Like to travel?
So does Professor Carol. On behalf of Smithsonian Journeys, she currently leads arts tours to Europe and Russia and speaks on ships.
Not ready to sail away or climb the Matterhorn? You can stay at home while Carol sends you greetings from around the world with resources for your studies of geography and history.
“Travel allows you to discover new sights, sounds, and tastes (umm, food). It’s a way of touching history and getting closer to the arts that enliven that history.
“I never imagined I would be blessed with the opportunities I now have to travel extensively. Growing up, travel was expensive and almost impossible. I dreamed primarily of Russia, and travel there was definitely impossible.
“But from my little house in Roanoke, Virginia, I traveled the world through the magic of books, and photos, and even music. Now when I visit a foreign land, it is more the fulfillment of a long process than a brand new experience.
“And revisiting a place is like encountering an old friend.

Arts tours can be a great way to raise funds for an organization or to reward loyal patrons. Carol has led her own whirlwind tours through Russia and acted as tour guide for others in Germany, Austria, and the United States.
If you would like for Carol to lead your arts tour, contact her concerning dates and venues.
Carol’s tours are not for sissies! You should like your days jam-packed with concerts, museums, palaces, architecture, night life, and rubbing elbows with the locals. Bring your walking shoes.
