Profile

If you love learning and exploring off the beaten path, I'm a traveling guide for your group or family! Having lived on the western slope for 25 years near Aspen, I know Colorado very well, the history, Indian cultures, and hiking areas to enjoy.  After working for PBS for many years, and leading major donors on tours and special events, I took my organizational skills and love of Nature, Nova, and the documentary history projects and decide to work for the Peace Corps overseas.  Kenya here I come!
  
Two years later, I'm anxious to share my knowledge and travel experience with others.  I was raised in Florida and enjoy birding, water sports and hiking in the everglades as well as here in the open west.  I also enjoy walking or biking in several of the other 50 states where I've traveled.

 
Skiing anyone?
