“JoEllen takes her time to explain everything while traveling… While being her student, she made it a priority to connect culture, history, and her own experiences to broaden my understanding of the globe. “

JoEllen is the first person I call when I want to go somewhere. She has literally been everywhere, speaks multiple languages and is the most efficient tour guide I’ve ever met.
