Martina Sammut
Senior Travel Advisor


Martina graduated with a B.A. (Hons) in Tourism Studies from the University of Malta.
She has travelled to Spain, Andorra, France, Slovenia, Austria, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Czech Republic,  Hungary, Romania, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, Morocco, Vietnam and Singapore.

One of her favourite places is Edinburgh and Scotland in general, where she lived for four months.  "The city is very welcoming and you will never find yourself bored and with nothing to do there", explains Martina.

As she started her career with Compass Travel, she has had the opportunity to meet new people, learn about new destinations and also about different ways of planning a holiday. "There’s never a day that is the same as another and you always need to keep yourself up-to-date because it is such a fast-paced and dynamic industry 😊".  She enjoys seeing clients fall in love with a destination when they start learning about it and understanding what it has to offer.

Kylie Cauchi
Travel Executive

She also had the opportunity to live abroad in England, Croatia and Finland attending university and carrying out internships.

She enjoys learning about destinations, managing social media and planning. She is a dedicated team member and strives to help clients in their travel arrangements.
