Meet the Business Owner

Tom E.

Business Owner

I was able to travel the world and it was my job! My specialities grew and developed and I was able to not only sell travel but learn the art of being a tour operator and lead my own tours. I even took a course at NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) in Wyoming where I earned my Wilderness EMT so that I could better lead adventure tours. I started a very successful adventure travel lecture series and met the most famous travelers in the world. I have led trekking trips in Nepal, ski tours to Europe, cultural tours in Southeast Asia, Europe, Latin America and the South Pacific to mention a few. After 25 years I sold my travel agency to an American Express affiliate and was hired back to run the International Department. I have been an affiliate of The Travel Society for 6 years and it has been my honor to service my clients.
