This Wild Soul - Alice
Lives in London, UK
I'm Alice, a travel lover with a fondness for seeking out unique, once in a lifetime, once in a destination experiences. I've personally explored 28 countries to date. My favourite destinations so far have been Flores in Indonesia, Varanasi in India and Nyungwe in Rwanda -because they were all a little off the beaten path and totally magical! I'm an experienced solo traveller and small group travel leader. I love trying new things, connecting with locals, hiking through nature & seeing different cultures unique and quirky traditions! I work as a freelance Travel Coordinator for the global adventure travel company WeRoad ( https://www.weroad.co.uk/ ) leading small group adventure tours to worldwide destinations several times a year. If small group travel with fab vibes is your jam, you're welcome to use my discount code: INCOORLEAKEALI for £200 OFF any of their tours. If you prefer doing your own thing and customising your own bespoke trip, read on... because you're in safe hands with these guides. I'm a thorough researcher and planning trips is my forte. I've taken great care over these resources, they also, where possible, empower locals I highly recommend and have personally worked with. This is invaluable because when you get on the ground the most useful thing in many of these destinations is contacts you can trust and are dependable. When I'm not planning my next trip, I spend my days as a rowing coach and freelance artist/designer. You might also find me attempting to touch my toes at yoga, or learning to dance with fire poi! One of my favourite places on earth is actually Burning Man Festival and as you can imagine I have a joie de vivre nature and that's just what your trip will have if you choose my services. So, if you want more from your travel, search up my destination guides with confidence, purchase a custom itinerary or hop on a destination consultation with me, and I will thoroughly prep you for your best time ever! x
