Passions Of Paradise Catamaran Sailing the Great Barrier Reef

To my fellow travelers, backpackers, or anyone interested in an amazing time...

My name is Leah Johnston and I am Passions of Paradise newest intern. I am currently a senior at Western Washington University in America majoring in Recreation and Leisure. While this major encompasses numerous fields of recreation including outdoor, community, and therapeutic, I have decided to concentrate my focus on the tourism industry. In this field, I learn about tourism planning and development, budget and financing, and even the principles and practices of ecotourism.

I am 20 years old and am interested in all kinds of things including running, hiking, diving, volleyball, skiing, and all in all – adventure. I am living in Australia as a way to both challenge myself, grow as an individual, and maybe a little bit of an excuse to get out of Washington’s weather. This experience is once in a lifetime for a starving college student like me and I would love for you to be a part of it!

Until August 13th, I will be interning in Cairns to learn the ins and outs of the tourism industry while working on the Australian Tourism Award winning boat, Passions of Paradise. If you would like to hear more about my days out on the boat, follow me at www.passionsintern.blogspot.com

Cheers!
Leah Johnston
