How it All Started

Steve and Linda started Small Group Tours by the Traveling Professor in 2010.  They are retirees who started a second career, in other words, their Second Act.  They have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, MoneyNing, and WCBS Radio.   Steve is the author of "The Traveling Professor's Guide to Paris".  Steve left his job as a mathematics professor and Linda left her job as an office manager. 

Steve and Linda have not only created a succesful career after retirement, they have the best jobs in the world. What could be better than leading small groups of travelers to Europe, Canada, and South America?  They started with running two tours a year to Paris.  Since then, they have added Italy, Peru, Austria, Croatia, Iceland, Ireland, Iceland, Norway and Scotland to their portfolio of touring options for their clients.  They have run as many as 18 small group tours per year and are going strong.
