I was born in Toronto and raised in The West Indies, I have been blessed with the opportunity to grow up around many different cultures & to travel to many different places. My travel-bug started as a child, when I first travelled as an unaccompanied minor to a summer camp abroad. The thrill of seeing new places, learning the culture, history & experiencing brand-new surroundings is second to none. Having now travelled to 5 continents, lived in 5 different countries, and travelled to almost 30, I look forward to checking more off of my list! The love & thrill for travel is what I strive to make possible for my clients - our Globetrotters - every day. Whether it is a small family trip or a honeymoon getaway, I'm happy to help turn any travel dream into a reality!
