    Originally from the UK, now living in Greece, I moved to Athens in 2020 and have created and launched the men’s yoga & wellness retreat project ‘AthensFlow’. Now in it’s 4th season, we continue to explore Greece, embrace community, share cultures & celebrate authenticity.

    In Greece, my dream days are spent by the sea & feeling free! I try to keep my focus on health & wellness, and I enjoy trying new things, so I’m currently obsessed with sound baths and immersing myself in these experiences. I always try and make time for the gym, yoga and spin classes…this way I can enjoy long guilt-free Sunday afternoons in a local tavern enjoying a little wine and too much Greek food!

    In London, you can definitely find me spending hours in coffee shops somewhere east and wishing I could take all the flowers of Columbia Road back home with me.

    And I didn’t even mention Eurovision….but feel free to ask!

    Mainly, I love travel, Greece & my community. So sharing my knowledge and creating bespoke, unique and inclusive holidays is a real pleasure!

    CO-FOUNDER & TRAVEL CONSULTANT

    Born and raised under the Greek sun, I hopped over to London on a “short-term adventure” and here I am, nearly 20 years later, still calling one of Europe’s most electrifying cities home.

    A researcher and writer by day, a restless explorer by heart. I dipped my toes into travel with small European escapes, before start chasing bigger thrills; island-hopping in Thailand, diving into crystal-clear waters in Panama, and conquering the epic trails of the Himalayas in Nepal. From the vibrant streets of Buenos Ayres to the jungles of Borneo, and the deserts of Jordan to the temples of Kyoto, I’ve roamed through over 60 countries, and still hungry for more.

    You'll usually find me wandering cobbled backstreets, unearthing hidden gems, hunting for vintage treasures at flea markets, sharing stories over a glass of wine, and chasing the tiny, magical details that turn a place from a dot on the map into a living memory.

    For me, travel is about feeling a city’s heartbeat, meeting the people who give it soul, uncovering the corners most people miss and all those experiences that make you feel alive. When I’m not out exploring, I channel that same passion into crafting unforgettable trips.

    That’s the spirit I bring to every journey I help create.

    South London has been my home from day 1, and my heart still belongs to London- it’s where I met Ian and Sarra after all! But I’m always planning my next trip and I love exploring Europe and beyond!

    The height of summer sunshine is not for me, so you’re more likely to see my walking thousands of steps and soaking up the art & culture in Rome or Naples at springtime, hanging out in Williamsburg or chasing the Northern Lights in Reykjavik.

    My background is in dance, from performance to production, starting from dancing in London’s gay clubs at just 14 years old- but that’s another story!

    I have worked for some of the most inspiring and influential dance schools in London and am very proud to nurture talent and see the growth of our students.

    Creativity is always at the heart of what I do and this is what I bring to Into The Blue, seeking something unique and inspiring to share with you.

Travel Well, Live Proudly.
