When their conversation ended, I of course inquired about the tours because, well who doesn’t love a good tour!</p><p><br></p><p>As it turns out, Walker had recently purchased an old lobster boat and was running tours around the area of Stonington. I of course love being out on the water so the next day we drove back and met him for a couple hour or so boat ride. We learned about his childhood growing up in the area, some of the history of the local islands, saw a couple dolphins and just generally had an amazing time with him.</p><p><br></p><p>Walker headed back to the west coast and Hawaii for the winter and is slowly making his way back east for another summer season. He is a poet, a tour guide, a tea expert, a musician and if you were to judge someone by their Instagram, he is also the 1 person you would choose to take an adventure with.</p><p><br></p><p>I am very excited to catch up with Walker on this week’s episode. I have no clue at all where this one may go so hang on and enjoy.
