Alec Bean
Originally from Scotland, but now living permanently in the sunnier climate of Greece to live the Mediterranean lifestyle. Here I have fallen in love with the country, culture, cuisine and people, and it is now my aim to help you do the same.
I have always found exploring new cultures a rich and rewarding experience. There is no better way to learn about a new location than travelling through the country, gathering authentic experiences as you go.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in Greece and Italy, with a real passion for outdoor pursuits, road trips & hands-on authentic cultural experiences. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"I have always been involved in travel to some degree, from family road trips as a child to designing plans & traveling through Europe, North America and South Asia as an adult. Traveling has always been a huge part of what I do and has truly shaped who I am as a person."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"My longest lasting and biggest standout memory from my travels comes from my very first venture to Asia, where I spent 3 weeks over Christmas and New Year exploring Thailand. Experiencing such a different culture and way of life compared to what I was used to was hugely eye opening and the memory of sea-kayaking around a secluded island on Christmas day something that I will remember for a long long time.
Since then, I have been fortunate enough to have a variety of unique traveling experiences throughout the years, from seeing the Orangutans of Borneo to the Whales of Vancouver, from Bike Packing through remote Scottish Islands to getting married on the Amalfi Coast! "
