Adventure / Active Travel
I plan adventure trips several times a year. I try to offer a variety of trip lengths and costs – resulting in a mixture of regional “long weekend” trips, and excursions to places like Central America, Canada, and Europe. These are small group trips – meaning approximately 5 – 10 people involved. While a particular trip might be built around a hiking experience or bird-watching, all of these trips are about exploring the natural and human world along the travel route. They are fun immersions in history, culture, and nature. Check the calendar periodically for trip postings (I'll announce the "big ones" around 8 – 10 months in advance).
