Dora Liu

Torrance, CA

Active & Adventure Specialist

When I travel, I want to learn something new and get in a good workout. As an active traveler myself, my vacation destinations double as my gym. I have hiked in over 27 of the US National Parks with the goal of visiting all of them. I've traveled to 10 countries across five continents so far. I've experienced various travel styles, from escorted tours to independent travel, and explored the waters through river and ocean cruises. Each destination and experience have contributed to my understanding of different lands and travel as a whole. Additionally, I have formal training and have earned certifications as an Active and Adventure Specialist and a Hawaii Destination Expert. I founded my business, Ahu Adventure Travel, to leverage all this knowledge and experience for you. [CST #2130386-70]

Have you ever been on a tour bus seeing the sights? The tour guide points to the scenery, as the bus keeps moving along, and exclaims, “Look at the mountain over there!” Did you want to just look or did you want to get out and hike that mountain? I want to hike that mountain. I know...
