"Everybody can be great because everybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree or know Einstein's Theory of Relativity to serve. You only need a heart full of grace and soul generated by love."

National Parks, Washington DC, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Texas but truly anywhere you need me to go, I'll prepare and be ready to lead.
Fun Fact!
I set a goal when I was 9 years old to go to all 50 states by 50 years old, and I did it! Ended in Hawaii, the 50th state, on the last day of my 50th year.
Hobbies & Interests
I really enjoy growing new friendships. People and their individual nuances intrigue me. I might do that through shared experiences while hiking, drinking coffee, nature photography or some type of creative expression. My life is rich and full of the most beautiful opportunities to be curious.
Testimonials
"Deana Calhoun is a God Send. Deana single handedly saved a tour for my biggest client. When covid threw a wrench in my tour, Deana jumped in at the last second and helped reshape the entire two days of the tour. I'm a small tour operator and was a complete stranger to her. She is passionate about providing guests an unforgettable, unique experience. I wish I had work to give her. She is a gem and any TO and guests would benefit from having her on their team."
