About: Dianne

My love of travel started in the sixth grade when I visited the ocean for the first time. After that there was no looking back. Over the years I've traveled at every opportunity, and in 2009 I started working for Valley Tours in Stillwater, MN as a tour director. I have much experience traveling myself, leading groups, and travel/tour planning. My desire going forward is to help people to see the world - to travel to places they've only dreamed about!

I’m starting to have more of an appreciation for my home town – at least right now while it’s warm. In January, not so much. It was a beautiful day here today so I went downtown to the art fair. After wandering through the booths of a wide variety of wares, I purchased a homemade.
