Lorna later shifted out from behind a desk and onto the road as a tour leader. Having travelled extensively on her own, as well as leading groups around the world, she finds it easy to fit in wherever she is. Whether it be Europe, the Middle East, Africa, North or South America or various other locations ...she feels home is wherever she hangs her hat.

Ongoing.

LANGUAGE:
English and some Spanish.

TOURS LED:
Adriatic, Caucasus, Baltic States, Italy, Turkey, Ethiopia, North Africa, Middle East, Central and South America

FAVOURITE DESTINATION:
Choosing a favorite destination is always difficult. Having travelled to many different countries, there seems to be an endless amount of great memories and experiences that, at the time, feel like 'the best'. However, these exceptional days will too be surpassed. Whether it be the next day, trip, or country I look forward to what comes next. We are fortunate to have the privilege to see and experience so many places. I hope never to be jaded by this great opportunity.

Chris Tripodi Chris travels because it is the most interesting thing he can think of doing between meals. Anyone can buy a plane ticket, but helping a country come alive through its people, sights, culture, cuisine and customs is what Adventures Abroad is all about. Chris enjoys the inevitable challenges, the unforgettable moments, the warm people, the stories shared, the memories made, and every single morsel of each tour. Read More

Jonathan Hodgson Jonathan has lived much of his life dedicated to the idea that he would rather have a wealth of experiences than a wealth of riches. Having taken up a nomadic lifestyle shortly after finishing his undergraduate degree, he has been on the move on and off over the last 25+ years. The wanderlust has taken him to basing himself in places such as Scotland, Australia and Uzbekistan, and to visiting many more locations around our planet. Now (sort of) settled in Vancouver with his wonderful (and patient) family, he still loves the idea of having the world as his office and always enjoys trying to capture the essence of the locations he travels and tours in with his photography.

EDUCATION:
BA in Psychology at McGill University; MBA at the University of British Columbia; self-educated passion for history and culture.

LANGUAGE:
English; conversational French; improving Spanish and Russian. And a decent Scottish accent.

TOURS LED:
I have led tours in over 100 countries over the last 17 years of working for Adventures Abroad on all of the continents except for Antarctica.

FAVOURITE DESTINATION:
Where to begin? Each place has something that makes it a special destination. A few that spring to mind: Kaieteur Falls in Guyana; the snow-covered mountains of Ladakh, India; sipping tea in a chaikhana of the old town of Bukhara, Uzbekistan; and watching the changing colours of Uluru (Ayers Rock) at sunset.

Victor Romagnoli I love the excitement of getting up each morning on a tour and not knowing exactly how a day will unfold. It keeps me on my toes so to speak, and adds a breath of excitement to each day on tour. With almost 30 years of tour leading under my belt, I thank all of you for being a part of this exciting journey. Read More

victor romagnoli

EDUCATION:
HBA English BA History

LANGUAGE:
Being able to speak several languages has made travelling an enriching experience; the conversations one can so easily slip into with locals - who come from all walks of life - adds greatly to my feel for a place.

TOURS LED:
Over a span of almost 30 years, I have lead tours virtually all over the globe.

FAVOURITE DESTINATION:
Some of my favourite tours just come into being suddenly as a result of a request; someone will ask me to put together an itinerary that will include the highlights of several countries and the next thing you know we have, for example, a tour to Uruguay, Paraguay & Bolivia, or Lesotho, Namibia & Botswana. Sometimes I will be asked to arrange a detailed itinerary to just one region within a country - like a close up look at Sicily or Crete or the Basque Country or Newfoundland. Without the keen curiosity that so many of you travellers have, none of these "spontaneous" tours would come into being. But they do.

Frequently Asked Questions

ASK A QUESTION

01. Do you need a visa to travel to Mexico?

No. For tourists a visa is not needed.

02. Is Mexico safe?

Yes, but with precautions. While travel to Mexico is on the rise annually, and the resorts are known to be perfectly safe, some areas of the country do have cautions related to local travel. It is always a good idea to keep informed on these if you plan on being outside of the resort areas.

03. When is the best time to visit Mexico

The dry season is commonly known as the best time to visit Mexico. This is between the months of December and April, when there is little to no rain. Temperatures during the cooler months can still reach 28 Celsius, so travel during the coolest months of December to February may be ideal.
