GUIDED TOURS

I am a twin and grew up near Bristol. I spent 3 years working in Hong Kong and then 27 years working in London. I qualified as a Blue Badge Guide for the South West in December 2014. Having been born in Africa and having worked in the Far East, I have always loved travel and been fascinated by other cultures. I guide specifically in Bristol and Bath. My primary interest is that of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the integral slave economy that operated in Britain, and I conduct walks on this subject in both Bristol and Bath. The Transatlantic Slave Trade, its history, its legacy and its relevance to the modern world is a continuing area of study for me.
