Stories off the Beaten Path

Stories take us to remarkable places, and as a storyteller, I am excited to be your guide on the off-road adventure through the world of stories. Who knows where we may go? East of the Sun and West of the Moon? To see the Princess on the Glass Mountain? The possibilities are endless. Whether with adults or children, inside a library or outside around the campfire I am excited to take your listeners on a journey that inspires them to dive deeper into the stories around them. Let's talk more about exploring off the beaten path with storytelling this summer and all through the year!
