Inspired by my deep passion for travel and photography, I founded Shutter Tours, a top-tier tour company based in the vibrant city of Seattle. My journeys have taken me to some of the world's most stunning locations, allowing me to gain a profound appreciation for the distinct cultures and remarkable individuals I've encountered along the way.
As a fourth-generation Seattleite, I take immense pride in calling this city my home, cherishing its rich history and natural splendor. Through Shutter Tours, I am thrilled to extend an invitation to others, encouraging them to embark on their own adventures, discover new horizons, and capture the enchanting essence of travel throughout their tour with us.
