Since the 1st of January I have had over 700 new followers on my page so I think it is fitting I introduce myself.
My name is Alison Chadwick, I am 58 years of age and I live in Durban North. For the past 10 years I have been working for accountants in a tax department. Our offices are situated in the Point and this is how my tour guiding journey started. After work I'd drive around and take photos of different buildings then head to the reference library to learn more. It has now become a bit of an obsession.
From 1 April 2020 I will be a full time tour guide in the city of Durban, KwaZulu Natal.
I currently do 4 different walking tours:
Point
City
Florida Road
Maritime
From April 2020 I am introducing a one destination walk during the week.
I have quite a few corporate walks lined up, school groups, birthday groups and camera clubs.
I am a Level 2 Culture Site Guide with the eThekwini Municipality.
I am a member of the:
South African National Society
Durban Art Deco Society
SA Military History Society
World Ship Society: Port Natal Branch
I belong to:
Mountain Club of SA
Mountain Backpackers Hiking Club
Amblers Hiking Club
Durban Ramblers Hiking Club
PMB Ramblers Hiking Club
I am passionate about Durban, history including WW1 and WW2, architecture, new developments, art and culture. Oh and hiking and trail running.
And I organize trips to Nepal and Croatia!
Email is by far the best way to communicate with me [email protected]
Be a tourist in your own city - you will be amazed at what you'll find!
