"I'm a language, history and culture geek from Brisbane Australia who is travelling the world and making it bleed orange as a Busabout Tour Guide.
2019 has seen me guide over 19 countries and 55 cities throughout Europe, help 150 festival goers navigate Tomorrowland, the world largest music festival, guided tours off the beaten track in Eastern Europe, and even navigated the stunning Turkish Coastline for 12 weeks as the Sail Turkey guide, where I really got to make the trip my own and nurture it into what I believe is Busabout's best tour. While it doesn't really feel like work to me, I feel honoured that my fellow colleagues at Busabout have awarded me Crew Member of the Year, Bleeding Orange (Company Award), and Social Media Gun for the year of 2019. I'm currently looking forward to working the next 18 months across Busabout Vietnam and Cambodia.
I started my career as an events team leader and MC for Nova 106.9 in Brisbane Australia, before moving to sales and marketing. Since graduating a bachelor of Mass Communications majoring in Advertising and Entertainment, I now love turning my great passions into a career - these are; good people, good drinks, good food, good music, travel, culture and history! I can't wait to see what 2020 holds."
