I work as a guide at Prangli Travel and, outside of that, as a freelance nature tour leader. I came into this role after working in the field of communications, so I feel right at home here. For me, the connection between guiding and my previous work is strong\u2014I enjoy \u201ctranslating\u201d nature, history, or a new environment into an engaging story for curious eyes and minds. I also love that I get to see people\u2019s reactions immediately\u2014in their eyes and smiles. That instant feedback, along with my curiosity for new places, people, and knowledge, keeps me learning and motivated every day.<\/p>\n
\u201cHelen never loses her spark or cheerful spirit. She handles herself wonderfully both at sea and in the forest. She can lift the spirits of any group, in any weather. She\u2019s full of fascinating stories\u2014and her sense of humor is spot on. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll often see her zipping around Prangli with corporate groups. If she weren\u2019t called Helen, we\u2019d probably name her \u2018Jack of all trades\u2019\u2014because she truly is. Helen is an art historian by education and also trained as a nature guide at Luua Forestry School.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cHelen radiates joy and energy\u2014it\u2019s like she makes the sun shine on a rainy day. Even after a stormy boat ride, she knows how to breathe new life into the group and lead the day with laughter and lightness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s the kind of person who leaves a lasting impression\u2014spend just 10 minutes with her and it\u2019s impossible not to be positively affected. For her age, she\u2019s gathered a remarkable amount of life wisdom, and she shares it generously. Better get your abs ready before meeting her\u2014she\u2019s always ready with a good joke!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cOne of the hardest tasks would be trying to count all the projects Helen currently has on her plate. Or to write down all the new ideas she thinks up in a day\u2014or even in an hour or a minute. No suggestion is ever too crazy or impossible for her. And when it comes to humor\u2014she\u2019s got plenty. In fact, she\u2019s got a real gift for it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3326,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3533","giid","type-giid","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
