Aaron Yeak has been travelling since the age of 2. For him travel is all about how you can grow and gain perspective of others. He loves taking his learnings and applying them into his life and business back home.

About Aaron

Aaron is driven from within. He is an entrepreneur, traveller, and lover of great coffee and people’s stories. His career spans Formula 1, sport and recreation, management consulting and now takes him on a business journey with an unknown destination. Much like his travel he enjoys the journey as well as the destination in life and business and takes every opportunity to see the world through the eyes and footprints of others. Aaron is documenting his business journey to a “destination unknown” and has also written a book about his career transitions from standing track side at motor sport events to inside boardrooms as a management consultant.

From the age of 2, Aaron has been fortunate to have spent multiple periods overseas including studying in China, Austria and Finland. As well as travelling to over 40 countries throughout Europe, Australasia, Asia and North America. Much of his time abroad has been spent exploring the local scene with friends who are locals.

“Your mindset, in the moment, is so important as has the potential to be an enriching experience or something you can grow from and learn from or something you can get stuck on and go on a bit of a negative spiral which you really don’t want to be in when you’re away from your comfort zone.”
