Hi everyone! My name is Mary Downie, and I’m so excited to be part of this adventure with you all! A little about me—I love staying active and spending time outdoors. You’ll usually find me playing soccer or softball, going for a long walk, or getting a good workout in at the gym. I’m also a big fan of all things Bravo TV, traveling, day tripping to the beach (the sun and sand make everything better!), or simply spending time with my friends and family. When I’m not enjoying my (limited) free time, I am a School Counselor at Southwick Regional High School. I love my job and really enjoy working with high school students!
This will be my fourth trip with Global Glimpse – I have traveled to the DR (twice) and Ecuador previously with GG. I enjoy experiencing new cultures, meeting new people, and soaking up everything that a new destination can offer. I’ve also traveled to Costa Rica, Spain, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Ireland as well as all over the US. Next year, I’m heading to Paris, London, and the Amalfi Coast of Italy.
I’m looking forward to exploring a new country and culture with this group. I can’t wait to get to know each of you traveling with us, and share in all the memories we’re about to make. This is going to be an amazing experience, and I’m so happy we get to experience it together! Get ready to have fun and to make a difference!
