I am fairly new to Tour Guiding… I transitioned from owning an Interior Design Company into the Travel Industry shortly before Covid shut down the world. I have spent the last 20 years educating, organizing, guiding, managing, calming and encouraging my many clients through the logistics of each project. Planning my own travels as well as for other groups led me to rethink my work-life. My enthusiasm for experiential travel and building relationships forged a desire in me to engage with people in a fresh way- managing and guiding the trips that take them away from home. Being able to give an experience to a guest that they can only get through me on this trip excites me!
