My first plane ride was in 1968, when I was nine months old. As new immigrants to Canada, my parents had no family or friends here, so they put me on a plane and flew me to Croatia so my grandparents could look after me for about a year.
I think I must have been bitten on that flight…by the travel bug, because I’ve loved to travel ever since.
Fast forward to today, after more than 30 years in the travel business, I am happy to say that I’ve worked with clients from across Canada in making their vacation dreams come true.
I often get asked, “What’s your favourite place?” and I can honestly say, I have no answer to that question because EVERY destination I’ve been to has provided me with unforgettable experiences and memories to last a lifetime....which is why I've stayed in this crazy business so long....I want my clients to come back with unforgettable experiences and memories to last a lifetime too!
Peru...Bermuda....China....Iceland....Amalfi Coast.....British Columbia....St. Lucia....all so different and each amazing in so many ways!
As an Independent Travel Advisor, I love having the freedom to work from home and to set my own hours. One service my clients LOVE is house-calls....which are complimentary but must be booked in advance.
Of course, I book a lot of all-inclusive vacations for my clients, however, I specialize in F.I.T (fully independent travel) small group travel, soft-adventure, and luxury travel.
Please feel free to reach out to me and I’ll be happy to work with you, in making YOUR vacation dreams come true.
