Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season!
Thank you to everyone for their support in this first year of business and to those who entrusted me with their travel adventures in 2024. I appreciate all the support and look forward to helping more folks explore the world in the year ahead. Happy holidays!

Imagine visiting Portugal in the easiest way possible: a small group, train tour with a handful of curated activities and lots of time to explore at your own pace. Sounds dreamy, right?

Portugal - North to South by Train tour hits the mark! Visiting Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve region down south, you'll be whisked around the country by train, maximizing your time in Portugal and seeing the countryside as you go. And by going with the premium option, you'll enjoy 5-star hotels and 1st class train cabins.

I'm thrilled for my clients who'll be taking this trip in April. This group of 6 friends are going to have the best time with the organized activities, including Sintra of course, while maintaining time to explore at a more relaxing pace than a typical bus tour.

Train travel in Italy couldn’t be easier - whether you’re booking individual trips on the fly, or plan on covering a lot of ground by train with a Eurail pass, train travel in Italy is comfortable, efficient and safe. What more could you ask for when going on a dream family vacation?

I just booked 3 Eurail Italy passes for my client and her family so they can easily and flexibly get around Italy, hitting up both major cities like Venice, Milan and Florence, but also visiting some life-long dream destinations related to their family history. That’s the beauty of trains - they go just about everywhere in a lot of European countries!

Interested in a travel-by-train trip? Let’s see if individual tickets or a pass is a better fit for your next trip 🛤️🚆

An affordable ski vacation package… in Europe… through Air Canada Vacations?! This job has been full of learning and surprises… one of which was finding out that Air Canada Vacations offers European ski vacation packages. And to Andorra of all places - this tiny country is so high on my bucket list!

For our third and final installation in the series, if I were dreaming of white snowy slopes this Christmas, this is the package I’d want under my tree:

⏺ Round-trip airfare from Canada to Toulouse, France + inclusive transfers to Canillo, Andorra
⏺ 7 nights at a 4* ski resort in Canillo
⏺ 6 day ski pass at Grandvalira - the largest ski resort in the Pyrenees Mountains!
⏺ Only a 30-minute drive from Andorra la Vella and the Caldea Spa, one of Europe’s favourite spa resorts

🏷️ Comment, email or DM me your Canadian departure gate for pricing!
📆 Departures available throughout March!

I love all feedback - the good, the bad and the ugly! I can't be everywhere all the time (wouldn't that be nice?!) so this is how I improve my services over time. Now I know for next time to prioritize shorter layovers for these clients, I love getting to know each person's travel needs.

It's all part of the process!

I’ve been to dozens of small European cities, but this one is my all-time favourite 🤍 🎄

✨❄️ it’s week 2 of the dream winter trip series: Strasbourg, France! ❄️✨

This one is close to my heart folks - I spent almost 6 months living here as an international student in 2016. While I arrived just after the Christmas holidays, I got to see all the festive lights still on display, and the Christmas trees hadn’t been taken down yet. It was still magical! Like Lucerne, Strasbourg is one of those places that’s meant to be seen in the winter. 🎄 Welcome to week 2 of the Dream Winter Trip series!

Experience the iconic Strasbourg Christmas markets, some of the oldest and most famous in all of Europe. Mulled wine, tarte flambee, handcrafted ornaments and local Muenster cheese are just a few of the classic must-tries while you’re in town. This small city is so easy to get around between the city tram lines and rental bikes, with incredible architecture and views at every turn around the canal.

Book your holiday escape today and make unforgettable memories in this enchanting European gem!

I travel at least 5 times a year and these are my essential travel habits to keep in mind 🌎 Don’t worry, I know these are broad - we’ll get into more specifics next week!!!

💧 Hydration is key - I know it’s a pain to carry a water bottle with your cute purse. Just do it. You’ll feel like crap if you don’t! (Or you just won’t crap and that’s even worse 💩)

🏥 I’m not saying you should listen to your great aunt who says everywhere is dangerous, but being aware of the safety considerations at your destination is important. Sun, bugs and vaccines are all important safety things to consider.

🍃 Try to travel as sustainably as possible, whether it’s where you stay or the bamboo spork you tuck in your bag. It all makes a difference!

🤍 Finally, being respectful to the culture of your destination and keeping an open mind go hand in hand. Nothing will ruin your trip faster than expecting your international destination to feel the same as home - so don’t! (And pay the extra few $ for refundable options!)

Portugal day trips and experiences my clients LOVED... cooking classes, baking classes, Obidos and Vigo! 🌍✨

Experiences: Food is your gateway to understanding a new culture, and nothing beats meeting other travelers over a self-made meal, taught by a passionate, local professional. If you haven't doing cooking classes while travelling, I'm sorry to say you're missing out! In Portugal, my clients learned how to cook Portuguese classics like the famous custard tart dessert, and can now make it at home whenever they're feeling some wanderlust!

Day trips: Day trips and "layovers" are a great way to experience the vibrant and unique culture in smaller towns that might not have the infrastructure or amenities to base yourself there longer-term. Whether you rent a car, or take a little regional train, they're always worth the extra effort.

Have you been to Portugal, and had any can't-miss experiences? Let me know! 👇

106,000 acres of stunning coastal cliffs, rocky inlets, and a diverse range of flora and fauna along Mediterranean coastline... would you have guessed Marseille? This storied, diverse city is one of my favourite destinations ever - I've been there three times! 💙⛰️🌊

With a reputation of a grungy port city, Marseille is often an overlooked French destination but with the Calanques National Park right in the city, stretching from Marseille to Cassis, Marseille is a beautiful destination for hiking, swimming, and enjoying nature, with all the fun, food and history of being in the city right there as well.
