Mr. Osborne (or TripSchool Team), May I be excused? My brain is full. : )

About

I LOVE to see the world.  I have been in the travel and tourism industry since the beginning of my career.  I knew early on, that was my destiny.  I love to go anywhere in the world.  I have had the privilege to travel throughout Asia, Europe, South and Central America, Africa, Mexico and Canada.  I have also lived in wonderful places like Lake Tahoe, San Diego, Northern California Wine Country, Hawaii and now I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.  

My spunky mother lives with me and she enjoys traveling as much as I do.  We don’t have pets at the moment, just the plethora of outdoor birds I feed every day who come and squawk at the kitchen window every single morning if I am late for their breakfast.

While I have not had any destination specifically official training, I have escorted numerous FAMS around the world for the Travel Agent Communities and MICE markets.  I have been able to escort groups to Africa, Egypt, New Zealand, Hawaii, Canada and numerous locations throughout Europe.  The groups I have overseen have ranged from as little as 10 people to over 100 for an international conference hosted by Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas.  

I have had the privilege through both my professional and personal explorations to travel to over 72 countries.  I have yet to travel to Antarctica, but it's on the list. I feel extremely comfortable traveling by myself or escorting a large group in all locations and cultures around the globe.  Fear of travel is not in my vocabulary; wanderlust it's in my blood.

Fun Fact!
I was on $25,000 Pyramid years ago and made Dick Clark role his eyes to some of my clues.
Hobbies & Interests
I love to explore, tour and cruise anywhere I can. Whether that is in the PNW, California, Hawaii, New Zealand, Costa Rica or anywhere in the world. I love horseback riding, kayaking, snow skiing, scuba diving, hiking, music concerts, wine tasting, and anything with wildlife. I am also a recovering serial remodeler, according to my accountant, but working on getting over it.
