Bio
I love working with people, from young to young at heart. I own Vitality Active Travel, where I design custom and organized hiking and biking tours worldwide.I have a highly successful history of working in the travel & tourism industry. I've led trips for youth and adults throughout Costa Rica, Belize, Peru, Cuba, and El Paso. Extensive travel in Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, Vietnam, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Tanzania and 23 countries in Europe.
Please note that our custom trips do not have to incorporate "active"! For example, I've designed a two-week trip in Tuscany for a group that specifically did not want to walk more than from store to store, but they had an incredibly fun and memorable trip!
Skilled in Trip Design, Guiding, Marketing, Translations, Blog Writing, Project Management, Editing, Administration, and English as a Second Language (ESL). Meticulous, detail-oriented, organized, fun, personable, deadline-driven, active professional. Wilderness First Responder certified.
