Charli Robinson has everyone’s dream job – she wants you to know the truth

Exclusive: Charli Robinson has the dream gig as a Getaway presenter and 23 years after landing the job she says she can’t see herself ever leaving.

Robinson, 46, has worked on Getaway for half her life. She was first plucked for the job when she was a fresh-faced Hi-5 performer and over the decades she’s travelled to some of the farthest corners of the globe.

The job has its obvious perks and highlights, the only rare pitfall is the time she travels away from her fiancé Liam and two daughters Kensington, seven, and Theadora, five.

Even then, the flexibility of the work means that her girls get to tag along to local travel shoots in Queensland.

For Robinson, it’s a small price to pay considering the far-reaching destinations she knows she’s privileged to travel to including Singapore, New Zealand and the US.

“It’s such an incredible job. I can’t ever see myself wanting to leave. I get butterflies and excitement every time I’m about to leave for a trip,” Robinson beamed.

“I think that’s very rare to say about a job and I’ve been working in the entertainment industry since I was 15.

“To still be just as excited about the job and get that fire in your belly because you know it’s something that you’re just so passionate about it.”

Robinson doesn’t see herself slowing down any time soon but said she’ll know it’s time to stop if she ever stops being passionate about being in front of the camera.

It’s not just the travel that keeps Robinson going. She has a genuine care for the loyal audience and loves taking people across the globe when they might not get the chance to travel themselves.

“I love the idea that my job takes me to places that my family get to enjoy and watch from the comfort of their lounge room, but they still get to see and explore these places through watching Getaway.”

Robinson knows there are plenty of online creators spruiking destinations but knows that Getaway has a “trusted” edge they don’t have.

“I think with Getaway, it’s a very trusted brand and I’m so proud to put my face to it.

“We would never promote anything that doesn’t reach the standards of what we’d want our own families to go and experience.”
