I enjoy giving talks about the subjects I love about the Classical world and Romania, and organising and leading cultural tours at home and abroad. I have given talks, lectures, presentations and guided tours at many events, including at literary festivals, for BBC History Magazine, English Heritage, the Romanian Cultural Institute, the Transylvanian Book Festival as well as for charity events, local history societies and schools.
