Tom’s life quote: “I prefer mountain ranges over beaches, snow over sunshine, and know my way around a fire pit. There is nothing like the cold, brisk, clear air of winter!”
Reading and discussing histories and science, hiking, archery, sightseeing and being in a winter wonderland! I love Thai and Indian cuisine and finding the best beef jerky wherever I travel. I’ve lived in Japan and hiked the forgotten sections of the Great Wall of China, taken a train across Siberia and backpacked all over Eastern Europe.On this winter excursion I look forward to showing guests the beauty and serenity of the places we visit that are so different from visiting these places in a different season.
I’m always looking for my next adventure and can’t wait to help you find yours.
Growing up in the Netherlands there weren’t any mountain slopes to ski from, but every winter I would tie under my ice skates and ride for miles through the Frisian landscape of the North of the Netherlands. As a teenager I started to conquer the slopes in Austria and Switzerland. Moving to the United States and eventually settling in the Los Angeles ski-area at Big Bear lake, I started snowboarding in the afternoon while surfing in the morning!
As a wilderness first responder I am thankful that I can look after the guests’ safety and have them enjoy the places we visit to the fullest. While visiting unique and remote areas in Alaska, I took guests out on winter evening hikes to hunt the Aurora Borealis. As a passionate adventure sports traveler and guide, this Northeast winter experience is a unique opportunity to learn or grow in the winter activities offered. If you want to ski, snowboard or snowshoe, I look forward to being part of your winter journey.
Barry was a phenomenal tour guide. He was informative, interesting and funny. It was more than a food tour – he shared historical and architectural facts as well as his own experience with the Philly food scene. We had a great group and the food was delicious. Thank you Barry – we’ll come back for your Italian market tour!!
Our tour guide Heather was wonderful. She was a lot of fun to be with and gave us so much history and information about the places we visited and the food we tasted. Together, we discovered so many special stores for all different kinds of food and now we have a much better understanding of this wonderful area of Philadelphia. Heather really made this tour top notch and I would highly recommend it to everyone!
I took the 2.5 hour history tour with Nina. She was a fantastic tour guide who really knew her stuff. She brought history alive against the backdrop of Philadelphia. She also interjected history with some fun facts, which kept the tour fresh and interesting. She was very engaging with all the tour goers.
