Archaeologist & Founder at Merakiva Travel
I’m an archaeologist turned tour guide, travel leader, and Founder of Merakiva Travel. For over 10 years, I traveled the world as an archaeologist, excavating ancient sites in countries like Spain, Lebanon, and Iraq. After finishing my PhD, I moved into the corporate world. In that time, I worked in marketing, product development, and strategy. That life wasn't for me so I started a tour and travel company. In it, we lead trips around the world for small groups and organize trips for independent travelers. Plus, I run Always Sunny Tour out of it. Always Sunny Tour is the only tour in the world dedicated exclusively to visiting sites from the cult-favorite show, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Now, I also post on YouTube, slowly building up an audience of people interested in archaeology and travel. I'm a storyteller who loves people (and talks to tourists on a near daily basis).
