Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. I've had the pleasure of being a tour guide worldwide since 2005 when I became a certified tour guide through the International Tour Management Institute in San Francisco. I've guided tours in so many fantastic locales, taking thousands of guests locally and abroad, including Italy, Spain, China, Georgia, and Australia. Of all the places I have traveled, one of my favorite places to lead tours is right here in Portland. I’ve lived in Portland since 2002 in the northeast part of town, and I love the diversity and energy of the culinary scene. It’s been so wonderful to be involved intimately with the scene as it has evolved over the years . What could be more fun than leading visitors and locals alike on walking tours, tasting some of the best food and drink Portland has to offer? I can’t wait to share some of my favorite places with you!
