My Travel Story
After more than 30 years in the industry, and 29 of those in a management driver's seat for our office, I can honestly say that the joy of travel, and the thrill of discovering far off places, with and for our clients, has never dimmed for me. I strive each day to inject this passion and interest in other cultures into the travel plans we create for and with our clients.
Being asked to choose a favourite travel destination or experience is a very tall order for me. It is a bit like being asked to identify a favourite child. Australia and New Zealand are spectacular countries to visit; China and a cruise down the Yangtze river is exotic and fascinating; a Baltic cruise that included a visit to Russia gave some remarkable new perspectives; cultural Europe with so many different cultures linked together like the pieces of a mosaic, is always a special treat; and of course travels to the Caribbean, especially during winter, are a balm to most of our souls. One of my fondest travel memories though, is of a safari trip to South Africa. Seeing the elephants in the wild, as they are meant to be, and sharing this and so many other remarkable experiences with a special group of travel companions, who were my clients, was definitely a highlight in my career.
Whether sailing on the ocean aboard an amazing cruise ship, floating down beautiful rivers past charming villages and vistas while being completely spoiled on a luxury river boat, or travelling overland in any number of different conveyances to absorb all the sights, sounds, smells and unique lifestyles in foreign countries, travel is the single-most rewarding experience that any of us can have. I firmly believe it is unique in opening our minds and our hearts to others, and making strangers into friends. It is a gift we can give ourselves unlike any other. It makes us grow as individuals, gives us memories to cherish, and allows us to see our amazing world like no book or film ever can.
I hope you will let my colleagues and I infect you with our joy of travel for destinations both near and far.
