Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans. It is lovely to be silly at the right moment.

About

After 20 years of excelling in Direct Sales, I threw caution to the wind and chased a new dream to become a Tour Director. 10 years later and after miles of smiles, and I love it more each day! I have lots of experience leading River cruises (Rhine, Mosel, Dutch Waterways – including Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Switzerland) as well as land tours in Michigan (including Mackinac Island), New England Fall Foliage, Utah’s big 5, California National Parks, Yellowstone – South Dakota, and am an expert in all things Texas (including San Antonio, Hill Country, and Austin). I addition, I have destination knowledge in New Zealand. I’ve lived in Germany and England.

I love outdoor adventure – hiking, biking, and kayaking. Anytime I’m not working – I’m hanging with those I love (my two adult daughters & my new grandson…smile…or traveling somewhere I’ve never been with my best friends. Live is good – and I love spreading that joy to anyone who’ll let me!
