Hi, I’m Alex Pilarski, your travel agent at Travelglobe, and I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all holidays. Every journey I design starts with one simple thing: listening. Because behind every trip is a story waiting to be told. Are you chasing pure relaxation, a thrill-filled adventure, a meaningful connection, or that satisfying “finally ticking it off the list” moment?

Over the years, I’ve helped families make unforgettable memories across Singapore and Malaysia (yes, Legoland always ends up being the highlight), curated smooth, stress-free itineraries for business travellers who practically live at the airport, and sent clients on once-in-a-lifetime adventures to Antarctica, Yellowstone National Park, and even to Japan to host wellness retreats.

But my heart? It belongs to Southeast Asia. From Singapore’s skyline to Malaysia’s laksa, I’ve explored this part of the world time and again, yet it’s Vietnam that keeps calling me back. I’ve built lasting relationships with local tour operators, hoteliers, and tourism partners there, and I’ve had the privilege of attending ITE HCMC twice to strengthen those connections. Whether it’s the electric buzz of Hanoi, the calm rhythm of Hue, or the lantern-lit charm of Hoi An, Vietnam isn’t just a favourite destination for me, it’s part of my travel story.

And then there’s MotoGP, my not-so-secret passion. I love transforming race weekends into full travel experiences, whether it’s the roar of the track in Sepang, the coastal thrill of Phillip Island, or the excitement of a back-to-back doubleheader. For me, it’s never just about the race; it’s about the journey and the adventure that surrounds it.

Funny enough, I once swore I’d never go on a cruise… until I did. Now, I’m completely hooked. As a proud CLIA member, I love helping clients find the right cruise line and itinerary, from first-timers testing the waters to seasoned cruisers looking for their next ocean escape.

One of my proudest moments so far? Being named a finalist for Rookie of the Year at the National Travel Industry Awards, a reminder that passion, care, and genuine connection still mean everything in this industry.

Because for me, travel isn’t just about where you go. It’s about how it makes you feel.

Let’s make your next trip one worth remembering.

A little fun travel fact:
One of my favourite places in the world is Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Before the pandemic, I travelled there so often that it became my home away from home. It still makes people laugh when I tell them that whenever I fly back to Australia from Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN), I always make one last stop before heading home – I hop into a taxi, grab the best Vietnamese pork roll in the city, and enjoy it in a nearby park before catching another cab to continue my journey. Because sometimes, the smallest traditions are the ones that make travel truly special.
