Introduction:

I've lived all my life in Kent apart from two years working and studying in France and one year in Spain. I love travelling, and, in addition to guiding, I qualified with Peel Talent in 2017 as a Port and Destination Speaker on board cruise ships. I can give an international dimension to any visit to London or South-East England, and am able to guide in French or Spanish if required. One of my favourite places in the world is Leeds Castle in Kent - I used to live about three miles away, and never dreamed in my childhood that one day I would be taking groups around it! I am a history and genealogy enthusiast and have traced my family tree back to the Commonwealth period.

Please note that I am not a driver guide, nor do I have the endorsement for Windsor. And, as I live in East Kent, long day trips to anywhere west of London with early starts are quite awkward unless , for example, I am guiding on a coach travelling from Kent. It may also be difficult for me to accept work in London that starts early and finishes late, especially if I have work elsewhere the day before or after.
