Travel like a rock star. Empower yourself with the confidence to interact with foreign cultures without making unnecessary mistakes. For instance, if you offer your business card to an elder in China, isn't it better to know in advance that you should bow your head and use both hands? If Rudyard Kipling had known what I know when he first wrote, “East is East and West is West..." he would not have lamented that "never the twain shall meet.” Instead, he'd know all it takes is a little respect, and a well-prepared orientation from a cultural coach. Knowing why people do what they do and helping you understand it all to get the most out of your trip is what I do. My background is journalism and cultural anthropology. I am a writer, trained speaker, experienced Globetripper, and all-around student of mankind. I prepare travelers for immersion into foreign environments; offer consultations for multi-cultural relationships, adoptions, and workplace dynamics; and host multi-cultural discussions, travel seminars, and cultural-immersion workshops. I work with individuals and large groups. A complete list of services is below. For more information, send an email to: culturecoach@globetrippin.com
