People often ask me how a Canadian ended up leading tours of the UK and Ireland. But with a British history degree and a huge passion for the literature, culture, and history of the region, I really couldn't imagine a more perfect job. I get to introduce other travellers to a region I'm proud to call my second home, and that makes for an immensely satisfying day of work, every day.
