I grew up“ behind the wall,” so starting to work as a Program Director was such a revelation to me. What makes me most passionate about my job is the feedback from our travelers. Their smiles, their excitement about places we visit and the people we meet. It is so rewarding when my guests come to me and tell me how much they loved the trip!

I love Grand Circle’ s approach to traveling, how we do not just sightsee, but“ dig deep” into the history, culture, traditions, and even controversies of every place we visit. I especially love the easygoing attitudes of the Croats, the warmhearted and welcoming spirit, where every stranger becomes a friend after one shot of Slivovitz( plum schnapps)!
