Seamus Hogg is an Escape Artist that grew up in Chicago but spent many of the weekends of his youth exploring the lakes and trails (and later microbrews) of Wisconsin with his family. Unforgettable trips to Europe, Japan, China, Costa Rica, Peru, and throughout the US, inspired him to apply his marketing experience in the travel industry. He completed a Master’s Degree in Sustainable Tourism at The George Washington University and spent a summer guiding backpacking trips in Bolivia and winter/spring in Greenland working with the national tourism board.

One of our guest speakers this evening is also Evergreen Escapes International Travel Specialist, Kirsten Gardner, who has led and planned trips abroad for nearly a decade and has guided trekking and culinary tours in both Latin America, Europe and the United States.
