"Hey all, my name's Kelly :) I was born and raised in a small town in Michigan in the United States. After graduating University with a degree in Film Production I packed my car and moved across the country to Los Angeles. I worked in Film Advertising there for five years until I decided that I had a lot more of the world to see. So this time I packed my suitcases and moved to Spain! I lived there for two years doing travel photography, videography and teaching English. After that I headed over to India, Asia and Japan getting lost in countless temples. Which brought me down under to live in Australia for a year, which is where I first started leading group tours and absolutely fell in love with it! Since then I've lead tours around Australia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. I love meeting people from all over the world and sharing my love of travel with them! The best part for me of every tour is that moment when you realize these people who were strangers a week or so ago have quickly become your new travel family :) "
