Gypsy Queens Profile

Gypsy Queens, aka Abbie and Emma, are two Aussie based girls suffering from a chronic travel bug syndrome. The Gypsy Queens will be carrying the AirAsia flag at the 2009 Lanka Challenge. We are two colleagues and friends working in destination marketing in Australia with an absolute passion for the tourism industry. By incorporating all of the above, swapping cocktails for curries and high heels for three wheels we look forward to making some great new friends while taking part in this fantastic adventure/initiative. It is about time we give our time and efforts in the name of charity and what better way than to have fun along the way?! We are two akin spirits, born only three days apart but in different corners of the world, who relish new opportunities, challenges and adventures. Our antics are generally fuelled by our mutual enthusiasm of lattes and vino tinto, typically resulting in belly clenching laughter. Just do not be deceived, although our navigational traits are somewhat clichéd, we are sure to make it to the end… Without revealing too many of our team strategies; ‘paper- scissors- rock’ has proven a trustworthy tactic in the past! We cannot wait to make the hop, skip and jump from Surfers to Ceylon! See you all there… |
