If Grant Perry wasn’t so fond of the surf he would probably be a nomad, wandering on a camel. He was born and raised in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand and gained a bachelor of international management degree from Waikato University before setting off on his Big O.E. (overseas experience) in 1996. He’s been on it ever since.

He fulfilled a boyhood dream by driving across the U.S. en-route to live in London. The U.S. lured him back two years later and he spent two years each in North Carolina, California, and Maryland, before moving to Ireland. After a year in IL’s Panama office Grant returned to Ireland and is kept busy with the IL website and Facebook pages in his role as Web Marketing Director.
