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 revela-

tions 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.
