Whether you have an upcoming trip or your daydreaming of one, you are in the right place.

Growing up without a car in a small Canadian town, I took my first flight at 21 and discovered a passion for exploring. In my twenties, I experienced everything from backpacking hostels to five-star hotels.

In 2017, I welcomed our third baby, and we now live on Vancouver Island, where we live, love, and learn.

I'm obsessed with travel planning, and becoming a travel agent was a natural choice for me. I spend hours researching hidden gems, reading travel blogs, talking to full-time female travelers, planning trips, and daydreaming about future adventures.
