About

Completing my MA in London opened my eyes to the world. I traveled all over Europe and parts of Africa, sponging as much info as I could get about these incredible places. Along with the desire to learn, travel developed the desire to teach and lead other people on the same incredible adventures I experienced. Being in my mid-20s I worked as a tour director at many of the event festivals known around Europe. From here I spent a year in China teaching English to the most inspiring groups of 11-13 year olds imaginable. They had only the desire to see the world beyond China. In 2018 I discovered the role of being a tour director as a career and immediately started working with students in various cities around US including the National Parks and East Coast. I cannot begin to express the joy it brings me taking students around these historical cities/monuments, opening their eyes to everything this world is made of. Feel free to reach out to me at any time to ensure your students get the best experience possible from our time together.

I have several years experience leading student and adult tours all along the east cost in DC, NYC, Philadelphia and Boston as well as LA, San Fran and Seattle. I have also worked with several adult companies leading tours along the PNW and pacific coastline as well as adventuring the NW/SW National Parks up from Rapid City all the way down to Las Vegas. I most recently went on a TripSchool destination training in New England and feel confident in leading any Fall Foliage tours.

"Hello Ms. Rebecca,
As I got home, I collapsed and out for two days in order to recoup from my most fabulous tour I have ever had.
You are a true professional and I hope in the future that you would be the director of a tour I choose."
