I am packed and ready to travel from Alaska to Maine or Maine to Florida.  Sharing experiences and a passion for travel is what makes my life meaningful.  I believe that our lives are enriched when we truly understand another culture and another person.  I have lived in six states and three countries.   A passion for people, places and experiences suited me well through my first career as a teacher;  but even further enriches my current career as a tour director.  I hold an undergraduate degree in communications and literature.  I hold an MA in stage direction and theatre. I have twenty years of classroom experience in three different states.  After living in Varese, Italy for five years I am proficient in conversational Italian.   I am a licensed tour director in Washington DC and New York City.  I have led successful tours up and down the Eastern Seaboard.   I completed my initial tour guide training and first student tours just before covid. This year I have lead tours up and down the East Coast for both students and adults.  I have also recently completed Trip School training for New England Fall Foliage Tours.  I am excited to see where the road will lead me next.
