Tours since 2024PRO
Passionate about history and culture, I have worked for over 10 years in tourism and hospitality as a trip planner, travel leader and marketing sales for private and public companies. Meeting people from all over the world is something I like and I also like to travel. I have lived in Barcelona, London, Perth and Brisbane! Provence missed me too much, that's why I decided to return. I am still committed to showing the best of Provence and France to my guests!
