Betsy Holsopple

Position: Sales & Group Consultant

Years with Explorer Ventures: For almost ten years (with a couple of sabbaticals mixed in 😉)
Living place: North Carolina – USA
Business/Experience/Education backgrounds: I have undergraduate and graduate degrees in Political Science and thought I would go into statistical analysis and research. Well, life and kids had other plans. I was lucky to have an “inside connection” at EV, and I have enjoyed the connections made and information learned about diving and destinations!
Years Diving (or a bit of her passion for the ocean): I got certified in my 20s and have dived sporadically since. Hopefully, my future schedule will allow more of it!
Favorite place to travel/dive: Basically, anywhere I haven’t been before (although I will always return to Costa Rica – PURA VIDA!)
Favorite pastime/hobby: I love hiking and camping – to be out in nature and how it intensifies all the senses.
Something unique or little known about her: I travelled the US in a VW bus after graduating college. We broke down in Colorado, and I worked as a roller skating waitress while we raised money to get going again.
Favorite quote:  “Don’t trip over what’s behind you.”
