It was so great to see how G Adventures "shared the love" with so many local and independent vendors.

Did you know they make rope from coconut husks?

I absolutely fell in love with the city of Seattle when I was there last month! Visit Seattle were fantastic hosts and I cannot thank them enough for a most wonderful time. Air Canada did a beautiful job of getting me to and from with friendly service and very comfortable seats. The Westin Seattle was an excellent place to stay - walkable to everything, friendly staff and a room with an amazing view!

I am super excited that Sunny Wishart from A la Carte Financial will be joining Antonietta Botticelli and I on our Kilimanjaro adventure! Her tips on how to make saving for this once in a lifetime experience will be invaluable. Thank you Sunny for saying "Yes!" to this!

We all know this quote and we all know what it means, but have you tried it? If you have, then you know it's true. When it comes to my business, which I love just so much and love what I do, I know that getting uncomfortable has always launched it further than I ever imagined. So, every time I'm in....

Are you just as excited as I am for Disney's newest movie "Turning Red" to be released on March 11th? Not only do I love Disney films, but this one is set in Toronto!

To celebrate it's release, Disney Parks in the US will be featuring a sneak-peek preview of the film for guests, and will have an array of Canadian and movie inspired foodie delights. Check out this album for some of them.

Want to head to Disney yourself? Reach out and I will help you plan a magical trip!

Travel with Passion

My name is Colette Larsen and my passion for travel began in 1999 when I boarded my first ever flight for London, England. After a full week of exploring this beautiful city - and a quick weekend jaunt over to Brussels - I quickly learned that travel was the life for me.

25 countries later, my passion has not faltered. Some of my tour highlights have been sea kayaking in BC, staying at a research station in the heart of the Amazon, camping on the Serengeti, hiking the Franz Josef Glacier, dune buggy adventures in Dubai, climbing a volcano in Costa Rica, viewing a Shuttle Launch at Cape Canaveral, relaxing on the beaches of Zanzibar and cruising the Adriatic Sea.

My travels have also taken me across Canada many times. I have driven across the country and seen the beauty that each corner and each group of Canadians has to offer. I have travelled the East Coast a number of times and love to share some of the unique experiences I have had there. BC is also a spot I have visited a number of times, with lots of adventure travel to be had on the mainland and lots of exploring done on Vancouver Island.

I lived for a year in beautiful Australia and have a real passion for this country. I have been almost everywhere....driven the circumference of the continent and down the Red Centre twice! Side trips to Fraser Island, Kangaroo Island and the Hutt River Province were all unique experiences in their own way!
