Hello all! I’m Kirsten Plowman from Iowa, located right in the middle of America’s heartland. I grew up moving from one Army base to another, so it’s no wonder I get the urge to travel! And, I enjoy helping others find their favorite way to travel via planes, trains, automobiles, and sometimes ferries and horse drawn carriages.
Over the last few years, I’ve been leading camping and backpacking tours throughout the Midwest, focused on creating community and skills for women in the outdoors. I get to share with campers my passion for ecology, hiking, and staring at big waterfalls. This year, I’ve branched out! I’ve been leading student tours in Washington, D.C. and New York as well as adult tours in the Great Lakes and Appalachian regions.
I’m excited to expand and learn new tours and connect with more guests. Whether that’s riding a steam engine in the Great Plains, touring Chicago’s iconic skyline, or walking the rugged landscapes of the Scottish Highlands. I want guests to get immersed in the smells of artisan bakeries and coffeeshops, flip through the pages at local bookstores, and tap our toes to live music. Together we can stare in awe at castles, seek out public art and history, and find the best late night eats.
Our beautiful planet is worth taking the time to Get To Know.
