About me, Jake Hower
With 20 years in the travel industry, I’m an expert in planning great travel experiences. I’m good at sorting out complex airfares and routes. I also love luxury and expedition cruising, which are really popular now.
I’ve owned Pan Australian Travel since 2009, where we focus on excellent service and custom travel plans.
For years, I’ve arranged golf trips and played golf all over the world. In early 2023, I decided to focus on golf travel, and that’s how Golfwide started.
Here’s a few fun facts about me:
- I live in Sorrento
- My home course is Portsea Golf Club
- I briefly got to a 1.8 handicap
- My favourite course on the Peninsula is the St Andrews Beach Golf Gunnamatta Course
