I enjoy sharing Durango with media visitors. Linda Ballou arrived for a FAM trip that opened my eyes and engaged me in adventures in our area. Having been the Public Relations Consultant for Durango for over 7 years, it was refreshing to travel with Linda and explore my own backyard. While I enjoyed Linda's visit, I am amazed at the stories she secured (and continues to place) about the Durangoarea. Linda over-delivers and exceeded my expectation for a FAM trip. I hope she comes back to visit.
Best,

You can practically hear the birds, smell the rain, and see the snow-capped mountains as Linda tells stories with such vivid and exemplary detail. She gives a whole new meaning to adventure and exploration! Linda takes you on the ride of your life! Scrambling through the mountains in Alaska, encountering a momentous sea storm in Hawaii, and tussles through an excursion with a broken rib. Linda reminds me of a brave pioneer woman full of ambition to see and experience every aspect of life. And if her journey into the deep blue waters of the Sea of Cortez in a kayak doesn’t inspire you, then I don’t know what will. Fit Life and Travel
