SAY "MERHABA" TO STEPHANIE AND ED!
Ed and Stephanie hail from Pennsylvania, a computer scientist and professor respectively. This was their first Rick Steves Tour. They rescue dogs in their "real lives" and Ed (also Neil's buddy) could be found lovingly patting all the dogs we came across! What we love about Rick Steves Tours: the camaraderie! Best Travel Tip: Keep an open mind and an open heart... and pack a light suitcase! Favorite part of the Turkey Tour: So many! But I think I'll say the Cappadocia region, mostly because I've never been anywhere similar. Next big travel adventure: We're supposed to go to Peru this summer but with the turmoil there, we might be going to Best of Eastern Europe with RS instead! |
