About Me
Hi! I'm Billie Hyde, and I love to travel. Even more, I love sharing the experience of traveling with others: friends, family, and guests on tours I'm lucky enough to lead.
I spent most of my working life in sales and marketing in a corporate setting, and after retiring realized I wasn't done yet. So I found a new career that is both rewarding and fun. What better life than to share the joy of adventure, and of discovering new people and places with others?
I grew up in Montana and Alaska, and I've also lived in New York, New Jersey, Washington, California and Arizona. I've dragged my suitcase to every state in the union, and thirty countries in the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East. What have I learned? That there is still more to learn and understand about the world we live in.
