ON THE ROAD


IF you are looking for an experienced, culturally savvy, multi-lingual tour director, you've found one.   I have designed, priced, promoted, sold and led tours as an owner/agent at Emerald Travel. After graduating from ITMI (International Tour Management Institute) in May 2006, I was hired by Tauck Tours to lead tours in Spain and Portugal, both the Iberia Route and the Paradors of Northern Spain for one of the foremost tour companies in the USA.  

AS a tour director who has led culturally in-depth, demanding  tours to Portugal, Spain, Switzerland,  Ireland, The Canyonlands and West, I am looking for a new adventure.
If you are considering adding to your tour director base, I would love to hear from you!

If you are looking for a dedicated, upbeat, professional  tour director, full time or one  to fill a gap in your calendar,  off-season or temporary work, please call.
Why tour directing?
  Beyond all the professional  words we use to describe ourselves, it is very simple.  My greatest pleasure is to lift guests out of their everyday stress and routine and help them get to a place of relaxation, fun and renewal.  I want them to forget their worries, and become fascinated with the people, sights,  history, culture, daily life and foods of the country we are in.   I bring a sense of fun,  knowledge, patience, humor, teamwork with office and colleagues,  energy, quick thinking, experience, maturity,  and the ability to make sound decisions so all the worries are mine.  Guests are free to make new friends, try new things and enjoy
"time out of time" . 
 I  LOVE my job!
