One of my favorite things about travel is when I experience those unexpected moments that lock in a certain type of understanding. An understanding of the culture or history of the place I am in, an understanding of the struggles or joys of a community, a greater understanding of myself or the people I love. At Meandering Map Tours, I aim to create those moments for you while amplifying the stories of the communities and people who make Washington, D.C. so great. Through my tours and personalized experiences of the Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia area, I aim create the moments of both understanding and connection that I hope will remain a part of your travel stories, for years to come.
