ISKL Peter Doornbos

Near the end of this time I met my first wife and we married, soon after which I joined Air New Zealand in a sales role. With Air NZ I travelled to London where we lived for 4 years (1982-86), and my first son Anthony was born. On returning to New Zealand I got divorced, and soon after was retrenched from Air NZ.

I went into travel, and managed a little suburban travel agency for a while before heading off to Sydney in 1993. I waited this long as I wanted to make sure Anthony could fly alone to come visit me, which he did religiously 4 times a year every year.

In 1998 I met Tina my wife, and we married later that year, we now have two great children Savannah and Alex. I work for a company called Galileo which is a Global Distribution Company for travel products, where I have recently taken on the role of Distribution Manager for the Travelport product.

The lifestyle in Sydney is great, fabulous beaches, good climate, lots to do. I also have got my private pilots licence since I've been here, so it has been good to me.

Regards Peter

Bio: Hmm

Well I left ISKL in Feb 1974 due to my Father having to return to New Zealand for health reasons. I spent a year at high school in New Zealand, but hated it.

I left school and joined a shipping company in NZ with a view to going to sea as a purser, but as there was shipping downturn, the prospects were slim. I changed companies and went to sea on the ferries that operate between the north and south islands of New Zealand. A very exciting and adventurous 4 odd years.
