Tad Pierson
Road Ethnographer aka Experience Ambassador

Tad is a 30 year veteran of the travel industry, owning and operating his own tour company where he coined the term Anthrotourism to describe his approach to the business of Travel. Before that he traveled his own journey around the globe. He is perhaps more interested in Why you travel than Where you travel. His love of the Blues and the history of American music led him to Memphis and the Mississippi Delta. He agrees with Willie Nelson who said, "Most people love that fantasy of catching the train that whistles in the night."
