Meet The Founders
Two best mates wanting to share their travels with the world.
Who Are We?
Hi! We're Ben Talty and Fletcher Baker, two best mates who grew up together in Muswellbrook. Our shared love for rugby league has been a cornerstone of our friendship, with Fletcher now based in Brisbane and Ben in Sydney. Whether it's on the field or off, our bond remains strong, and we're excited to share our journey with you.
Why did you start Nefertum?
Nefertum came to life during our trip to Egypt last year, a destination that had been on our bucket list since we started traveling. We make it a point to go on a trip every off-season, and this particular adventure was especially inspiring. Named after the god of beauty and aromatherapy, Nefertum represents the culmination of ideas that fell into place perfectly, giving birth to our brand.
What are your favourite memories from Egypt?
The pyramids were the main reason we wanted to visit Egypt, especially since we didn't know anyone who had been before. Our journey took us south of Cairo and then onto Luxor. The Nile River was fascinating, and we enjoyed a cruise on felluca boats. We then ventured to Hurghada, where we stayed by the beautiful Red Sea.
