Daniel Lew, Frank Guerra & Mohsin Hamza

Daniel Lew - COO Exploroo

One day, Frank introduced Daniel to a great idea and business plan for a project he had been thinking about for a while. Because of their great friendship, as well as their common Australian background, Daniel was more than happy to sign on and agreed to Franks offer. The combination of 25 years of network marketing experience that Frank had and the 15 years of marketing and SEO experience had ensured this project was going to be successful.

There were four main reasons why Daniel believed Franks idea was going to be successful:

1.    The Name: Exploroo, a combination of explore and kangaroo, is very brandable and easy to remember for potential clients

2.    The Niche: The travel industry is one of the largest in the world. It is also underserved by innovated new ideas and websites

3.    The Network: Injecting a social network structure into a travel related website is a very popular idea

4.    The Affiliates: The two tier affiliate marketing system has been proven successful in the past, and with Frank and Daniels passion and drive,  it is sure to be effective.

Daniel currently serves as the COO and is the second largest shareholder of Exploroo, which is registered and trademarked in Australia.
Explore Who? Exploroo!

After completing his education, Frank worked on his families’ sugar cane farm for many years.  He enjoyed short stints in the real estate industry as well as being employed as an express courier. About 25 years ago, Frank discovered network marketing, and has been hooked ever since. He fell in love with the idea of meeting new people, who ran their own unique small businesses, as he traveled the globe.

As Frank traveled through New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and USA, he made many good friends. Frank has finally settled in Bangkok, where he is the CEO of a network marketing company, Xansiam.

Frank eventually decided to start a family. He now has two sons: Evan, who is 22 years old, and Daniel, who is 18. Both his son’s have an active role in operating Exploroo!

Frank looks forward to continue developing new friendships and exploring new ventures in the world of social networking!

(If you don’t know what Exploroo is, head over to this page and find out.)

On January 1st, 2004, Frank Guerra was diagnosed with Tinitus, a rare condition that causes an unbearable ringing that frank had in both ears. You could just imagine how much stress this would cause, and due to Frank being unable to work effectively for over 2 years, he lost the small fortune he had previously amassed.

Hungry for ideas to pass the time when he could not sleep at night, Frank consulted friend and fellow Exploroo shareholder Michael Prichard (http://www.michaelprichard.com). Michael suggested Frank consider investing in domain names. Due to the lack of quality domain names available and the poor market at the time, this caused Frank even more stress.

One of the first domains Frank registered was www.nonamehotel.com, which he still owns today. Frank has always had a desire to run a successful travel website, so after some planning, he eventually developed www.hotelbackpacker.com. While this satisfied some of his desires, he was not totally happy with the effectiveness of this website. He knew he needed something bigger, and a more brandable domain name that people would easily remember.

After brainstorming over 500 different names, most of which were unavailable, Frank made a breakthrough. He took the name explore, removed the re off the end, and added roo from the word kangaroo, thus creating Exploroo. Being Australian, Frank knew the worldwide popularity of the word kangaroo and the symbolism of unbashful exploration it represented.

He quickly rushed over to his favorite domain registrar and checked to see if it was available. All this at 3 Am on the 7 -5-2008  To his delight, it was! He fumbled around, looking for a credit card that would work. Finally, he found one, and Exploroo, as well as over 30 related domains, were his.

Over the next 6 months, Frank assembled a top quality team of like minded people who saw the same vision that Frank did. One of these people, Andrew Macgregor, introduced Frank to a business associate of his: Daniel Lew. After a few weeks of friendly back and fourth conversation, Frank divulged his big plans for Exploroo. Daniel saw the need for a powerful travel related social networking site and was instantly captivated. Daniels strong work ethic and belief in the original concept has been a major asset in the development of Exploroo. This strong bond continues to this day, and everybody is excited about the future prospects of Exploroo! Frank has even brought on board his two sons, Evan (22) and Daniel (18), whose primary role will be helping youth travellers, while having active input on the operation of the site.

The Exploroo team strongly believes they have the next big thing, a great social network which will allow travelers from everywhere in the world to share their exciting travel experiences!

With a very small population of just under 10,000 people, Innisfail offers a quaint village feeling with friendly people and lots of sights to see and exciting activities to partake in.Innisfail is well kwown for 3 great rugby league players lional Williamson, Kerry Boustead and Current Australian representative player Billy Slater in 2008 he was voted best player in the world, to catch up with the local rugby league team go to http://www.brothersinnisfail.com.au/

Originally inhabited by aboriginal people for thousands of years, a shipwreck off the coast in 1872 forced Europeans ashore to seek shelter. Dazzled by the beauty of this area as well as it’s abundance of natural resources, the Europeans decided to settle here. The settlers started developing the sugar industry, which was the driving force behind the eventual development of this town. More and more European immigrants began to settle here, helping to further develop the sugar cane and banana industry. There are large populations of Italians, Greeks, and many other ethnic groups who form a diverse and culturally compelling community here.

If you are an avid fisherman, or just want to spend some time on the water, Innisfail does not dissapoint. Located near two major rivers and relatively close to the ocean, Innisfail offers some of the best freshwater as well as saltwater fishing anywhere in Australia. You can charter a small fishing boat with a guide to take you offshore, but there are also numerous locations on shore that offer action packed fishing.

A great attraction to visit while around the Innisfail area is the Paronella Park. Just outside of town, this Spanish inspired tourist location has survived fire, several floods and a cyclone to continue wowing visitors with it’s beautiful botanical gardens and multiple waterfalls. This is a beautiful place to wander through and soak in the sights. You can go exploring alone, or take one of the many daily guided tours of the grounds.

Innisfail gained worldwide notoriety when in 2006, Cyclone Larry ripped through the town causing severe damage. Not only were many homes severely damaged or destroyed altogether, the banana and sugar crops, which are the main economic drivers of this small community, were wiped out.  And the town has since made a very strong recovery.

Innisfail is a great town to visit. To really understand what Australia is all about and to appreciate locations off the usual tourist path, you should really spend some time in small towns like Innisfail. You will gain a greater appreciation of the history and importance of the area!

If you are near the northern part of Australia, the Kakadu National Park is a fantastic place to visit. Located 171km southeast of Darwin, the Kakadu is over 7500 square miles of Australian wildife and botanical adventure.

The wildlife that you might encounter in the Kakadu National Park varies greatly.  If you are near one of the many small bodies of water, you might encounter a freshwater crocodile, one of two species that call this park home. While it might be hard to see some animals during the daytime, due to their nocturnal nature, if you visit in the early morning or later at night, you may be able to spot a wallaby or a kangaroo.

Not only are the animals in the Kakadu National Park interesting, the plants and vegetation that surrounds them is also worth noting. With over 1700 different species of plants, you are sure to find something beautiful everywhere you look. Vibrant, colorful flowers and oddly shaped trees make the landscape of the Kakadu National Park just as beautiful and compelling as the wildlife that frolic around it.

For the art lover, Kakadu contains some of the most exquisite and detailed aboriginal rock art in Australia. Nowhere else in the world will you find as many precious examples of this centuries old art. Located at various points around the park, this art depicts hunting scenes, religious figures and complete stories, passed down through the generations of aboriginal people who used to live here.

If you are a little intimidated by the vast size and mystery of the Kakadu, there are many services available to help make your experience enjoyable. There are tour guides available that are very knowledgeable about the park, and can even take you on a guided tour. You can also drive around alone if you choose.

Kakadu National Park is a great place to go and check out. Even if you are not into wildlife or the outdoors, you will be amazed at some of the things you will see.

A great place to break away from the typical tourist activities and actually learn about the country of Australia is Alice Springs.

Located almost 1000 miles north of Adelaide, Alice Springs is a rarely visited desert town with a very rich cultural history.

Surrounded by numerous gouges, water holes and mountain ranges, Alice Springs and it’s surrounding area has been inhabited by aboriginals for over 50,000 years.

In the early 1860’s, European explorers passed through the area while looking for a location for a repeater station for a telegraph line. Satisfied with it’s location between Darwin and Adelaide, the site was chosen and settlement began to occur. As time went on, Alice Springs became more valuable, due to it’s location at almost the exact center of the continent. The introduction of a rail line between Darwin, Alice Springs and Adelaide further sped up development and economic productivity. Alice Springs has continued to develop into a town of almost 28,000 inhabitants at the present time.

One of the most famous natives of Alice Springs is the world-renowned artist Albert Namtjira. Born in 1902, Albert was raised as a Christian, but at the age of 16, he returned to the outback and began embracing Arrernte (Australian indigenous culture) tradition. Through his experiences with the beautiful Australian outback, he developed the ability to reproduce the beautiful scenes he has witnessed through painting. He shared his paintings with others who could not witness the beautiful things he saw. After other people saw the incredible detail and unique perspective of his paintings, he began to gain wealth and fame. He continued to paint beautiful scenes and help support his fellow Arrernte until his death in 1959.

Exploring the history of often forgotten areas of Australia and unique people that make these areas special is an experience that should not be ignored. If you travel to Australia, take some time, stray away from the normal tourist attractions and explore the history and important people that helped Australia develop into the beautiful place it is today.

Known as one of the seven natural wonders of the world, The Great Barrier Reef is the largest underwater coral reef system on the planet. Contrary to popular belief, the Great Barrier Reef is not just one giant piece of coral, but a system of almost 3,000 individual reefs and 1,000 small islands. It is over 1500 miles long and houses over 1000 different species of wildlife. It truly is an incredible sight!

One of the great features of the Great Barrier Reef is the diverse marine wildlife that calls this area home. From rare and colorful fish, to ancient sea turtles and various species of whales, the Great Barrier Reef is a great place to visit for someone who is interested in rare and endangered wildlife.

One of the best ways to actually see some of this wildlife is to go scuba diving. You can swim right up to some of the wildlife and get an up close look at some of the most rare species of fish and turtles on earth. If you have never taken scuba lessons or just don’t like swimming, don’t worry. You can go on a glass bottom boat, which gives a fantastic view from above, all while keeping you dry and safe.

Want to get a birds eye view of the Great Barrier Reef? No Problem! There are numerous companies that arrange helicopter tours over the reef and the surrounding area. Remember, you can see the Great Barrier Reef from outer space, so imagine what it looks like from just a few thousand feet above the water. I promise, it is like nothing you’ve ever seen!

It would be a huge mistake to take a trip to the Great Barrier Reef and not visit some of the surrounding islands and shorelines. Beautiful beaches filled with even more interesting species of wildlife (some exclusive to this area of the world) create a beautiful tropical setting for spending an afternoon wandering around or working on your tan.

If you are visiting the Queensland area of Australia, you must take the time to go visit the Great Barrier Reef and the surrounding islands and beaches. You won’t be sorry!

The Olgas are located about 365km’s southwest of Alice Springs. This group of 36 rock formations, composed of mostly basalt, granite and sandstone, rises 1066m above sea level at its highest point.

Ayers Rock is located 335km’s southwest of Alice Springs. Like the Olgas, this rock formation is made primarily of sandstone. While not as tall as the Olgas, Ayers Rock rises 863m above sea level.

The land formations are beautiful to look at, but the surrounding vegetation and wildlife should not be ignored. There are usually locals around who are more than willing to tell you about the surrounding area. From rare and almost extinct plants to species of animals that only live in this part of Australia, the surrounding Uluru - Kata Tjuta National Park has something interesting for everybody. And if you are worried about the heat in the Australian outback, just make sure you don’t visit this area in the middle of the day. It can get pretty warm, but if hot temperatures are not for you, just visit these areas in the morning or in the beginning of the evening. The climate should not deter you from visiting this beautiful site, though.

There are a few things that you should know about Ayers Rock and the Olgas before you go and visit. Since these rock formations (especially Ayers Rock) are spiritual symbols to the local aboriginal people, you must treat them with respect and not just as a tourist attraction. There are a few places you can take pictures of Ayers Rock, but many places forbid or strongly frown upon photography. Also, it is best to just look at the rock formations from the pre built observation decks, and not try to climb them. Not only is it a safety issue, but the local aboriginals don’t want tourists crossing a sacred dreamtime track that the path crosses. These limitations do not decrease the amount of enjoyment you will receive from viewing these incredible masses of land. It is just good taste to respect the locals and their traditions.

Brisbane is a very large tropical paradise with almost 2 million residents. With a very warm climate and beautiful weather, Brisbane is a destination of choice for many people who visit Australia. There are many attractions to see and many different ways to soak in the Australian culture. Why not rent a bike for the day and ride around the almost 30 km of dedicated bike trails that follow the Brisbane river? If that’s not your thing, head over to the botanical gardens and check out the beautiful and colorful plants they have. Do you like wildlife? Take a trip to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, the first of it’s kind anywhere in the world. Not matter what your interests are, Brisbane has something that will keep you amused.

It does not take that long to travel from Brisbane down to the Gold Coast. All you have to do is hop in a car or on a bus, and take a very short trip south.

The Gold Coasts largest attraction are its beaches. Meticulously groomed and always busy with beautiful people, the beaches are a great place to relax all day, work on your tan, and even go surfing. There is nothing like spending time in the nice, warm sun, splashing around in the water and forgetting about the stressful life that awaits you when your vacation is done.

After a day of hanging out on the beach, the Gold Coasts many incredible restaurants and lounges are a great way to finish off the day. With so many different choices, you’re sure to find something you like. From traditional Australian food, to Asian fusion, and upscale French restaurants, The Gold Coast has it all. Don’t worry about finding a place to stay overnight. The Gold Coast has many trendy hotels in many different price ranges that will definitely satisfy your needs.
