Travel Tip: On every holiday you should visit or try something that you cannot experience back home. Here are a few favourite memories of mine...

1. Day 3 of hiking the Inka trail to Machu Picchu watching the sunrise in the distance giving us our first glance of Machu Picchu.  It was so very rewarding!
2. Seeing the koala bears, wallabies, kangaroos, seals and whales while visiting Kangaroo Island, known as the ‘Galapagos of the South Pacific”.  It was such a unique island.  I even saw Australia’s second deadliest snake on the side of the local road!
3. Taking in the firework display over Magic Kingdom with my family.
   ​

Where to next?: I am escorting a small group to Morocco this Fall!  We will be travelling with G Adventures on their “Kasbahs & Dessert Tour”.  Travelling from Casablanca and Marrakech with some added highlights including a camel ride in the Sahara Desert.
 
Favourite Part of my Job: There is nothing more rewarding and inspiring then helping someone customize their dream holiday or check a bucket list destination.  90% percent of my travellers are repeat or work with me through a referral.  I take great pride in getting to know traveller's likes, dislikes, “must haves” & dreams.
