Mentoring Class 17: The Soul-ar Sisters

As Tim McGraw wisely said: “Seventeen only comes once in a lifetime…” and when it comes to the latest Brownell Mentoring Class, we couldn’t agree more! We’re thrilled to welcome four new all-stars to the Brownell Hosting Program. They were in training at the Birmingham office during the Solar Eclipse, so they are aptly nicknamed “The Soul-ar Sisters” (pictured above with their eclipse-viewing glasses!). These four women are from around the United States, but they share the same passion for authentic travel experiences around the world. Get to know these ladies better below.
