One of the best Destination Speakers in the UK, I offer a portfolio of over 260 destination talks...from the Arctic Circle to Africa and the Americas, and extensively in Europe (covering 50+ countries). I don't just talk about the ports of call - I bring them alive with words, pictures, stories and inside information. Behind the talk, is a mine of detailed information so that I can answer guests' questions and enable them to make the most of their day ashore.My post-cruise scores average 95% (highest to date 97.6%)In addition I have built a portfolio of more general talks under two headings - Fascinating Lives and The Travel Collection. These can be used at sea to complement our itinerary - and on shore for U3A, PROBUS, Rotary, WI, National Trust and other societies.These talks include:Frida Kahlo - Mexico's Mistress of MagicGrace Kelly - Perfect Princess or Amazing ActorAudrey Hepburn - Epitome of EleganceAristotle Onassis - The Golden GreekJackie O - America's QueenFridtjof Nansen - A Man of Courage and CompassionSanta Evita - The Life and Legacy of Eva PeronFeel the Motion of the OceanFire and Ice - A cruise to Greenland and IcelandA Passage through IndiaSouth American Journey Have worked for the following cruise-lines:Silversea, Saga, Crystal, Cunard, P&O, Oceania, and Fred Olsen On board, I have proven to be flexible to last minute changes, sociable with our guests and willing to be part of the wider entertainment team by taking part in fun events, like Pantomime, Call my Bluff and poolside games. During the 2020/1 Covid-19 period, I used the time to add to my portfolio, to update earlier talks and to deliver talks by Zoom - a whole new way of working which requires different skills.Outside of my speaking work, I have rental properties to maintain - and love to dance ballroom and Latin.
Listed skills include Public Speaking, Event Planning, Tourism, Public Relations, and 16 others.
