Alexis got her first taste of international travel climbing 19,000-foot volcanoes in Ecuador and was instantly hooked on the thrill of exploring new cultures, ecosystems and landscapes. Her passion for adventure and conservation led to a 15-year career leading wilderness expeditions for the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) in the Canadian Yukon, the Alaska Range, Patagonian Andes, Baja Mexico, the Indian Himalaya, and more.
With a degree in Environmental Studies, Alexis has always been interested in the relationships between humans and nature. Some of her most profound experiences include feeding carrots to Sudan (the world’s last male Northern White Rhino) in Kenya, holding the world’s smallest chameleon on her fingertip in Madagascar, and standing mere feet away from a mountain gorilla in Rwanda.
Alexis believes in the power of travel to transform lives, create connections, boost rural economies and protect threatened species. She looks forward to helping guests experience the adventures of a lifetime while making the world a better place.
