My life has been shaped by travels to more than 40 countries, largely because of people who went out of their way to ensure I was safe, comfortable and experiencing their country at its best. Sometimes they were friends; many other times they were complete strangers. I learned so much about what it means to be international – both as a guest and host. After completing two degrees in the US, I attended grad school in the UK. Upon returning to the US, I started Amigo Free Walking Tours, where I get to work alongside some amazing guides showing guests to San Antonio the city's treasured places. I love that GuruWalk connects people who might otherwise be ships passing in the night. And it allows me to show off the beautiful city I've called home since my earliest days. Join me for a walk through its streets and along its famed river to see why it's so special!
