about

JoAnne Patterson

Regional Manager, SW Ontario, Leisure Travel - Direct Travel Ancaster
905-648-4433

I’ve been in the travel industry over 30 years and enjoy experiencing every part of the world (my recent passion is South Africa’s great mix of safari, winelands, and trendy Cape Town). The personal connections I’ve made with hotel owners, tour operators, and guides allow me to craft unique itineraries with insider-access for nearly any interest.

Clients consider me an Australia and New Zealand expert – I have family in both countries and especially enjoy trekking outside of Queenstown, luxury lodge stays, cultural Melbourne, and, of course, snorkeling on the Reef. I’ve explored extensively with the top ocean and river-cruise lines, and have more recently embraced health and wellness travel, from quick spa breaks to hiking and cycling adventures.

Travel is an investment in your life.… Take advantage of the personal knowledge, expertise, and global connections I’ve built over more than two decades to design your custom travel experiences.
