I found out I could take a course to become a volunteer guide with Boston By Foot (www.bostonbyfoot.com) back in 2005, but I had missed the spring course dates. I joined as a member and went on a tour and was hooked. My work travel prevented me from training in 2006, but I went on as many tours as I could. I achieved my goal this spring and now I am giving tours of Boston, mainly in the old area around Faneuil Hall (part of the Freedom Trail) on the weekends. I absolutely love it and I keep learning more about my hometown.
