Karen has an incredible amount of joy that is contagious to everyone. She’s wonderful caring. M. M., Guilford CT Just wanted to let you know Karen was an outstanding host. I’m sure I am speaking for the group in this regard. She opened my eyes to Argentine culture, the vast amount of wildlife, the outstanding scenery and so much more. Whatever my exceptions going in have been far exceeded. The bar is higher than ever for the next trip! We were so fortunate to have Karen. V.
