Guide profile:

Born in the USA, schooled, worked and lived in Switzerland (throughout Europe) during my teens and early adulthood, I arrived permanently in Australia in 1988. For several years in Europe and Australia, I organised and operated educational tours and holiday camps for youth from around the world. In 1993, I began touring Australia and New Zealand full-time with adults, equally from around the world.

I feel genuinely privileged to accompany visitors on their 'once-in-a-lifetime' discovery of this magnficent region.

If we travel together, I can guarantee you a fascinating, complete, informative and revelatory (= unforgettable!) experience on your holiday 'down under'!

Please do get in touch!

PS: Yes, I know I live in BrisVegas and that's a photo of Sydney's Opera House and Harbour Bridge....they're a touch more recognisable and let you know I do most of my travel outside of Brisbane!
