Group Planner | Year Started in travel: 2003

I’ve always been an explorer, driven by a passion for adventure and a curiosity to learn, grow, and connect with the world around me. My love for travel began early, with my parents introducing me to the wonders of the world through sailing. It was then I realized that life is all about the experiences we have, the people we meet, the places we go, and the food we savor. These moments shape who we are, and I am here to help you create unforgettable memories.

As a dedicated travel planner, my goal is to craft seamless and memorable journeys that reflect your unique interests. I love curating travel experiences, from managing budgets to researching destinations, booking accommodations, organizing activities, and ensuring every detail, big or small, is taken care of. Watching it all come together and seeing the joy it brings my clients is what fuels my passion.

I’ve had the privilege of exploring many corners of the globe, from riding elephants in Thailand and playing soccer at an elephant sanctuary, to standing atop the CN Tower in Toronto for the famous Edgewalk. The coast is where my heart truly lies—I’ve explored the Caribbean Islands, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, and soon, Belize. My travels have also taken me across Europe, from self-planned itineraries to group tours and cruises. I’ve ventured to all of Canada’s provinces (minus the Northwest Territories), with highlights like a remote Orca and Sea Lion kayaking adventure on Victoria Island, a helicopter tour and horseback riding through the rugged mountains of Banff and Canmore, visiting the breathtaking Moraine and Louise Lakes.

The United States is another place I know well, with favorite destinations such as New York, Chicago, Florida, California, Arizona, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

I would be truly honored to make your travel dreams a reality. I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
