I'm relatively new to the world of active and adventure travel, but have a passion and enthusiasm for it that can't be beat since I became a travel agent 3 years ago. In August 2018 I was voted Favourite Travel Agent through the Barrie Advance Readers' Choice Awards. I am so thankful to my clients for voting for me.
On my recent trip to Peru and hiking the Inca Trail, I've learned that travel can mean getting off the beaten path and exploring a country's culture while also having physical elements to test ones strength and grit. As you reach the top of Dead Woman's Pass on day 2 of the trail, you're hot, it's hard to breathe because of the altitude but your guide and the people in your group are cheering you on as you reach the top. And you are rewarded with the most amazing views!
One of the best mantras from that hike was "enjoy the journey, just as much as the destination." I love to facilitate that for others. Whether it's hiking on a bucket list trail, cycling through your favourite destination, golfing on a course you've always wanted to, or maybe just taking in the culture and nature of a destination, I love taking the stress out of planning the ultimate vacation and experience for my clients.

New Zealand Things to Do

Experience Maori culture—meet the local people and enjoy a hangi feast cooked in earth ovens. Maori make up 14% of the population and their history, language and traditions are central to New Zealand’s identity.
Explore the Franz Josef Glacier on a guided walk to fit any skill level. Hike to a choice of lookout points for a bigger view of this awesome river of ice.

Bask in a healing geothermal hot tub, or see more of the activity in Rotorua with geysers, hot springs, boiling mud pools and hissing craters.
Paddle your way through Maori rock carvings on a kayak through Lake Taupo or test your skills on the fresh water of the Whanganui River with a few rapids.
See one of Kaikoura’s resident whales through a guided boat tour. In fact, Kaikoura, on the east coast of the South Island, is one of the only places in the world where you can easily see sperm whales.
