George Mason University’s Tourism Management course-work brought Alyssa into the hands of Visit Fairfax in January. As an intern, she’s learning all she can about destination marketing and getting to experience all that Fairfax County has to offer. Her favorite thing in the world is conversation over a cup of coffee or a pint of IPA with her boyfriend. Typical topics of discussion: astrology, “ancient aliens,” utopian futures, or anything mystic and out of this world. “Sometimes the greatest adventure is simply a conversation.” – Amadeus Wolfe
