🇯🇴
This is .. JORDAN 🇯🇴
Last week I was lucky enough to spend 9 whole days exploring Jordan. I have been to Jordan before but many of the experiences and some of the areas we explored were new to me.
Jordan is a beautiful and vibrant country filled with undiscovered treasures and beautiful people.
What not to miss when traveling to Jordan:
📍 Petra - This is one of the most popular areas that Jordan is known for. A winding Siq that leads you to one of the most stunning and intricately carved rock cut tomb called the Treasury. The grounds are massive with so many areas to explore. I would highly recommend exploring Petra by day but heading back at night to experience the Treasury lit up under the stars.
📍 The Dead Sea - The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth and is so salty that you cannot help but float. The mud that can be found in the sea is well known for its many health benefits.
📍 Wadi Rum - This orange and red desert is famous for the many movies that have been shot there including Lawrence of Arabia. The towering red and orange rock formations make you feel like you are on mars.
📍 Aqaba - Jordan’s only coastal city is lined with palm trees and has amazing snorkelling and scuba diving in the Red Sea. There are many shops and markets to explore here and beautiful beaches to relax on.
Jordan has so much to offer and I cannot wait to return and explore more of this amazing country!

WHY you should hire a travel agent
Being a travel agent is more than just booking a trip - it is crafting a truly memorable trip and taking a personalized approach to things. The difference that personalizing a trip to each client’s needs and wants instead of picking a trip just off the shelf can make a huge difference!
When you google “what to do in Paris”, you will be faced with a sea of options for you to choose from and it can get overwhelming, take up a lot of time and cause unnecessary stress trying to pick the best option for yourself.
When you work with me, I always think back to our initial discussions where I ask many questions that are geared towards discovering your interests, travel style, and past adventures so that I can make recommendations that I think will be a great fit and make your trip that much better!
Maybe you:
✨ are a nature lover
✨ can’t leave a city without exploring the best museums
✨ love to relax on a beautiful beach
✨ want to get off the beaten path
Everything that we speak about plays a role in determining the right destination, accommodation, excursions, airline and anything else that is needed for your trip.
So, take a moment to visualize the kind of experiences you want to have and what you want out of your trip.
This is valuable information for me. It guides me in curating the perfect itinerary with moments that really resonate with your interests.
And if we haven’t had the pleasure of working together yet, take this list of things you’ve visualized and use it to keep yourself laser-focused as you plan your trip — the internet has a way of pulling even the best traveler in sooo many directions!
I hope you find this travel tip handy!

My first time SCUBA DIVING 🤿
I have always dreamt of what it would be like to dive. I researched the best dive sites in the world and where I would get my PADI. I planned trips over and over again but fear always got the best of me.
My heart raced at the thought of being under water and trying to breathe through the regulator - I am claustrophobic and as soon as I started thinking about being deep under the oceans surface that was the end of planning my trip.
When we were planning our most recent trip to Mexico, Kris stumbled across a diving company that allowed you to do shallow dives without first getting your PADI.
A professional diver was right with you the whole time and went through safety training on land and in the pool beforehand. I was nervous as diving is amazing but knew it could be dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing. We decided to try it, if I panicked then I would know diving wasn’t for me.
�And I admit, I panicked in the pool a bit but I told myself - just breathe.
When we got into the ocean, it was a completely different feeling and a whole new world opened up. Our first dive was the MUSA underwater museum which is a bunch of sculptures on the ocean floor that encourage coral growth. The other was the Manchones Coral Reef where we swam with colourful fish, lobsters and crabs.
It was one of the most peaceful and incredible things I have ever experienced! If I had let fear continue to take over I never would have checked diving off on my bucket list and I wouldn’t be planning our next dive and getting our PADI.
We have done some amazing things over the years around the world, but diving was one of our top experiences (in the ocean!).
The best things in life come when we get out of our comfort zone and stop letting fear take control.
Have you gone scuba diving? What was your experience like? Let me know below!👇🏼

Mexico
Top 3 things we did near Cancun 🌴
Mexico is one of my favourite countries to visit, I have been at least 8 times, and plan on visiting many more!
Although I do enjoy an all-inclusive here and there, I love to get off the resort and explore the surrounding area.
If you are heading to the Cancun area, here are the top 3 things that we did while we were there:
Scuba Diving - This has been on my bucket-list for years but I was always afraid of panicking while underwater. I admit, I did panic a little bit in the pool when we were going through our safety training BUT once I jumped into the ocean, all of the worry immediately went away. This was definitely one of the most incredible things I have done (ocean-wise) and I am hooked - currently planning our next dive!
Sailing on a private catamaran - This was a dream - we were picked up at the Marina Hacienda del Mar and whisked away to a new luxury hotel on Isla Mujeres (more on that later!). We had the whole catamaran to ourselves and a wonderful crew. We have been on many catamaran’s in the past but having one all to yourself as you sail through the ocean is pretty special!
Visiting Isla Mujeres - This was our second time to the island (and we visited twice during our stay!) and I would definitely return. The island has a laid back feel, with countless shops, bars & restaurants. The most common way to get around is by golf cart, you can drive the whole island in about 45 minutes or so, depending on how many stops you make. The island is full of breathtaking views from crystal clear blue water to towering cliffs. Isla Mujeres is a must visit!

Some highlights and major milestones that were hit this year were:
Traveling through Thailand for a month with Kristopher Blake with a stop in Tokyo

Traveling on a FAM with @visitjamaica and @aircanadavacations to explore the beautiful island and visit some of their top resorts - including a trip to the Sandals Royal Caribbean private island to see their overwater bungalows!
Doubling our business and welcoming new clients to Travel Agent without Borders!
Curating amazing itineraries for clients all over the world
Spending time with friends and family and making memories ❤
Thank you to everyone who supported us this year, it means the world to us!

Fairmont Chateau Laurier 🏰
Situated right across the river from Parliament Hill in Ottawa is the iconic Fairmont Chateau Laurier.
As soon as I walked through the golden doors I was taken back in time; the decor in the lobby alone is stunning! The Fairmont opened in 1912 and has preserved the French Renaissance style architecture throughout the hotel.
Did you know that the Fairmont has a gold section, which has a private check-in, gold room only floors as well as a luxurious lounge?
Our favourite suite within the gold collection was the Presidential Karsh Suite. This suite belonged to the world-renowned portrait photographer, Yousuf Karsh, where he, along with other rooms in the hotel, held photoshoots for international celebrities.
If you are looking for a place to stay while visiting Ottawa that is:
🗝️ Luxurious - from incredible suites, to private lounges
🗝️ Sustainable - with their programs to support the preservation of bees, commitment to single use plastics and their eco meet program
🗝️ In the centre of everything - walk out the golden doors to endless options of restaurants, bars, cafes and sightseeing
🗝️ Has amazing staff - every staff member that we came into contact with in the hotel was very friendly, helpful and professional
Then the Fairmont Chateau Laurier is the place to stay!

Has this ever happened to you? 👇🏼
Life is WAY too short not to enjoy every minute of your vacation!
Have you ever done all of the research online, took recommendations from friends, or booked something you saw on instagram and landed on what you thought was a great vacation?
BUT your vacation ends up not being quite what you envisioned for yourself?
It sounds to me like you may want to look into working with a travel agent that specializes in curating vacations tailored to clients individual needs for your next trip!
What does travel curation look like?
First, I get to know you, your interests, likes, dislikes, and travel goals. A hotel, destination, tour, cruise; may have been amazing for one person, but may not align with your travel style. Everyone travels differently and has different needs and wants along the way.
After I get to know you and what you are looking for, I curate an itinerary based based on YOUR travel style.
Your itinerary can be curated as little or as much as you want — it’s all about your preferences, the pace you like to travel at, and the activities you enjoy.
Whether you enjoy sitting poolside at a luxury resort in Mexico, indulging in the exquisite cuisine or observing lions wander the Serengeti on safari before returning to your private villa to get ready for a luxury dining experience in the bush - we will work on building the perfect itinerary for you.
It’s a truly personal experience, and it guarantees that you get what you want out of your travels!
If you are ready to explore the endless opportunities available to make your next vacation an incredible one, get in touch with me!

Have you caught yourself saying this? ‼️
“Booking a luxury all-inclusive package online is so easy. I’ll just do it myself.”
But is it? Here’s why my clients always call me to book their trips to resorts in the Caribbean! 👇
Not all luxury all-inclusive vacation packages are created equally. Accommodations, amenities, and even dining options are different from resort to resort.
Your time and your vacation is precious, and it can become a full-time job sifting through the internet trying to figure out if a resort is right for you.
This is why my clients love having me on speed dial. I know their preferences, the types of getaways they enjoy, and I cut through all of the travel overwhelm with suggestions that I know will meet their standards.
They never have to settle for subpar dining options, poor service, and rooms with a less-than-desirable view — I’ve got them every step of the way!
Do I only book luxury all-inclusives? Nope! I book many types of travel, however my specialities lie in luxury all-inclusives and luxury custom experiences for couples; whether that is a sailing on a private catamaran in Croatia or exploring many temples throughout Thailand.
Let’s book a quick call to chat about your wants, needs, and budget, and I’ll do the heavy lifting to find you your dream vacation.

A glimpse into the life of a travel agent 👩🏼💻
Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of a travel agent is like?
When I am traveling, things look a bit differently (obviously!) but when I am at home a typical day can look like this:
- Going through my calendar and prioritizing things that need to be done that day
- Connecting with clients about quotes, upcoming trips and questions
- Connecting with suppliers about client trips, industry news and pretty much anything and everything!
- Updating social media calendars
- Participating in training (we are always learning something new!)
- Troubleshooting if anything arises like delayed or cancelled flights
- Admin work (which I won’t be doing for much longer 👀 )
- Planning my own travel (I am doing this all the time, I find something amazing for a client and add it to my list, I cannot help myself!)
- And then there are the times when you are doing all of this but from across the globe!
No day is the same, I am always looking into new destinations, hotels, tours and any other aspect of travel that a client may be interested in, or that is up and coming or off the beaten path. I am always discovering new things, keeping up with travel industry news and keeping in touch with suppliers.
Have you ever thought of becoming a travel agent and wanted to know more? Are you curious about how your life could change by taking the leap and pursuing your dreams?
This is just a small glimpse into what it is like being a travel agent, if you want to know more feel free to reach out!

Take a break 🌸
When you’re caught in the craziness of everyday life, the good things that nurture a relationship can start falling lower on the priority list. We get so caught up in the routine of going to work, making sure the bills are paid, keeping track of appointments, trying to have a social life, working out… the list goes on.
Traveling gives you the opportunity to start putting your relationship first again and to remember all of the great things you’ve accomplished together. This is part of why I love travel! I notice when I have been home for a while that I fall into that routine of everyday life.
Then, all of a sudden I am in the Serengeti watching baby lions drink from a river with their mom and I look at my husband and remember how unbelievably amazing life is and how grateful I am that I get to experience those moments and this life with him! These moments make all of the nitty gritty work and chores in our daily lives disappear and I am left with just the two of us.
Nothing helps to refresh your perspective and relationship quite like jetting off to somewhere new to reconnect. I am such a strong believer in this; whether your time together is in an over water villa in Bora Bora, enjoying the sunset over the ocean from your private plunge pool, or you are hiking the remote volcano, Mount Yasur, in Vanuatu. Whatever your dreams are; pulling away from grind and spending that time together and experiencing those moments is a game changer.
One of Kris and I’s favourite things to do together is swim in the ocean and snorkel 🤿

Can you believe this view!? 🏔️
📍La Rosiere
As many of you know, I am usually a beach and jungle worshipper, but this trip to the French Alps has opened my eyes!
There is something so magical about being surrounded by the mountains and experiencing new things, like dining at the village igloo or doing yoga @clubmed with the mountains in the distance.
I was fortunate enough to explore 3 different properties that @clubmed has in the French Alps. They all have such different vibes and unique elements to them!
If you have been thinking of heading to the alps, let me know and we can find the right property for you!

The FRENCH ALPS & CLUB MED 🏔️
Club Med is a very unique brand; they have all inclusives all over the world, including multiple properties in the French Alps!
It has been amazing to learn more about Club Med and what they have to offer (which is a lot!). This is one of the best parts of running my business; to experience destinations, airlines, hotels, tour companies etc. and curate a vetted network of suppliers that I can confidently recommend to clients.
Another big draw for me with Club Med is their dedication to sustainability. This is something that is very important to me and I try to ensure that every trip that is booked with Travel Agent without Borders supports sustainability as much as possible.
Thank you @clubmed @clubmedalpes for inviting me to experience your unique product, I cannot wait to showcase it to clients!

What do you dream about? ✨
When I was younger, I dreamt about working in the legal field for the rest of my life. I went to school, graduated, began working in law firms in Toronto and trying to build a life for myself.
BUT something started to feel off; I didn’t feel the way I was told I would when I continued to check off those milestones we are all told to hit. Honestly, I began to feel trapped, like I was living a life that wasn’t meant for me.
I loved travel, I hadn’t done much of it, but the places I had explored sparked something in my soul that the office just never did.
Fast forward 8+ years and I run my own travel business and can travel the world whenever I want (most times at a discount, sometimes even for free!).
Making the change from the legal field to the travel industry wasn’t that hard of a decision for me, it was actually incredible exciting! I started with Flight Centre in one of their retail shops and had a salary with commissions, benefits and a pension, so things were pretty stable. In 2017, I had the opportunity to leave all of that behind, all of the security and run my own business as a Travel Agent.
The thoughts of a stable income swirled through my mind but in the end, I knew it was the right move for me. And so I handed in my resignation as a full time TA and started my new journey, almost immediately flying to Panama and Colombia to celebrate my new found freedom.
I am telling you all of this because this is possible for you too! I receive messages about people wondering about becoming a TA, but they are unsure if they want to take the leap. I get that, it is scary, really scary as we live in a more unstable world (in my opinion) now then we used to.
BUT if you take an informed leap, if you know what you are getting into, what you need to do, how much work it really is, and you have a clear vision of what you want - then you can do anything!
Is it easy? Heck no! Is it worth it? Absolutely!

Why you NEED to stay in Railay Bay 🌊
When I began searching for the perfect places for Kris and I to explore throughout Thailand, one of the main things I looked for was the best beaches.
We love the ocean, so a swimmable, beautiful beach is a must for us on most of our trips!
Railay Bay West was coming in at the top of the beaches surrounding Krabi, so I booked our stay there.
Railay Bay is a dream; surrounded by towering limestone karsts, this area is cut off from the rest of Krabi and is only accessible by boat. There are no cars on Railay Bay and it is a very laid back beach town vibe, which is exactly what we were looking for!
Our days here were spent swimming in the ocean and wandering around the beach town, sampling all of the delicious food they had to offer.
We also had the privilege of visiting the most luxurious hotel in the area, @rayavadee.krabi
This hotel is unreal. The jungle like setting throughout its 26 acres is home too many species, including monkeys. I got to see a monkey swimming along in one of the many pools of water along the property, which I have never seen before!
Rayavadee also has access to 3 beaches, my favourite being Phra Nang Beach. Railey Bay is beautiful, but has a lot of long-tail boats and daily visitors. Phra Nang Beach is only accessible by walking through an amazing cave trail and does not allow boats access.
They also have the Grotto Restaurant where you can watch the sunset over the ocean, nestled under a limestone cliff.
Aside from the sheer beauty of this hotel, they also have a huge focus in sustainability and protecting the environment around them, which is another reason to love this property!
If you are heading to Krabi, make sure to stay at Rayavadee!
