Local leaders

‘This is not my work. Travel is my love; it’s my life.’

An Intrepid leader spills the beans on everything you need to know before you go.

It’s this ever-changing culture, woven with a rich and diverse history, which makes Fatih’s job as a storyteller and tour leader a fascinating one.

The Java-based trip leader is a pro at making people as passionate as him about his country. He’s also an incredible photographer.

“99.9% of travellers on my groups are so happy to have me as a female leader,” she says. “Some are shocked but then they see me working and they are happy.”

What’s your ticket for finding the tastiest meals in Japan? Travelling with a local leader, who loves food as much as you do.

Daniel Ramos, one of Intrepid’s longest working guides (15 years to be exact), can tell you pretty much everything you’d want to know about Peru.

“I told my husband that the world is changing,” Naa explains over Skype. “In the past, women were behind men. But I said to him ‘we can step together’”.

We are delighted to announce that once again an Intrepid leader has been shortlisted in the prestigious Wanderlust World Guide Awards.
