Key Takeaways:
- Tour leaders go through rigorous testing and training to learn how to work with travelers, create moments, the whole WTT system, safety, health, security measures, and general logistics
- What we endeavor to do on each trip, not just do a trip, not just do a tour, but create memories and unique things that our travelers could not do on their own.
- One of the interesting and really enjoyable perks of being a tour leader is getting to know each of the travelers
- When women travel solo together, the relationships built during the trip goes beyond the trip itself
