Bertie is the CEO of Sampan Travel, a tour operator based in Yangon creating tailor-made tours through Myanmar and India. After graduating from the University of Liverpool with a BA in English Literature in 2013, Bertie moved to Berlin two work in communications. Two years later he arrived in Myanmar and set about building a tour operator that he intended to both offer exceptional, immersive experience to travellers while at the same time have a positive impact on the lives of local communities. This mission remains even more important in the current context.
