas Island, well just remember that every day is a gift when waking up on Christmas Island. From giant rubber crabs migrating, to eco lodges or bird watching the frigatebird to swimming with humpback whales with what seems to be a never ending sunset on the horizon - the more layers you discover of Christmas Island, the more you will want to go back every year.
Sarah has toured guests from her first job as a dolphin instructor to living abroad most of her life and bringing her family with spouse and 4 children along for the ride! With over 18 years of experience in tourism and over 15 years experience in business, project management, tourism & destination marketing, photography and cinematography she has gotten to promote destinations on land and underwater around the globe. Be inspired as she shares how she’s decided to lead her life with travel first and being surrounded by the ocean - your jaw will drop like mine did when hearing about her encounter with dolphins while pregnant 2 days after her due date! Unreal experience.
Hear about this incredible island, what to expect and what to do as well as what their Christmas tradition is on Christmas Island (population of 1400) and my favorite question - why is it even called Christmas Island?!
Another destination to add to the never ending bucket-list!
Until next time, fly straight.
