In graduate school, I decided I wanted to love what I do and do what I love. That's why I received a Master's in International Studies and concentration in Parks, Recreation and Tourism. I've lived my entire life in the South traveling through all the nooks and crannies of North Carolina from Murphy (mountains) to Manteo (coast). I love to share and show the beauty and culture of the Triangle, North Carolina and the Southern region. Gaining experience along the way managing group sales at a NC mountain ski lodge, teaching kayaking, nature camps and tours on the Outer Banks of NC and managing small and large nature events at the Raleigh Parks & Recreation, I took the next step to managing event planning in the hospitality industry. Waiting tables, bartending, hosting, planning industry events you name it, I've done it. I put my experience in the restaurant and hospitality industries and parlayed it into becoming a tour guide in all four Triangle cities. It was a natural fit. I'm excited to meet you and show you the best parts of the the Triangle. From business team building events, two hour or day outing to family reunions, I've lead thousands of people on all types of tours and adventures. Jacquelyn •Owner of local tour company since 2008.
