Meet the team

Behind every SquakyTravels adventure, there’s a dedicated team of fluffy professionals!

Meet Bear John, our wise and experienced navigator; Laszlo, the courageous lion, always ready for a roaring good time; Otto, the loyal and playful pup, sniffing out the best local spots; Ameera who is ful of wisodom and financial smarts; and, of course, Imani Swift, our intrepid little kingfisher, the star of our travels.

Together, they bring you the whimsical and heartwarming stories from around the globe, captured through our Instagram, TikTok, and right here

Imani-Swift

Imani-Swift is the visionary leader behind our global adventures. With unwavering determination they ensure every journey is filled with discovery, wonder, and a touch of the unexpected. Imani-Swift's passion for exploration is matched only by their keen eye for detail and their ability to spot the hidden gems of every destination. 

When not charting our next course, Imani-Swift can be found perfecting their dive technique or pondering the mysteries of the universe from a high vantage point. They have a collection of rare feathers from around the globe. And they always make time for the best local fish or sushi.

Otto has a discerning knack for sniffing out local culinary gems. They are great at sampling street food in busy markets and indulging in gourmet meals. A keen runner, Otto can be found in parks or at the gym at sunrise to keep those calories in control - especially as the team's global cookie expert!
