Jamie
l red hair, green heart
Jamie came to work for viventura by accident, after taking a last minute decision to escape the rat race in London, where he worked as a game designer.
It's debatable whether viventura employed him for his relevant skills or just his red hair and Irish ancestry. But, he's grateful for the opportunity to design exiting tours to some of the most inspiring countries in South America.
When he is not selling tours to his Irish customers, he likes to fight with his slightly aggressive fox terrier, cook pasta and drink red wine.
