Carolyn Metkola: I am a freelance lecturer, originally from the UK but now living in Albania. I am currently on the Advisory Board of the World History Encyclopedia, the Board of Caabu (the Council for the Advancement of Arab British Understanding), and am Joint Honorary Secretary and Membership Secretary of the Anglo-Albanian Association. I've previously worked at The British Museum, the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology and the College of St George at Windsor Castle, as well as being a teacher in Tower Hamlets and a lecturer at Queen Mary, University of London. I'm very lucky to have worked in so many amazing places. I also do some archaeology in my spare time: I've worked in Italy, Spain, Oman and now Albania.

From guests on my tours

"I do want to thank you for interpreting all the very complicated history we met with daily so clearly and memorably - I may have mixed up Illyrian kings, Roman emperors, Greek sages and Turkish beys in my head, but in my visual memory they are marching and fighting and living and dying across a sunlit background of mountains and valleys, remote villages and endless roads, so vividly that the unknown country of Albania is now familiar territory, and somewhere I shall always want to go back to."

"Carolyn's enthusiasm and knowledge is fantastic at encouraging me to really look at the objects and see all sorts of surprises!"
