We discuss the magic of community boards, the joy of slow travel, & starting a walking tour company during the pandemic (there seems to be a theme with these amazing tour companies!). Juanita also shares with us her favourite place on earth - Joshua Tree National Park. We cover sustainability in the travel industry, growing up on a farm, & how many walking tours you can fit into one New York City trip.
