I remember that night.......
My world turned upside down:
In 2021 Hamilton the musical reopened in Sydney.
It had me at the opening bar, 3 hours later I didn’t want the show to end, my world turned upside down. Just like Hamilton, I researched every article and read every book on the shelf. I encouraged more friends to come with me to see the show, went to the show again by myself, and, as inspired as Lin Manuel Miranda was by Ron Chernow’s biography, I was led by the musical, down a rabbit hole that has brought me to this tour.
​
I first travelled to NYC in 2018. When I read Chernow’s biography in 2021 and recognised the places he referred to, I knew I had to go back and explore. Little did I know that this would develop into such an amazing tour experience. It wasn’t until I shared the story of my journey with the wonderful people I met along the way (my Amtrak travel companion on my journey Philly to NYC, the amazing couple whom I spoke to outside the London show (I wish, I wish, I had asked for your details), and friends in Sydney who can’t wait to join me, that I realised I had something unique to share.
​
Travel is my passion and I have been fortunate in having been to more than 50 countries. I have shared my experience and knowledge escorting customised group experiences to Indonesia for the past 20 years.
​
I am now compelled to follow the spirit of a brand new nation, that actually turned the world upside down, and to offer the meticulously curated ham.tours experience to all.
