The History of England: From Tribes to Bribes.
As a London native, my travels across the globe have ignited a passion for sharing the hidden gems and untold stories of the city. After several years of teaching English, I decided to combine my twin passions of history and travel and become a tour guide, so that I can show visitors the undiscovered and lesser-known parts of my amazing city. A history enthusiast at heart, I also love watching and playing sports, as well as escaping the city for a hike and immersing myself in nature.
