After spending 2 years living in Sydney, Australia and travelling throughout this great country, as well as New Zealand, the South Pacific and the Orient, I returned to my home town of Brandon where I pursued a career in the travel industry.   I rarely travel to a destination more than once, choosing instead to explore new destinations and enjoy new adventures and experiences that I can pass on to my customers. 

I have vacationed in Fiji, once while I lived in Australia and again several years ago with my family.  It is my favourite beach vacation destination with palm fringed white sand beaches and every time I go I fall in love with it all over again. I have stayed on both Castaway Island and most recently on Plantation Island.  My South Pacific travels have also taken me to the Cook Islands with visits to Raratonga and Aitutaki. Closer to home I have visited three different resort areas in Cuba; Varadero, Cayo Santa Maria and Cayo Coco, as well as Barbados, Jamaica,  the Cayman Islands, the incredible Turks & Caicos as well as most of the Mexican resort areas.


My trip of a lifetime? Sailing aboard the msWindstar, a cruise ship and sailing vessel with a unique casual yet elegant atmosphere.  I still remember the thrill of sailing down the Grand Canal in Venice as the sails unfurled and we headed out to sea.
  

I can't wait to travel to other great destinations of the world.  I love to experience the world and my passion for travel goes into every trip that I plan!

NEXT TRAVEL DESTINATION:   Greece in May, 2011
I love to explore the world and my travels over the last few years have taken me on Safari in Africa and to China where I climbed the Great Wall.   Last year I experienced the history & culture of Egypt and this year I headed off to Costa Rica on a trip with Gap Adventure Tours.

Last March I vacationed in Jamaica and loved the white sandy beaches found on 7 mile beach in Negril, while this year I enjoyed Ocho Rios while escorting the Starjet.  I have previously visit three different areas in the Dominican Republic on separate vacations, as well as the Mayan Riviera, Huatulco, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Manzanillo and Los Cabos in Mexico.


I have always had a passion for cruising and in my early days in the travel industry was as a group coordinator and escort for cruise vacations.  My most recent cruise was 
14 wonderful days sailing the south of Europe aboard the Azamara Quest, a wonderful upscale cruise with concierge service.  A highlight of this cruise was our 2 nights in Cannes during the Cannes Film Festival! 


Come and visit me so I can share some of these great destinations that you can experience yourself!
