Cultural Specialist Thomas Talboy Leads Tours through Europe
Founder of Ubiquity International Enjoys Sharing Travel Experiences

Piedmont, CA – February 21, 2006 – Thomas Talboy likes to share his knowledge with others. As a lifelong learner, educator, lawyer and traveler, he created a platform for doing just that when in 2004 he founded Ubiquity International, the premier provider of unique cultural, historical and educational travel experiences throughout the world.

“The world offers so many exciting opportunities,” said Talboy, who began combining his book smarts with his hands-on travel during his first trip to Europe at the age of 18. “The more you explore different cultures, the more you want to learn. Knowledge is limitless.”

The name Ubiquity International was selected by Talboy from the Latin word “ubique,” meaning everywhere, and that’s exactly the idea he wanted to convey. Ubiquity International will soon be offering tours everywhere in the world.

Specialized itineraries are currently available to destinations in Italy, France, Greece, Peru, Spain and Ireland. Tours are led by Cultural Specialists who share their knowledge about the language, art, history and culture of the destinations, offering travelers a unique perspective into the sites and cities visited.

It doesn’t stop there. Talboy, who has a PhD in Classics from the University of Nottingham, UK, and a master’s degree in both Greek Drama and Ancient History, also offers travel and destination reading suggestions on the Ubiquity International website, www.ubiquityinternational.com. He recently launched a new feature, Dr. Tom’s Traveling News and Trivia, to engage web-savvy travelers. Available as a newsfeed, Talboy provides commentary on cultural news headlines, sharing his knowledge and insight on a variety of topics.  

Talboy is an author and contributing editor of Sophocles: Fragmentary Plays and he is currently writing a Rome destination guide for travelers. He teaches language courses at private schools in the Bay Area and Monterey. Talboy is a sought-after speaker for his specialization in language, art, history and culture of many European destinations, in particular Italy and Greece.

Talboy is involved with Classical and Medieval theater productions, is an active member of the San Francisco Commonwealth Club and the American Philological Association, among others. He is a member of the Board of Directors for the International Language and Culture Foundation and the Board of Advisors for the Hellenic Cultural Institute, Central Coast California.  In addition to sharing his knowledge and experience with individuals and families as they travel abroad, Talboy enjoys reading historical fiction and cooking a variety of international cuisines. He is a professionally certified Destination Specialist in both Italy and European Culture & Heritage, and is a member of the American Society of Travel Agents.
