About

For me, travel began as a personal adventure and evolved into a lifelong passion and career. While completing my MA in London, living abroad sparked a curiosity that led me to explore Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. I became fascinated by the history, cultures, and stories that make each destination unique—and by the powerful sense of discovery that comes from experiencing them firsthand. In my mid-20s, I began working as a tour guide at some of Europe’s best-known festivals. There, I discovered the joy of bringing destinations to life for travelers. That journey later took me to China, where I spent a year teaching English to remarkable students ages 11–13. The experience deepened my appreciation for cultural exchange and reinforced my belief that travel is one of the most powerful forms of education. While working as a flight attendant in 2018, I found my true calling as a Tour Director. Through professional development with IATDG conferences and Trip School Boot Camp, I continued developing my skills in guiding, leadership, and group management. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with multiple tour operators, leading student and adult groups throughout the United States. Whether introducing first-time travelers to iconic landmarks or uncovering the stories behind lesser-known places, my goal is always the same: to make travel engaging, educational, and memorable. I believe the best journeys do more than take us somewhere new—they change the way we see the world.
