Travel that's about the people and the stories, not only the sights.

I've guided travellers across Europe for more than fifteen years. I was born in Ukraine, grew up in Australia, and studied history at the University of Adelaide. What makes a journey memorable, I've come to believe, is rarely the list of sights. It's the people you share it with, and having someone alongside who knows how to bring a place to life.

My job, quite simply, is to handle the details so you can relax and take it in. The best of any country is usually what you'd never find on your own: the family table down an unmarked road, or the cellar that's been in the same hands for generations. Knowing where those doors are, and opening them for you, is the heart of what I do.
