Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.

About

After many years in the corporate accounting world, I broke free to share my love of travel, history, learning and exploring with both students and adults alike.  There really is nothing like seeing someone’s eyes light up when they see, hear, learn or experience something new and they are filled with awe.  It will never get old!

I have been filled with an insatiable curiosity that I want to put to good use – learning and sharing alongside guests on tour.  One thing that you can never take away from someone is their experiences and I love helping others create amazing ones out on the road!
