Julia is the founding member of Spekboom Tours. Passionate about the great outdoors, sustainability and animals she has had a diverse career as a veterinary nurse, a teacher and environmental facilitator. Most days she can be found burning up the trails of the Karkloof/Howick forests or helping a local school setup a permaculture garden or library. Spekboom Tours was established as an extension of her passions and way of life. After spending many happy months backpacking and cycling around Southeast Asia, South America, Europe and South Africa, she believes cycle touring is the best way to have an authentic experience that will expose people to a culture of green living.
