Kerstin - Cycling holiday administrator for Marmot Tours

Kerstin Grünwald-Hope

Client Liaison

I have always dreamt of living abroad and left my home country of Austria for pastures new soon after my baccalaureate. Having spent three wonderfully hectic years in London, I moved to Bath for a more relaxed pace of life and to undertake a BA degree in English Literature & Sociology at Bath Spa University.

After my undergraduate studies, I started my professional journey within the travel industry whilst working for a school tour company organising trips to Germany, France and Spain for the next eleven years. During this time, I also left city life behind and have since been taking full advantage of the beautiful Wiltshire countryside, walking and cycling whenever I can. Not too long ago, I combined my love for the great outdoors with my passion for all things literature by completing a part-time MA in Literature, Landscape and Environment for which I looked at the portrayal of animals in science fiction novels of the 1960s (a bit niche, I know :).

Having joined Marmot Tours in November 2018, I now very much enjoy getting to know our riders and helping them plan their cycling adventures.
