Bent Fink-Jensen spent  many years in the IT industry and on retirement decided to share his passion for bike touring with others.

Born in Denmark he practically grew up on a bike and did his first bike tour as a teenager. After emigrating to Canada in 1968 he took up biking again as his work and family permitted and has completed many bike tours in North America and Europe. He is on the executive of the Oakville Cycling Club and leads tours for the OCC and Toronto Bicycling Network.  He is a certified CAN-BIKE instructor and has also completed Adventure Cycling Organization's bike tour leadership course. Bent is an avid amateur photographer who believes the best souvenirs are the pictures you take.  He is also a member of Toastmasters and has spoken about bike touring at a number of conferences and exhibitions.

 


 
 

Anne-Marie de Lavison, M.A. has spent most of her working life organizing major conferences, conventions and travel incentive programs across Canada, the US, the Caribbean, Mexico and Europe for corporate and association clients. She has combined over 20 years experience in the logistical planning of events with her knowledge of the places she has visited extensively to create the ultimate travel experience.

 Anne-Marie, born in Montreal is fluently bilingual, with very strong ties to England and France, in particular to Marseille and Provence where her father was born and raised and to Southern England, where her mother was born and bred. Because of her great love of the region she has decided that she wanted to share her passion and knowledge of Provence with others eager to experience France. After a personalized tour to Provence where people actually get to meet and dine with interesting French from the area, people are asking for similar experiences in other regions and countries.
