Hi, I'm Christine!

I'm thrilled to bring you this course and give you the confidence and inspiration to travel. I've been lucky to have traveled extensively - from Mexico to Peru, Britain to Turkey, and across the United States from Alaska to Puerto Rico. I've traveled as a nature tour guide and later solo to Costa Rica, Belize, Ecuador, and beyond.

I've traveled for work, for birdwatching, for conferences, and for volunteering with wildlife rescue organizations. I've been ziplining, SCUBA diving, horseback riding, caving, rappelling...all in the name of adventure...and all this AFTER the age of 50!

I used to be hesitant to travel without a partner but when I was forced into a single life I decided that I wasn't gonna let that stop me from traveling. I'm sure glad I made that leap of faith and I want to help you do the same!

Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have: [email protected]
