Meet Lori, a former Tour Consultant and current Tour Project Manager, recently returned from teaching in Colombia. We are so happy to welcome Lori back to the Prometour family!
I grew up on the South Shore of Montreal. I did my bachelor`s degree at McGill University where I studied history and anthropology. I also have a certificate in teaching English as a foreign language from the University of Toronto. I love theatre, history, and travelling. I also have an affinity for furry four-legged creatures.
I like travelling to places that have a nice mix of natural landscapes and history, so Peru was definitely one of my favourites. Turkey was also beautiful and I liked experiencing a place with a culture so different from my own.
I lived in Pasto, Colombia for two years as an English teacher. It was definitely a valuable experience because I got to really delve into a new culture and language and create life-long memories along the way.
I fell in love and got married.
I would love to see the Great Wall of China as well as the wild animals of South Africa.
Problem solving with the support of a great team.
All of them.
Less can definitely be more. Sometimes it is hard to bask in the glory of a monument when you`re exhausted and pressed for time.
I loved travelling to Vermont as a kid every summer, so the Green Mountain State definitely has a place in my heart. My first overseas trip however, was a combo trip to Italy and Turkey. After that I definitely caught the global travel bug.
I am a sucker for old architecture so anywhere in Old Quebec and Old Montreal is my favourite. I also love that we have four seasons because it offers something completely new to a familiar place.
