meet renee, COTA
After many years as a stay-at-home mom, Renee became a COTA. She has spent the past two years traveling the Eastern seaboard with Cariant. Her newly retired husband, Normand, started traveling with her recently, and the two love exploring each new city. They, along with their two Maltese dogs, recently landed in Tampa, Florida to be near Renee's mother.
One of the favorite side trips of these self-described newlyweds (although they've been married for over five years) is a quick ride down to St. Pete Beach to watch the sunset then a seafood dinner at a kitschy local restaurant they discovered, the 4th Street Shrimp Store.
Being a traveling therapist allows Renee to take advantage of sunny climates like Florida's, be near family (her next stop will be Virginia to spend time with her grandchildren), and explore with her favorite person, Normand, what this country has to offer.
