Just Pack - Custom Travel Consulting

Just Pack - Custom Travel Consulting Just Pack offers complete, personal travel-planning services for individuals, couples, groups, and businesses for weekend getaways to month-long adventures.

Travel is my passion, travel is my education, travel is my life's journey... and so it became inevitable that I'd pursue a career which allows me to share this passion with others. Just Pack Custom Travel is travel built for you. Your way. With my passion and dedication behind it. Who is Just Pack for? Whether it's a weekend getaway or a month-long adventure, Just Pack will guarantee you get the m

ost out of your time off at whatever your budget. My clients are travelers who want attentive, professional and personal service and want to know that a vacation was customized for them and them alone. My clients are travelers who want to explore a new destination but don't know where to start and are afraid it will cost an obscene amount of money. My clients are that bride and groom who want to voyage someplace special on their honeymoon but don't have the resources or the time to plan it how they envision. My clients may not even know what they want, but together we discover it.

Heels on the Ground because it sounds sexier than Boots on the Ground (lol)
When you see this stamp in your itinerary, know that Just Pack has lived through this experience for you.
We’ve dined at the restaurant, enjoyed the activity, stayed at the property, walked the streets (in our heels).
We’ve met the people you’ll be meeting and trust them with your precious vacation moments.
We’ve come back raving about an experience and want to share it with you!

Stop spending hours dreaming of the Bucket List Vacation. What does “Bucket List” even mean? The trips one should take before they ‘kick the bucket’. Sounds so ominous!

Let’s live all your fantasies now! Hit me with your best shot and I’d love to put it together for you!

Gorilla Trek in Uganda? Swim with Whale Sharks? Train with a Samurai Master in Japan? Cruise the Amazon River? Dive on the Great Barrier Reef? Trek an Ice Glacier?
Where do you want to watch the sunrise? Sunset? Where do you want to take that sip of wine? What festivals can I have you dancing at?

What do YOU want? Let’s go!

Every January Marco and I kick off the year with a visit to Grail Springs Wellness Retreat in Bancroft, Ontario. We started the weekend with a Cacao Ceremony, then continued with energy and spa treatments, plant-based meals, afternoon elixir shots, morning meditation and yoga, great talks and workshops in the Great Room and snowshoe hikes to the Crystal Crop. I almost didn’t want to share this place because it’s become my January ritual but I love my peeps……..Have fun and rest well.

Hey honeymooners!

You have too many details to think about and too little time. Take the not-so fun-part of planning out of the equation and focus on planning your epic wedding. Slow it all down so you can really appreciate, enjoy, and embrace this beautiful time. You have a professional for so many other pieces of your wedding, don’t leave your honeymoon to chance. It’s one of the most important (exciting) aspects! 🌍✈️✨

We create custom travel itineraries based on your honeymoon vision and if you don’t have a vision - no problem! We work on building it together.

We split our time between Disney Magic Kingdom, Universal Studios and Universal Islands of Adventure and here are a few things that worked well for us:

1. 🏨 We stayed at a Disney property for a few nights and then switched to a Universal property for another 2 nights. You then gain exclusive early access to the park and roll out of bed and are there!
2. 🎟️ Reserve Character Dinners early for prime slots!
3. 📲 Download park apps for real-time updates & maps (this details ride wait times) and though it sounds like overkill, play around with the apps ahead of time.
4. 🎢 FastPasses are your best friend – (Lighting Lane, Disney Genie, Universal Express)
5. 🧘🏻‍♀️Slow it down. There is a desire to visit every Disney and Universal Park. You WILL be back. Slow it down and focus on 2 or 3 parks for this round allowing time for a pool day in between parks. Moderation and pace add to your experience.
6. 🚆 To ride the Hogwarts Express, you need access to both Universal Parks in the same day: Park-to-Park ticket (genius sales pitch Universal). There are incredible Harry Potter attractions in each park so true fans will need to visit both.
7. 👶 Rider Swap: Great for families with little ones!
8. 🪄If your child is “selected” at Ollivander’s for the wand ceremony. Awesome! Know that it also come with a gold phoenix feather price tag as you are escorted to the cashier -lol
9. 🍻Butterbeer is the stuff of dreams.
10. ✈️If this sounds like too much, hire a Travel Consultant (cough cough the Just Pack Team) to put this together for you. Hakuna Matata! We got you.

Take Your Kids to Work Day

I stay where my clients stay. I travel where my clients travel. One of my favourite parts of my business is reviewing properties and having experiences before my clients do. This is a ‘Boots on the Ground’ Company! Allegra and I flew down to Barbados and were hosted by Sandy Lane . I created an employment contract for her and paid her $5/ hr. Her task: review the property from a kid’s perspective: what items do they serve on the menu (creative offerings beyond the chicken fingers and fries), amenities at the kids club, are kids an afterthought or is there unique kids programming (island adventures, sailing). Allegra gave Sandy Lane her stamp of approval and is all smiles to revisit!
The savvy kid asked for the payment in USD! lol

Destination Spotlight: Todos Santos
Our S*x, Drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll annual trip had a little less drugs and rock ‘n’ roll this year (lol). We visited Todos Santos which is a magical town (seriously, it has been designated a Pueblos Mágicos), ate an insulting number of tacos, spotted whales and seals, enjoyed sunset cocktails at The Green Room, and shopped the artsy boutiques. Fun fact: we ate crickets! Eating crickets alongside mezcal enhances the smoky flavour. You eat orange slices in between tastings to cleanse the palate. Check out Todos Santos. It is less than a 1-hour drive from Los Cabos Airport in Baja California Sur!

RETREAT
Has a photo ever caused you to feel visceral joy? I look at these (I wish I could post more than 10) and they bring me right back -goose bumps, all over body tingling right back to Nikki Magic’s retreat in Costa Rica. I can instantly hear the music and the howler monkeys, smell the essential oils and fall into that place of pure peace. I plan travel for a living, and I have an overwhelming respect for Nikki and her beautifully curated retreat in Nosara. Excellently done! My friends and I played, journaled, rested, cried, practiced yoga, watched sunsets, had cocoa body scrubs on the beach. We grew, we felt, we let go. Nosara may have cracked us open, But Nikki, you held us all.
Please do check out Nikki’s 108 day program starting in January. She’s Magic!

My Malaysia Travel Diaries: The Last Destination -Gaya Island

Beach, new friends and rosé all day…..a great way to complete our Malaysia Travels

My Malaysia Travel Diaries: Destination 4 - Kinabatangan River and Borneo Rainforest

There is so much to unpack here!

-Safari for the Borneo Big 5: Orangutan, Pygmy Elephant, Proboscis Monkey (what a nose!), Rhinoceros Hornbill and Crocodile.

-We wore leech socks in the rainforest, and it became casual for us to flick leeches off one another. Only Marco suffered a bite (insert screaming from ‘monkey in room’ video-lol)

-Before leaving home, Allegra’s teacher asked her to go on the internet and research an endangered animal for her school project. She did this without a computer, surveying orangutans in the wild and writing about their habitat in her travel journal. She returned with video footage for her classmates.

-We spent over 2 hours each time on River Safari in silence and looking for the Big 5. Naia is 5 years old. Imagine this discipline.

-Stayed at the Borneo Rainforest Lodge in the Danum Valley -excellent!

My Malaysia Travel Diaries: Destination 3 -Langkawi

So many favourites: Staying at the gorgeous Datai Langkawi where the included breakfast offers foie gras, lobster and truffles, rainforest villa with private pool, kayaking through mangroves and watching eagles feed (I can feel it happening….I’m becoming a Birder), feeling so BAD ASS on a 4 hour jet ski tour where you ski in and out of caves, limestone karsts, and stop for beaches and snorkeling, spa treatments where you watch hornbills and monkeys from your whirlpool bath.
I do love me a good resort.

My Malaysia Travel Diaries: Destination 1- Kuala Lumpur

When twin brothers can meet across the world for a few days, one coming home from Thailand and the other starting a Malaysia trip -that’s a beautiful thing.
When cousins can visit temples together and talk about how “durian is the most stinky fruit” -that’s a beautiful thing.
When sister-in-laws really like each other (lol) and you can take us just about anywhere together -that’s a beautiful thing.

Horsin’ Around – too cliché a title for this one?

My crew had such laughs and fun swimming with horses!

P.S: Usually, I’m the one vetting the experience before my clients but a big thanks to the Crimi family for trusting me on this one before I did it myself.
Even with the horse p**p, I would book you again and again. Thanks for always taking the adventurous ride.

Entrepreneurship isn’t for the faint of heart. At first, you’re the fool who is willing to work 80 hours a week to avoid working 40 -lol

My challenges aren’t different than other female entrepreneurs: you don’t take a maternity leave, you hustle through, breastfeeding while typing emails and WOW! that poor client whose call I answered in gibberish high on oxy after my c-section! LOL

But then the years of work, determination and dedication pay off, what you sow does grow, and client referrals and gratitude are testament that you are doing exactly what you were meant to do. You live the best expression of yourself.

To the new entrepreneurs out there, get ready for a wild ride but it’s a wonderful journey. Don’t forget to have fun and keep checking in on what feels authentic and true to you. Its only from that place that you can best CREATE.

I send my clients away with a journal and journal prompts.

Journaling is a great way to pass time while in transit, a gentle yet forced way to make you slow down and soak it all in, a most blissful way to sit on the balcony at one of your hotels and really document your feelings during that sunrise or sunset. I came across the expression “Wakeful Travel” and I love it. Yes, that’s what I want for my clients. Not to feel just happiness and excitement when they travel, but to feel EVERYTHING. Not only the pulse of a place but YOUR PULSE.

Some journal prompts and themes:

Why do you travel? What motivates you to travel?
What is the biggest lesson travel has taught you?

How did your worst travel experience shape you? How did your best travel experience shape you?

What is your favorite childhood travel memory?

What feeling(s) did this trip bring up for me to acknowledge?

Am I using travel as a distraction or to amplify my life?
