TTB 203: Guatemala, the Land of Eternal Spring Valerie Russel is the CEO of Due South Travels, which offers custom guided tours throughout Guatemala, at a price point that makes travel accessible to people who never imagined it was possible. A native of Nyack, New York, Val was educated in Washington, DC, and Bournemouth, England and settled down in the New York metro area, prepared for a career in law enforcement.  After a decade of working to travel, Val decided to finally live the life she had been dreaming about and quit her job as a Narcotic Investigator to start Due South Travels.  She arrived in Guatemala in July 2017 and now lives in Antigua with her two expat felines.
