      Freelance active travel guide, editor, and writer

      I have years of guiding experience throughout Europe, Belize, Cuba, Peru and Costa Rica. I love creating trips as much as leading them. Individual to group tours will get 100% of my attention to details, custom making them to fit your desires. I also enjoy working with companies as a freelance guide and have references to share how well I can fit in to a culture, work with others, bring skills and knowledge to help support your experience and your guests.

      Program guide

      Instrumental in helping The Ranch execute its first international pop-up. Being the only employee who had been to the Dolomites, I was instrumental in making necessary arrangements, connections, and plans before and during the six week pop-up. Throughout the week, I led stretch classes, took 22 guests on hikes, managed guest needs, and did a talk on Plant-Based Diets. I worked with the team to ensure a supremee guest experience- focusing on every detail and providing support, knowledge, and a fun experience. Show less
