About

I love to tell stories and help others. I am an educator and I teach English as a second language but I always had the need to take things out of the classroom. In 2010, I started working as a Tour Director with schools visiting Greece from the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, and the UAE. Besides the great teachers and students I met, it was an amazing opportunity to bring my Greek students in touch with some native speakers of their age. I used all sorts of techniques during this time. History, philosophy, and mythology were my best companions. This experience inspired me to create my own little learning adventure; out of classrooms and into galleries and museums, around hills and squares: The Talking Rambler.
