I've been leading, designing, selling and operating small group adventure trips for the past 20+ years. Many of the 3000 folks I've traipsed around the globe with have become personal friends.

My target markets are successful, active, connected, engaged, involved Boomers, Women 40+, and PrimeTime Travelers (ages 50-70). I intimately understand and very much enjoy these markets.

If your audience is made up of these consumers, or businesses interested in getting to know this market better, really understand them, I'm interested in helping.
