Ed developed an interest in foreign countries and cultures growing up in the Washington D.C. area. (There are more than 175 diplomatic embassies in our nation’s capital). This interest transformed into a desire to learn and grow through travel. He hitchhiked across Canada and the US twice back in his early 20s. Later he budget back-packed around the world. Ed has been a professional tour director for over 25 years and led over 500 tours. He enjoys taking care of people. His favorite travel destination is the road less traveled.
