Get to Know Matt
A little about me
Greetings! I've been a tour guide since January 2022. I do several tours including the Great Ocean Road, Phillip Island, Puffing Billy/Dandenongs and Healesville/Yarra Valley.
I've lived in Melbourne since I was 10 years old.
My most memorable travel experiences have been visiting Japan, India, Berlin and Colombia.
I'm deeply interested in the world of self-development, mindset, meditation, health and yoga, as well as connection and relationships.
I enjoy dancing, practising guitar, watching Liverpool FC and live music!
Nice to meet you 😊
