A Glimpse of John and Jackie Kennedy's Georgetown

Hello everyone and welcome! I was born in Manila, Philippines. Being part of a diplomat family, I moved to the United States at the age of 3 months when my mother was assigned to the Philippine Embassy in Washington, D. C. I grew up in Fairfax, Virginia, a DC-area suburb and after graduating high school in 1998, I moved to Canada where I attended the University of Toronto earning a Hon. B. Sc. degree in Psychology and Cognitive Science. I have been a licensed Washington, D. C. guide for 22 years and a member of the Guild of Professional Tour Guides of Washington, D. C. since 2008. In addition to being a Private DC Guide offering private tours all over DC, I am a Licensed Tour Guide for the Washington National Cathedral, and do culinary/history tours of DC neighborhoods. I am experienced in working with families, school groups (elementary to college/university level), corporate groups, conference attendees, private parties, domestic visitors, international visitors, military groups, senior citizens. There is a sense of satisfaction and challenge in being able to share with any group interesting places that are rich in history and culture, knowing that I can offer a window of better appreciation and understanding of the places through facts and information I give them. Working with visitors enriches and sustains my interests in history, culture, and current development in Washington, DC and the world as whole, while at the same time offer them great experiences and opportunities outside their hometowns, cities, states and/or countries. Tours are always a good avenue for two-way interaction and learning experience not only for groups but for the tour guide as well. As a guide, group tours also provide me an opportunity to visit various places that will further my knowledge of these places and enhance my leadership abilities. Outside of guiding, my other interests, activities, and endeavors include working with successful business owners and entrepreneurs in the DC area doing brand expansion for a number of online and Fortune 500 companies, anything soccer-related (especially English Premier League and Chelsea FC), sporting games/events, exercise, health & wellness, food (cooking and eating), travel, watching movies, hiking, history, and reading. I look forward to sharing "my office" with you! Licensed Washington, D.C.
