Introduction (Continued)

Nancy Holston

Nancy Holston grew up in northern Indiana. After deciding that teaching English may not be her calling, she enlisted in the US Army and spent most of her two year enlistment traveling around Western Europe.  That was the beginning of her love for travel and a career of service to the public. 

After her discharge from the military she was hired by the Federal Aviation Administration where she served until her retirement in August of 2008. She enjoyed frequent business and personal travel, often staying on after business concluded to explore an area that was a favorite or new territory.  She is looking forward to sharing her knowledge of past travels and what she will learn from travel to come.
