Nancy is a passionate, self proclaimed, PR representative for insects. While earning her Master's degree at the University of Georgia in Entomology, it became crystal clear that most people did not see insects the way she did. Following her Master's, Nancy flew to the heart of the Ecuadorian cloud forest where she worked in an ecolodge. After two years, Nancy traded her leafy green jungle for the concrete jungle of Quito where she designs her own tours under the name SciBugs. She has been working in Ecuadorian Tourism since 2015.

We had an amazing time! The places, food and nature were more than we expected! Nancy’s care was just amazing, and she did above and beyond! Making things happen in last minute with no problems. She brought excellent guides who showed us so much more than you can see. And her expertise is great! Thank you Nancy for an unforgettable time!

Nancy, with SciBugs, has given me a life-changing unforgettable experience. From the rich history of Ecuador to its extreme biodiversity, her tours are all encompassing. Nancy was flexible for our personal experiences. She planned every fine detail so we could experience a new culture without stress. I felt safe knowing she had years of experience with these locations. Each ecolodge was spectacular in its own way. We toured the city of Quito historical district, dove into the food and coffee, and enjoyed being surrounded by the Andes mountains. After acclimating, we adventured into the Amazonian rainforest for four full days. I would absolutely join another tour with SciBugs.

This was a great way to start the SciBugs Evolution Tour, even though it has nothing to do with bugs or evolution. I had a great time touring through churches and art galleries, and trying local treats like hot chocolate with chunks of cheese in it. We finished our tour with a visit to the Virgin of Quito, a giant statue of "Apocalypse Mary" that overlooked the city. Nancy was a great guide, providing interesting context and navigating through unexpected closures and schedule changes.
