Ian Carlo Flores, Director of Tours and Development
Born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Ian joined the Down Under Adventure Company in May 2008.

Ian is the director of day to day operations, sales and operations and works in conjunction with Alison to work on overall marketing strategy in making exclusive and wonderful journeys accessible to as many people possible.

He brings his passion, expertise and attention to details to deliver the highest caliber trips to each and every client.

He lived, worked, and studied in Melbourne, Australia for four years prior to moving back to Florida. While in Australia, he traveled, camped, hiked, snorkeled and dove extensively around the main land, as well as in Tasmania and New Zealand. Most weekends were spent visiting the vast national parks system in Victoria and other areas such as the Grampians, Croajingolong, the award-winning wineries in the Yarra Ranges, the Great Ocean Road, and some time on a multi-day hike in Tasmania.

Ian also spent a considerable amount of time viewing other areas of Australia including the east coast from the Sydney and the surrounding Blue Mountains, up to Byron Bay and in Queensland.

As an avid diver he took the opportunity to spend a lot of time underwater at the Great Barrier Reef getting a firsthand look at this natural wonder.

Some other parts of the world Ian has visited include: Australia, Canada (British Columbia), Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, France, Germany, India, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Namibia, New Zealand, Peru, Samoa, Switzerland, Thailand and parts of the continental US.
