Sabine Hussmann

I developed my passion for exploring the world and different cultures during a school exchange in Senegal. It taught me that we all have aspirations and can learn from one another, if we are open minded. Born in Germany, I travelled extensively through Europe, New Zealand, Australia, Russia, Dubai, Singapore and New Caledonia. After I graduated with a bachelor’s in International Tourism, I lived and worked in England, Germany, Australia, and now Canada. I enjoy my travels most when I get close to locals and learn directly from them about their culture. My most memorable experiences are swimming with whale sharks, hot air ballooning in the Australian Outback and skydiving in New Zealand. My bucket list is long, but at the top of the list is Bhutan – the only country in the world who measures the Gross National Happiness!

My passion for travel began at an early age, thanks to my parents, who regularly took me abroad on family holidays. As a teenager, if I wasn't off exploring somewhere new, I was reliving past adventures, dreaming about future destinations, and sharing my enthusiasm for travel with anyone who would listen.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have visited all seven continents, explored more than 75 countries, and lived for extended periods in five remarkable places: Wales, France, Germany, Australia, and Bali. Each destination has shaped my perspective and deepened my appreciation for different cultures, people, and experiences.
With more than 28 years in the travel industry, my passion for helping people discover the world remains as strong as ever. For the past 16 years, I have been proud to be part of Indus Travels, joining the company as a Sales Agent and growing alongside the organization as it expanded. Today, I serve as Director of Sales & Customer Care, a role that allows me to combine my love of travel with my commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences.
I've also been fortunate to share my passion for exploration with my own children—from snorkelling with sharks in Belize and fishing for piranha in the Peruvian Amazon to observing wild orangutans in Borneo and climbing the ancient temples of Angkor Wat. I hope these experiences have inspired in them the same lifelong love of travel that has guided me throughout my life. Even now, I make it a priority each year to discover somewhere new.
What I enjoy most is helping others experience the joy of travel for themselves. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone discover a new destination, create lasting memories, and catch the travel bug.

I began my career in Cultural Tourism as a lecturer for European educational groups in the Middle East. I studied architecture and graphic design but found in tourism the ideal field to fulfill my love of history, art and people. I have lived on 3 different continents and traveled extensively in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Americas! I can speak English, French and Farsi fluently and can get by in German, Spanish and Arabic.
I am very passionate about the cultural diversities one finds while traveling and my greatest ambition is to keep on traveling. I want to see the great architecture, the flora and fauna, taste the good food, drink the exotic wines, dance to different beats and enjoy the exciting nightlife that our world has to offer. That’s why my favorite destination is South America, it encompasses all of that and more!

Travelling is an adventure and it’s also a healer. Meeting new people in new places fills me with curiosity about the world around me, so travel feeds my desire to learn about new cultures and increases my respect for different places. Over the years I have explored everything from idyllic countryside landscapes to dynamic cities, wild mountains, peaceful beaches and fascinating deserts. I have travelled solo, as well as with groups of some of the most amazing and passionate travellers you could hope to meet. My visit to the UAE had a major impact on me. It was a turning point in my travelling adventure and unlike anything else I’ve experienced, because it’s a somewhat artificial setting, but it’s also fascinating and full of life at the same time.

My passion for travel began more than 15 years ago while completing my Tourism degree. What started as a dream to show my mother the world quickly became a lifelong love of discovering new destinations, cultures, and experiences. Through my travels, I learned that the greatest gift travel offers is the opportunity to create lasting memories.
Some of my most unforgettable adventures include surfing in Costa Rica, swimming with sharks in Belize, walking along pristine white-sand beaches in the Philippines, swimming with dolphins in Jamaica, feeding kangaroos in Australia, visiting the Big Buddha in Hong Kong, exploring the wonders of Machu Picchu, and paragliding over Lima.
For me, travel is about more than seeing new places—it's an opportunity to recharge, gain new perspectives, and connect with people and cultures around the world. Returning home with stories to share is always part of the journey.
Helping others create their own unforgettable travel experiences is what I enjoy most. There is nothing more rewarding than inspiring people to explore the world and make memories that will last a lifetime.

One of the aspects I enjoy most about working in travel is the opportunity to connect with people from around the globe and continually learn about different cultures, traditions, and ways of life.

Travel and adventure have always been a big part of my life, and one of my greatest passions is exploring on two wheels. Over the years, I’ve completed several motorcycle journeys across India, including my most memorable adventure—a 1,200-kilometre ride from Delhi to Ladakh through some of the country's most breathtaking landscapes.
For the past ten years, I have been proud to work in the travel industry, helping travellers create memorable experiences and discover new destinations. What I enjoy most is building genuine connections with the people I assist. Travel brings together individuals who share a curiosity about the world and an appreciation for the diverse cultures, landscapes, and experiences it offers.
I believe that some of life’s greatest rewards come from embracing new opportunities and enjoying the journey along the way. Wherever my future travels may lead, I look forward to discovering new places, meeting new people, and finding inspiration in every adventure.

I wrote my first airline ticket in summer vacations of grade 10, in a family owned travel business back in Bombay India, which was established by our grandfather in 1938.  Travel became passion right then and I haven’t looked back since. Joined Air France after graduation, had the fortune of working for Gulf Air, Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airways and other major travel businesses around the globe. My pursuit of cities, beaches, cultural, adventure, eco, nature, wilderness & architecture tourism has taken me to over 460 cities in 53 countries and am still counting.  Our friendly spy, Google just sent me travel account of 2018 that counted 11 countries, 55 cities and 147,000 km i.e. 2.5 times around the globe.  My favourite places so far are home i.e. Canada, Empty Quarter Desert in Arabian Gulf and South Island - New Zealand. Bucket list includes Antarctica, a train journey from Moscow to Vladivostok via Central Asia & Panama Canal on top, in a yearning of about +60 places. Travel is the best experience human race can attain and I just love to share it with our clients.

When it comes to travel, my personal mantra is: 'Travel light and with an open mind'. This has served me well in my travel experiences across Asia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America & it's also been useful in my career, which has included travel industry roles in the Philippines and India - and now in Canada. 

I joined Indus Travel in 2009 and I've worked with many groups from across the USA and Canada, putting together some amazing trips to places like Peru, South Africa, Italy and Ireland. I really enjoy working in group travel as it helps people to gain a deep understanding of different cultures and business procedures across the world.

Since I was a teenager, I was determined to become a travel guide. Following my dreams, I studied and successfully graduated with a Masters Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality Management in Ukraine. I did not become a tour guide, instead, I am the one who works behind the scenes, participating significantly in creation of new products. Today, with 20 years of experience, I am blessed to have an extraordinary and interesting job and I consider travel professionals, like me, to be extremely lucky as we bring the light, joy and happiness to people during their holidays. I have traveled vastly in Europe and I take any and every opportunity to travel for business, with family or friends like my recent trip to Ecuador & Galapagos Islands which was marvelous! South America is big on my travel bucket list and I daydream about Brazil, Argentina and Chile altogether with some other countries like Australia and New Zealand.

When I was 16, I got my first summer job landscaping which allowed me to explore different destinations in my home country. I became fascinated by travelling and knew that someday I wanted to work in the tourism industry so I could explore further afield. I studied Commerce at university before getting my first job as an Airport Representative for an inbound tour operator. This is where I learned the basics of tourism; being on the frontline, gave me the opportunity to interact with people from around the world. It is this job that taught me how much I loved sharing and introducing others to different cultures, that travel is one of the greatest ways to experience these exchanges. I underwent a career change to follow my passion — travel.  When it comes to personal preferences, I have always been a lover of cultural, beach and wild life destinations.  Now at Indus, I get the opportunity to help create memorable trips and adventures that our travellers will never forget. Outside of work I love to listen music, go cycling and play badminton.

My passion for travel began during my school years, when annual trekking trips across India introduced me to the excitement of exploring new places and experiencing different cultures. That early curiosity grew stronger during university, where I often set out on solo trips to discover a new destination whenever I had the opportunity.
Inspired by my love of travel, I pursued postgraduate studies in Tourism, where hands-on learning played a key role in my education. As part of the program, my classmates and I designed our own itineraries, coordinated transportation and accommodations, and managed trip budgets—valuable experiences that helped build the skills I use every day in the travel industry.
My travels have taken me to destinations including Thailand, Bali, Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Japan, a country that fascinated me from a young age. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of meeting people from around the world and forming friendships that continue to enrich my life.
What I enjoy most about my work is helping travellers bring their dream journeys to life. Whether planning an itinerary or finding the right travel solution, I take great satisfaction in creating seamless experiences that allow clients to return home with unforgettable memories.

My passion for travel began in childhood, when even a simple bus or train journey felt like an exciting adventure. That curiosity about the world grew even stronger while living in Dubai, a vibrant international hub where travel, culture, and exploration were woven into everyday life.

These experiences reinforced my belief that travel is one of the most powerful ways to broaden perspectives and create meaningful connections.
For me, travel and tourism are much more than a career—they are a true passion. I find great fulfilment in helping travellers discover new destinations, immerse themselves in authentic local experiences, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
As a Customer Care Specialist with Indus Travels, I am proud to help clients go beyond simply visiting a destination. My goal is to create exceptional journeys that inspire, enrich, and transform, turning great vacations into truly unforgettable life experiences.

Traveling is not just a passion; it's a transformative experience that fuels the soul. Exploring new destinations and immersing in diverse cultures ignites the curiosity and deepens appreciation for the world we live in. From the serene beauty of countryside landscapes to the vibrant energy of bustling cities, from the awe-inspiring heights of majestic mountains to the tranquil shores of pristine beaches, and to the mesmerizing charm of the captivating deserts, every journey we undertake leave an indelible mark on our spirits. I had the incredible opportunity to embark on a memorable journey to Singapore. This vibrant state captivated me with its blend of modernity and rich cultural heritage.
Exploring its dazzling skyscrapers, iconic landmarks, and enchanting gardens was a feast for the senses, while the warm hospitality of the locals left a lasting impression on my heart. Singapore's unique charm and progressive spirit have further fueled my passion for the travel industry, reminding me of the endless wonders awaiting exploration.

As a travel professional, I consider myself blessed to be able to bring light, joy, and happiness to people during their well-deserved vacations.

The journey of thousand miles begin with a single step, the urge to create moments and treasure the investment. This is how my soul embarked for a complete journey. Travel always brought me out of my comfort towards exploring various cultures, customs, traditions, language, food, clothing and ethinicity. For me, travel is not a reward but an education for my living. I feel fortunate to have spread the joy, happiness, experiences and knowledge to many who have the desire to explore the world. It allows you to become so many different versions of yourself and to be lost in the best direction. I wish to see places than to hear about them and continue my journey of going thousand miles. The change in the earth latitude has brought a change in my attitude.

I never got a chance to explore my own country much (still haven’t). Fortunately, one of the most beautiful countries – Australia, was my first international destination. I was smitten. Although I was a student there pursuing my MBA, I explored the length and breath of the country  in a RV. I did not know at the time that this tour planning skill will help countless others with their own travels. My subsequent stints at work required me to travel overseas for extended periods and I always found some time to absorb what the country had to offer.

Thankfully, I have had the chance to live and work in 4 different countries, and traveled to over 25 in the past decade itself. Like a lion who tasted blood, I know I cannot ever stop traveling. Being in the travel industry allows me to engage with passionate travelers and help them explore this big blue planet. If I am not working, I am either reading, catching up on latest shows/movies (huge GoT fan) or keeping abreast of world events.

I have been a part of this dynamic travel industry for the last 9 years and it has been adventurous for me. Having stayed away from my family and friends was not easy but gave me time to travel though not very rigorously. I have been to the mountain’s multiple times and to beaches as many times. I find them both attractive. My dream destination would be the Swiss Alps and this region of beautiful Europe.

Not just sights and sounds, but also flavors entice me. I've tasted the essence of each region, celebrating its uniqueness. However, my wanderlust extends beyond India. I've embraced cultures worldwide – from Abu Dhabi's modernity to Indonesia's tropical charm and Saudi Arabia's diversity. A healthy lifestyle accompanies my travels, finding solace in hiking amidst majestic mountains. My travel passion isn't just personal; it inspires others. Through captivating stories and videos, I kindle wanderlust in fellow adventurers, celebrating Earth's wonders and heritage. As I continue my journey, may my tales inspire you to embark on transformative adventures. Let's embrace the unknown, relish moments, and uncover the beauty beyond the horizon.

For me, travel is more than a break—it's a soulful experience that brings calm, clarity, and joy. I’m drawn to peaceful destinations, whether nestled in the quiet of the mountains or beside the gentle rhythm of the sea. I love to swim, to feel the water wash away the noise of daily life. My travels are a way to recover, replenish, heal, and rejoice—each journey enriching my spirit in ways words can barely capture. I prefer road trips because they give me the freedom to explore at my own pace—stopping when I want, walking where I feel called, and soaking in the beauty of the unexpected. It’s in these unhurried moments that I feel most alive, most present, and most connected to the world and myself.

I’m Kanakavalli Anvekar—someone who spends her days juggling motherhood, stealing moments with a good book, and finding small pockets of calm (and occasional chaos) in everyday life.

Travel, for me, has never been about ticking off destinations or following a perfect itinerary—it’s about the stories that unfold in between. I love slow, unhurried journeys, the kind where you can wander without a plan, stumble upon hidden corners, strike up unexpected conversations, and collect moments that don’t make it to brochures but stay with you forever. I’m drawn to experiences that feel real, a little imperfect, and deeply personal.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: the best trips aren’t the ones that go exactly as planned—they’re the ones that give you stories you didn’t see coming.

Travel has been my greatest passion for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I have had the privilege of visiting all seven continents, each one offering unique experiences and perspectives.

Originally from Brazil and with a background in International Relations, I turned my passion for travel into a career helping others discover the world.

Africa holds a special place in my heart. It is my favorite continent and the destination that inspires me the most. Some of my most memorable travel experiences have been on safari, experiencing its incredible wildlife, stunning landscapes, and diverse cultures firsthand.

I love sharing my personal travel experiences and helping travelers create journeys that combine iconic sights with authentic local experiences. Whether it’s a European getaway, an African safari, an expedition to Antarctica, or a cultural adventure in Asia, I enjoy designing trips that create lasting memories.

Having explored all seven continents, I understand that every traveler is different, and my goal is always to create meaningful experiences tailored to each person's interests, travel style, and dreams.
