Introduction:
I am 47 years old and grew up in Yorkshire in the North of England. I first moved to London in 1990 and it is where I still call home today. I studied American Studies at Liverpool University and also spent a year studying at the University of Rhode Island in the USA. After 4 years of office work I retrained as a fitness trainer and moved to Sydney, Australia for 18 months where I worked at the 2000 Olympic Games. Two years later I worked on Cruise Ships in the Caribbean. In 2005 I trained as a Primary School Teacher and still do a lot of work with schools today. I also worked as a Tour Director for 6 years taking American High School Students around the UK and Ireland. With my varied occupational history I am accustomed to working with all nationalities from all walks of life. I look forward to sharing my local knowledge and personal experience of London and its surrounds with you and your group.
