Background

About Manuel Lima

I’m a Portuguese professional with a passion for travel, people, and creating unforgettable experiences. My journey started in competitive surfing, spending a decade riding waves in national contests. It taught me discipline, focus, and how to perform under pressure—skills I bring into every sales role I take on. From teaching surf at 15 to earning a degree in Tourism & Leisure Experience Management, I’ve always been drawn to roles that connect with people. Moving to Australia in 2019 expanded that path. I explored coast to coast, worked across industries, and discovered that sales is where I truly thrive. Since then, I’ve worked with lifestyle and surf brands like Billabong and Surf Dive 'n Ski (Boardriders Group), and I now help people plan dream vacations as a Personal Cruise Consultant at Norwegian Cruise Line. What I bring to the table- 10+ years in customer-facing roles - Sales-driven with a relationship-first mindset - Fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish - Background in adventure tourism & lifestyle retail - CRM-savvy, remote-ready, and globally minded I’m always open to connecting with like-minded professionals in sales, travel, lifestyle, and hospitality.
