I came to the US when I was 14 years old. My first encounter with the country was in Colorado, in Fort Collins. I spent 2 months with a family. My English was not that good, but they were so nice and so welcoming that I had a blast. They took me around Colorado, from Mesa Verde to Durango to Great Sand Dunes. I came back year after year. I studied in UCSD, in La Jolla, which is certainly one of the most beautiful spots on earth. I went back to Paris and worked in the fashion industry for a while and was always in touch with the US for my job. I was lucky enough to do a 2 months road trip through all the great parks of the west between two jobs. I ended up in the tourism industry and only worked with the US market so every three months, I was going from NYC, to Philadelphia, Miami, Dallas, LA and Seattle. I then met my husband in New York (yes, it was a professional meeting that changed my life!) and never returned to Europe, except for holidays. I can almost say, I’ve been everywhere, man! There are very few states where I have not set foot! Kim Chisholm, Vice-President / Sales Executive
I was born in Paris but moved to Massachusetts when I was 6 months old. I lived in Andover, near Boston, until I was twelve and my parents divorced. I followed my mother in Paris. I returned to the US when I was 21 years old and started working for the French Government Tourist Office promoting France. I then moved to San Francisco and returned to New York after a couple of years and become the Marketing Director for Maison de la France. I travelled extensively in the US for leisure and business. I conducted travel agents seminar series and some trade shows.

We are still in the Northern region of Yellowstone National Park and are taking you to a natural classroom in the Lamar Valley, considered the "American Serengeti" due to the large and easy-to-see populations of wildlife found in the area. This is the best place on earth to view wolves.

Let’s go for another adventure in Winter Wonderland in the Wild Wild West.

It’s a new year, it’s a new continent, and it’s all about Winter Wonderland in the Wild Wild West.
Clients seeking adventure, freedom and wilderness will enjoy the natural wonders of Wyoming, Montana & Utah.

Everywhere we went the health and human safety was paramount. Hotels, restaurants, ski lifts and tours providers have all taken drastic steps to protect clients.
New protocols and procedures made it possible for us to safely travel and enjoy the outdoors.

For the first episode, we will concentrate on the popular skiing destination of Jackson Hole, the perfect getaway for winter activities.
Today, we will show you the reality of a Grand Teton Winter Safari. Sometimes the animals are by the road, sometimes they are much further away.
The wildlife movies we made are with our iPhones held up to our binoculars, so the quality is not great but the idea is to give you a true picture. This is what you clients will see! No fake advertising! What you see if what you get!

It’s not too late to plan a winter vacation and it’s the perfect time to plan a summer or fall adventure.
