Ayrielle Dijkstra

Three words to describe me:: Caring, adventurous, positive!
My dream job:: To take a group of young adults around the world to do humanitarian work. I love helping others, so why not volunteer as I travel.?
Most exciting travel trend:: Instagram. People post pictures of their amazing travels which inspires others to get out and do the same.
One thing I can’t travel without:: Puzzle books. Whether it’s Cryptograms or Sudoku, it keeps me entertained for hours and really comes in handy on long flights and layovers.
In 10 years, I see myself:: Married with kids and working in the travel industry at home, so I can still travel and have time to be with my kids.
My favourite travel experience:: I got to travel with my amazing class to experience all that Northern Vietnam had to offer. We experienced unique food, different cultures, and extravagant landscapes.
On my bucket list:: My top three destinations are Greece, South Africa, and Thailand.
My greatest achievement (so far):: Becoming a Baxter Student Ambassador. It is such an honour to win such an amazing opportunity!
Best travel advice I’ve received:: To learn some of the local language. Not only are you going to be able to communicate better, but the locals love it and you will feel less like a tourist.
