I have spent more than 2 years in total exploring Central America and it has taken away my breath and my heart. The colors, smells and sounds are easy to become infatuated with. I have travelled solo, in groups, and with family in many of these countries, and have picked up quite a bit of Spanish along the way. If you are looking for a good spot to spend a night on the way to your destination, or are looking to spend weeks/months living, volunteering or working somewhere (and all things in between), I will help to find the right spot for you.  

Growing up on the East Coast but living throughout the country and West Coast, I have spent time in almost every state in the lower 48. Through these experiences I have cultivated extensive knowledge of road tripping routes, best places to eat and stay in different cities. Our team of advisors also spans the entirety of the country, including most major cities. I personally have driven cross-country on solo trips six separate times and have done additional routes of this trip with significant others, friends, and family. I have worked in State Parks, and National Forests throughout the country and have spent a lot of time camping, hiking and exploring in many of our great National Parks. I have a solid idea of different local regulations in regards to these areas, so I can help you get the most of what you want out of our nation and its many beautiful protected areas, as well as its cultural centers, music festivals, and experiencing the specialities of each region.

Although I wish I could go back and live there longer, I’ve spent six months living in Eastern Australia, and years later spent two months backpacking the Eastern Coast of the country. I have spent time in France, Scotland, Italy, the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, other Caribbean islands, and we have multiple reliable resources on travel throughout Europe, Turkey, Thailand, Laos, Indonesia, Cambodian and Polynesia. If you are looking for quick trips, long vacations, or study abroad options, we are here to be your resource.
