Suzanne,
Your presence on our PNG trip enriched my travel
experience. The love and commitment you have for the PNG
people was so apparent-especially when we showed up at
the villages and the locals came up to you in open
arms. Thank you for sharing with us all the wonderful
aspects of their culture.
National Geographic/Lindblad is our choice of travel companies because they do
customize their staff with people who are passionate about the location and culture.
My world has been enriched because of your presence on this trip. (I let them know
this on the survey as well)…. Enjoy your holidays and continue to dazzle travelers
you share PNG with.
Pat R

… Beyond the hills, wisps of smoke rise from the cooking fires of countless small
homesteads. The air is fresh; a gentle breeze carries the calls of unseen birds.
Twee-de-de-de-twee, in descending notes with an accent on the final twee.
Probably little has changed since the arrival of the first outsiders.
My reverie is interrupted by a gentle announcement from Suzanne Noakes, our
group leader. It was time for our tour…

We have some great news! Mr. R (from the Tumbuna departure in May) has just donated

First of all, we want to thank you for having such an impact on tour with our clients and so
much so that giving back, becomes important to them. This is why we do what we do!

They dance when a child is born; dance when the child reaches puberty ; dance when the youth passes into adulthood ; and dance at weddings ; at parties and at funerals. And of course when visitors come to their village …like us!
