“To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?”

About Me
I have fifteen years’ experience as a tour guide in several cities around Europe but I have now settled in London.
I am fascinated by the story of human civilisation, from humanity's earliest origins in Africa to the age of exploration and how citizens won the right to vote, and it is my mission to share that passion with others.
My background is in ancient history and archaeology. I also have an interest in modern history, politics, science and the history of exploration.
I have designed a number of unique tours, activities and experiences that take advantage of London and its extraordinary museums to give people a greater understanding of humanity's most important stories.
