Executive Team
Bryan Lewis
President
Born in San Francisco, raised in Minneapolis, and now settled in Boston, Bryan began his career in the International travel industry 10 years ago in the student travel business. What started as a sales job with a small student tour operator eventually became a lifestyle as the Vice President of Sales for StudentCity.com, a division of First Choice Holidays, PLC (now TUI Travel, PLC). It was there where he developed a passion for group travel through student packages to Mexico and the Caribbean. In recent years, he has broadened his travel experience through trips to Europe, Russia, and even Cuba, where he acquired a true appreciation for other societies and cultures. His desire to provide an opportunity for others to share these experiences through travel was the foundation of Tenon Tours.

Sarah Huskey
Marketing Director
Born and raised in the Boston area, Sarah first experienced international travel on a month long trip to Europe in September 2001. After traveling through Europe for 30 days, shooting 32 rolls of film, paragliding in the Swiss Alps, biking the Rhine River and hiking the villages of the Cinque Terre, Sarah decided that she needed to share her travel experience and knowledge with others. As a Senior Sales Executive at Explorica Inc., Sarah was able to share her passion for travel with teachers and students planning international education tours. In addition to traveling through Europe, she has also visited China, Thailand and Morocco. Her favorite travel experience would be camping on the great wall of China during the summer of 2007. Sarah is currently planning her wedding, which will take place in the Cinque Terre in the fall of 2009.
Our Philosophy
Tenon Tours was built on the belief that those who travel the world become better-rounded, more experienced, more tolerant, and more accepting people. International travel can change your life, develop life long relationships, present new opportunities, and provide an education unlike anything one will experience in their every day life. To immerse oneself in another culture’s social community provides more than what travel itself will provide. It will provide an understanding and appreciation for how other societies live, interact, eat, drink, celebrate, thrive, and survive, among other things. From the tourist sights to the sounds, the smells, the landscape, the nightlife, the social interaction, right down to the currency, the local beer, wine, and food, unique cars, buildings, and local establishments, it’s very different than how you live every day. And to share it with people like you makes it even better. We promote three things while traveling on our trips: Culture, Community, and Camaraderie. Appreciate all of them for what they are. After all… It’s a Big World. Travel It.
