Venetia Martin

Venetia’s passion for exploration was sparked during teenage years spent in Maseru, Lesotho where she attended a local school and would spend weekends discovering the mountains.

After studying Business Leadership & Management, an early career in London in marketing, design and advertising was overshadowed by the allure of Argentina, where she pursued a passion in equine therapy in Cordoba and learnt Spanish.

She travelled extensively in Latin America and relocated to Buenos Aires, where she worked for a London-based luxury travel company, leading sales and expanding their Latin offering.

A curiosity for Central America took her to Costa Rica, where she spent three months driving across the country and discovering truly wild and unspoilt places. She started a travel advisory, working with a number of private ranches and reserves to create transformative experiences in, and for, conservation.

Venetia joined Journeys With Purpose at the early inception, and believes it is in the strength and passion of our remarkable team that we can achieve our vision for meaningful impact through travel.

Venetia is a Travel & Leisure’s A List Travel Advisor, and this year celebrated the Creativity Award by PURE for “finding ways to help travellers see the world in a new light”.
