Brad Burckel ( Tour Director - Northern Europe )

My name is Brad Burckel.  My love for Europe started back in 2006, when I completed a year long study abroad program in Germany, organized by a partnership between the U.S. and German Congresses.  During this year I lived with a Bavarian family, studied the German language, and worked at a German company.  This immersion experience only made me want to travel more.  After completing a Masters in German Studies at the University of Alabama, I began teaching German at Samford University.  Since 2012, I have taught German and lead multiple groups through Germany and Austria. I am happily married to my wife Mary Margaret, and we have four young children together.
