BRIAN BIRKENSTEIN
Traveling entered Brian’s life early when the travel bug had taken hold. He thought that a trip post-college was his last hoorah before cutting his hair, putting on a tie, and getting a “normal” job, but 24 years later, none of that happened. In the almost quarter-century since he started traveling, he has been to all 50 US States, 71 Countries, and all seven continents, including when he worked as a janitor in Antarctica (and wrote a book about it called Cleaning Up After Science). Brian is always happy to return from his travels to his home in Tacoma, Washington. he brings his lifetime of passion for travel and takes great joy in showing the Pacific Northwest, and the world, to others.
