I've been at Untours for 17 years, and every day is slightly different, particularly during the travel seasons when all of our Untours are in full swing. On a day when Untourists are in flight toward their temporary hometowns, all usually goes smoothly, but with flights and delays, we're sometimes faced with challenges that require some creativity.

I work at Untours because it's so supportive of its employees, and my co-workers are genuinely nice people that I would gravitate to outside of work.

Barcelona is the next Untour on my list. I like locations close to water, and I'd really love to see some Gaudi architecture. Although I have to admit that Vietnam, which I co-managed with Hal Taussig, was my favorite Untour while it lasted. Culturally, it was so different than our European Untours. There is nothing that can quite prepare you for what to expect in Vietnam. Just walking through the markets or crossing the streets was a mini-adventure. I'd love to go back if ever given the chance and always hope we'll relaunch the Untour eventually.

When I'm not working my time is spent hanging out with my husband Scott, our daughter Olivia and our two dogs.
