Welcome, and thanks for stopping by to check out our company site!
Travel has been the centerpiece of my life since I picked up my first suitcase and boarded a plane for Dubai, U.A.E. at the ripe age of six. Two and a half years later, we moved to the heart of Western Europe: Belgium. For eleven years, I traveled, lived, learned, and absorbed a beautiful mix of cultures, languages, history, and food.
And yet with my overseas upbringing, my school in Belgium was ultra-American, with plenty of international students. With Brussels as the business and political capital of Europe, our school was filled with kids from New York, California, Michigan, Texas, Florida, Virginia, etc. We had an American football team, homecoming dances, and everything American you could imagine. But we had field trips and sports events all over Europe and were exposed to so very much.
When I returned to the States, it was a bit of a culture shock at first. Yet my American roots run deep... I followed my father's path into the Marine Corps, and I have lived in the USA for thirty years, in Louisiana, Montana, California, New Jersey, and Florida.
When I am asked where is home, I guess it's on an airplane - for I love Europe and the US equally. They are both home to me - and that is what I strive to do with my company and the people I work with: make them fall in love with and feel at home in foreign places.
With knowledge, passion, and humor, we'd love for you to travel with us. I have studied under and worked with some of the very best historians, filmmakers, and chefs, which is why I have the utmost confidence that we can offer the perfect tour, impeccably appropriate and reflective of every place we travel.
The joy is in sharing so much of that with people who are willing to trust us with their money and precious vacation time.
Enjoy your tour of our site... And remember our motto: for travelers, not tourists. There's a world of difference.
Sincerely,
David Campbell
