Annie Miniscloux
Annie is one of Compass Rose’s most enthusiastic and engaging trip leaders. She is a passionate sea kayaker, mtn biking, and hiker. With a deep knowledge of Asia and Europe, she will assist you in your personal exploration on any trip to discover not just the trails and the people we meet along the way but also the little things in daily life that are easily overlooked.
In Thailand, she organizes private culinary tours throughout the country and custom walking and bicycling tours along the backstreets of Bangkok.
When Annie’s not out in the wilderness, you will probably find her searching a nearby kitchen with a spoon in her hand and her eye out for a new way to cook almost anything.
