In this episode of the Travel Agent Achievers Podcast, I’m thrilled to welcome Claire Baines, CEO of Hands Across the Water and an absolute powerhouse when it comes to creating experiences that truly matter. Claire isn’t your typical travel professional, but her journey from the world of corporate events to leading one of the most impactful experience-based charities is nothing short of inspiring. We dive into her story on how a passion for events and a single moment of saying “yes” to a charity bike ride led her to a life and career filled with purpose, connection, and heart.

Claire opens up about the challenges and joys of running a purpose-driven organisation, sharing how she balances strategy and heart as she leads a team across multiple countries. She talks candidly about the pressure of sustaining a charity through global upheaval, and how resilience, creativity, and a strong sense of community helped Hands Across the Water not just survive, but thrive during the toughest times. We explore the magic that keeps people coming back year after year for their immersive experiences in Thailand, and how the human connections formed on these journeys create memories and impact that last a lifetime.

If you’ve ever wondered how to infuse more meaning into your travel business, or how you can make a genuine difference while still running a successful operation, Claire’s insights will leave you feeling motivated and full of ideas. We also chat about systems, scaling, and the importance of never losing sight of the personal touch, even as you grow. Whether you’re dreaming of leading your own group trip, looking for new ways to give back, or just need a reminder of the power of community, this episode is for you.
