About:
I’m the Founder (+ Seeker) of Questing - self-guided, riddle-based, walking tours. Whether you’re traveling solo, in a pair or a family, we’ve got the perfect adventure for you. Before embarking on this journey I was a physics teacher in London, so problem-solving and sharing curious, mind-expanding facts are what I’m drawn to. I love weaving those passions into experiences that help people see the world around them in a whole new way.
My favorite moment during a Quest? When someone says, “I’ve walked past this a million times and never noticed it before!” That kind of discovery is exactly what drives me. My mission is to get New Yorkers to stop looking straight ahead and instead start looking up, down, and all around - because there’s magic hiding in every corner of this city.
When I’m not crafting new Quests, I’m probably playing board games (I’ve even designed a few), exploring playgrounds with my three kids, or bopping around different neighborhoods with a coffee in hand. I’m always on the lookout for inspiration - and for collaborators! If you’ve got a creative idea or want to team up, I’d love to connect.
Education:
BSc (hons) in Physics from Durham University
MA (hons) in Education from Durham Univeristy
Special Tours:
I love designing tours all across the city - if you have an event and would like a customized tour (aka a ReQuest) I would love to help out! They’re perfect as a team building experience.
Adult riddle-based walking tours (Quests) begin at a coffee shop and end at a place to celebrate and grab a drink - the perfect way to spend a New York day.
Family-friendly riddle-based walking tours (Mini Quests) begin at a coffee shop and end at a playground, so kids get to burn off their extra energy! Mini Quest are perfect for keeping kids engaged whilst parents can still discover the hidden gems and history of the city. Ideal for age 7-11yo (although younger siblings love to join in on the fun!)
