"Originally a Police Officer from Brisbane, Australia, I joined the tourism industry in 2015 as a trip manager with Contiki who I spent 3 amazing years with showing young people around the Greek Islands, mainland Europe inc Scandinavia and South East Asia. In 2018 I took a break from coach travel and worked a summer season as a bike tour guide in Munich, Germany, with the world famous Mike's Bike Tours. In 2019 I returned to coach travel with Expat Explore and have loved every minute with this amazing company. In 2022 you will find me mostly running their Best of Greece tours, a 12 day tour of the mainland and the famous islands of Mykonos and Santorini. I hope to see you on board soon."
