David Conklin
Head of Australia
Inspired by our mission to broaden students’ perspectives and change their lives, Dave joined WorldStrides in 2015, intending to make educational travel a reality for students across Canada. He led Sales, Land Operations, Customer Care, and On-Tour Support and as a CPA, dedicated his time to make educational travel more affordable for Canadian students. He now oversees WorldStrides Australia.
Dave began his lifelong travel journey on a family trip to Egypt in 1984. Since then, he’s been lucky enough to visit 6 of the 7 continents with only Antarctica still on the list. Some favourites include a year in South Korea teaching English, a family trip to the island of Nevis, and a birdwatching trip to Costa Rica. When he’s not travelling, Dave enjoys golfing, playing hockey and spending quality time outdoors birdwatching, gardening or firing up the BBQ. Dave and his wife Meegan have one daughter, Sarah, who is currently at University studying Environmental Engineering.
