Tina Patterson was born and raised in Europe, educated in the United States and has been working in the travel industry for the past 25 years. Beginning with her first journey to the Himalayan Kingdoms of Bhutan and Nepal at a time when the Internet did not exist, cell phones were unheard of and the world seemed more remote, she has continued to be an intrepid traveler.

It is her great fortune to be able to share her insights and experiences gained from these journeys throughout Asia and the Middle East over the years with friends and fellow travelers.
