“I came to South East Asia in 2005 to work as a tour leader and soon fell in love with Vietnam. People often ask me which is my favourite place here and I explain that it is like asking which of your children you love the most. Hanoi is where I live and it is a vibrant and exotic Asian city, which combines chaos with elegance. As a foodie, this place is a paradise of exquisitely fresh flavours with recipes handed down through generations. It sure is a long way from my coastal Australian hometown of Queenscliff, Victoria. My working background has always been in hospitality, sports management and administration. Most recently I worked at Hawthorn Football Club as the Personal Assistant to the Chief Executive before moving to Asia. One of the great pleasures of working with Wide Eyed Tours is that I can share my passion for this unique and amazing region with our clients. Once I ask a few important questions from our clients I can quickly determine what they should see and do here that will maximise their time and give them the best possible holiday. Nothing makes me happier than helping others love South East Asia as much as I do.”
