Being a tour guide is the job I would do for free if I didn't need the money. . . but alas, we all have adult responsibilities and bills to pay! Most people around here can talk your ear off about the charms of Newfoundland and Labrador. Come visit us and and see why. Let me show you around. I am a native of the province with a great deal of experience from one end of it to the other. I was born in Labrador, grew up on the Northern Peninsula and South Coast, went to University on the West Coast, and have now lived in St. John's for 25 years. During this time I have studied local folklore, biology, geography, and history. And I've working in the field of culture and heritage for many years, running the Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival, several theater and music festivals, and all manner of cultural tourism events. I have been offering my services as a professional tour guide for 14 years; and my experience includes hosting both large and small groups, individual travelers, visiting dignitaries, and travel writers from around the world. Allow me to show you around our beautiful capital city of St. John's and some of the surrounding areas. There are many exciting and interesting things to see here; we are bursting at the seams with historic sites, magnificent churches, great architecture, majestic icebergs, migrating whales and seabirds, world class hiking trails, amazing music and art, alongside some very colorful local characters and the friendliest people you'll ever meet. Bachelor of Commerce - Marketing Degree from Memorial University 25+ years experience working in Culture/Heritage 20+ years experience as a local tour guide Certified in Standard First Aid through St. John Ambulance Insured to carry passengers for tours (Commercial Auto Policy # RIC051786546) - Feel free to ask about my commercial policy and always make sure your guide is properly insured. Personal insurance does not protect you, as a passenger!
