Dan Friesen

Once upon a time (1972, to be more precise), Dan spent six months abroad with his family learning German, eating bratwurst, and exploring Europe in a VW Beetle. Twenty years later, while he was toiling away as a CPA, his father, George, said, "Dan, I've just converted my tour company to a walking format and need some help. Would you be interested in traveling the world to plan fascinating walks, meet interesting locals, find intriguing cultural activities, and then share the Adventure with a fun and active group of travelers?" Dan considered the offer for about 30 seconds, then grabbed his overcoat and handed his resignation to his boss on the way out the door. In 1996, when George retired, he handed the company keys over to Dan. So now you know how the fairy tale began and why Dan is compelled to "count noses" on the coach.
