Meet your Hosts
We’re Anne-Marie and Rob, married for over 30 years and longtime travel companions across continents and cultures. As university professors with 20 years of combined experience leading study abroad programs, we’re passionate about designing immersive, intellectually engaging travel experiences that are as flexible and fun as they are meaningful.
Rob holds a PhD in Criminology and an MFA in Creative Writing, blending analytical thinking with a storyteller’s eye for detail and creativity. He's designed multiple study abroad courses for his students in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Czechia (Czech Republic), and Israel. Anne-Marie has a BA and MA in French, a PhD in Nursing and Healthcare Innovation with a career that spans both clinical practice and academia.
Fluent in French and immersed in French culture, Anne-Marie brings a unique global lens to every journey—one rooted in lived experience. As an undergraduate, she spent a year studying in Angers, France, living with a host family in the same Loire Valley city where we launch the Wine & War in the Loire global field seminar. We've remained close with her French “family,” returning there almost every summer since the mid-2000s to stay connected and learn to experience Angers not as tourists, but as part-time locals.
Through Passport Perspectives Abroad, we invite fellow lifelong learners to travel not just as visitors, but as thoughtful explorers—engaging with the history, culture, and everyday life of the places we know and love best.
