I entered the travel industry later in life after working for the provincial government for many years. During that time I was introduced to travel and exploring many regions of British Columbia and the Yukon leading to the desire to explore other parts of the world.
Backpacking in Greece, Italy and Australia has given me a good understanding of local life, and the friendliness of people. While travelling on organized tours through countries such as Egypt, I have gained an insight into the different cultures and customs of foreign lands. Also in my experience are cruises and all inclusives. My training includes being an Australia Specialist and a Princess cruises commodore.
If you wish to cruise to a warmer exotic destination or backpack downunder I would be pleased to help you plan a successful stressfree vacation or just help in arranging a quick getaway.

Susan has been in the travel industry for 8 years. She is a Certified Adventure Travel Specialist … CATS
Susan says: I truly enjoy planning travel for my clients and delight in matching them with the right travel product .. whether a Safari in Africa or a weekend in Las Vegas, with many different options available; the more clients share with me their likes, dislikes, expectations and budget, the better I am able to advise.
My goal is a happy, repeat client, who recommends me to their friends.
As an enthusiastic traveler and photography fan myself, I also love to share what I have experienced. This has resulted in my escorting two small group photography tours to India – a future wildlife safari to Botswana may be next.
