Tales and Travails of a Tour Director

Join me on a journey through the U.S. National Parks, California, and the South Pacific as my tours’ adventures yield valuable insights. This is the first in a series of books chronicling the challenges I confronted and the revelations that transformed me during my six-year global odyssey.


If misadventure is the best teacher, these vignettes instruct with wit, wisdom, and  humor. The calamities that befell my first tour, and my progress during the next seven tours form the basis for this memoir. 


Laugh and learn how I:

• juggled last-minute crises 

• side-stepped pitfalls

• conducted magical, memorable tours


Come discover my survival techniques that led to future tours in Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, the Baltic States, and Russia.
