A true local, I was born and bred in Wellington and grew up on western hills above Petone, a suburb on the northern edge of beautiful Wellington Harbour. After studying at the University of Otago, Dunedin, I lived and travelled throughout Asia where I learned what creates a great adventure holiday experience. Upon my return to Wellington, I founded my own small group tour company to make it easier for tourists to experience the local sights and flavours of the fascinating Wellington region. I have a passion for food, beer and wine and many of my tours focus around the wonderful local producers in the region. I'm also a keen sports fan with a particular obsession with cricket! With extensive local knowledge and experience I'm able to tailor tours to suit each and every guests particular interests and requirements! 10 years as an owner/operator of a local small group tour business Wellington Sustainable Tourism Programme 2021 None
