For more than 14 years I've been a full-time travel photographer and international tour organizer having created and led over 120 five-star-rated international tours in over 30 countries on 5 continents (soon to be 6), plus over 100 domestic tours in the U.S. When not traveling I can often be found in Chicago, my hometown, however, I've been location-independent (meaning I have no permanent home) for 9+ years and traditionally spend anywhere from 8 - 9 months on the road internationally scouting and leading my tours. I have two travel brands, PhotoEnrichment Adventures ( https://PhotoEnrichment.com ) and Alla Campagna Experiences ( https://AllaCampagna.com ).

I've also launched a travel blog/hub ( https://ContinentalDRIFTER.co ) and a YouTube channel under my Continental DRIFTER® brand ( http://youtube.com/continentaldrifter ), as well as a podcast called Travel Thoughts from a Continental DRIFTER®, found on Apple Podcasts.

I'm a third-generation restaurateur, and although I'm no longer active in that business as an operator, I make food a big part of my tours and I can certainly speak that language.

I have an MBA in International Business from United States International University in Mexico City (I lived for over a year) and San Diego, California (1995), and a B.S. in Business Administration with a minor in Small Business and Entrepreneurship from the Indiana University Kellogg School of Management (1985).

I used to co-host the Traveling Image Makers podcast where we interviewed some of the top photographers in the world and we've done over 170 episodes, plus I've been a guest on dozens of other podcasts over the years ( https://continentaldrifter.co/podcasts ).

For the past 10+ years, I've been a featured speaker on travel and photography at the Travel & Adventure Shows throughout the U.S.; the New York Times Travel Show; TBEX (the Travel Bloggers Exchange) in Ireland, Spain, Israel, and Sweden; as well as the IOETI Media conference in Cairo, Egypt.
