"Before joining the Tourism Industry i used to frequently travel across South East Asia and Australia working in the Oil and Gas Industry.
I then took the leap of a lifetime into the whirlwind industry of touring and travelling for Contiki back in 2014 and haven't looked back since.
Starting in Europe i progressed into the regional specific area of Great Britain and Ireland before eventually returning to where it all started with me in South East Asia.
I currently specialise in Trips in Japan, India and Vietnam."
