Travelling has always been part of my life. So much so that I've made a career out of it! I've worked as a European Tour Guide for over 20 years and counting. I consider myself fortunate to have seen many far flung corners of our beautiful continent although I do believe it is becoming harder to find places of outstanding natural beauty which are still hidden away to feel unspoilt and unknown.

After graduating in 1996 I decided to travel to Australia from the UK by land and sea for a year. Passing through Turkey I was mesmerized by the country and especially the beauty of its Turquoise coast to the south. Promising myself there and then to have a home along the coast for my retirement, I decided instead to go ahead prematurely in 2001 at the age of 27. Armed with a map and an indomitable youthful spirit, I scoured the Turkish Turquoise coast for a month, often following word-of-mouth leads, knocking on people's doors, all in the name finding somewhere special away from the established tourist towns. My search finally came to an end at a stretch of coastline expertly concealed behind some hills on the outskirts of Demre town on Turkey's southern Turquoise coast.
