As an independent travel consultant with over 10 years of travel and cruise experience, I work from my home office north of Toronto, Ontario. Able to offer personal and confidential travel consulting services to my clients, I meet with them whenever and wherever it is convenient. For clients farther afield I work virtually via phone, email and internet. Focusing on finding the best fit for their travel requirements I work hard to make sure they have a perfect vacation, the trip they always dreamed of taking.
I graduated from Seneca College’s Tourism Industry Administration program. A Certified Travel Counsellor with the Canadian Institute of Travel Counsellors, CITC, I am also accredited as a Master Cruise Counsellor with Cruise Lines International Association, CLIA. To find out why this is important to you, watch this short video from CLIA.
My love of travel has taken me on nine cruises (so far), including two Trans-Atlantic crossings. One recent cruise was in August 2010 aboard Oceania’s Insignia in the Mediterranean visiting Turkey, Egypt & Greece. I have also sailed aboard WindStar, Princess, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Holland America and Norwegian Cruise Lines. My extensive travels have taken me to China, Japan, Europe, the south of England, Egypt and the Caribbean, as well as the United States (including Hawaii), and most of Canada. There are always travel plans in the works. Where to next? Any suggestions…….?
Although cruising is my personal preference…”You Haven’t Lived Till You’ve Cruised”… I am able to offer the advantages of a full service travel agency and the years of travel experience that come with it. Vacation Planning is my forte, putting all the pieces together so that everything works smoothly. If you are interested in a beach vacation, I am also a Certified Sandals and Beaches Specialist.
Travel Professionals International, as my host agency, handles all behind the scenes agency operations so that independent agents like me can concentrate on working with clients. TPI with over 700 agents works with a list of preferred suppliers to help make me more efficient and allows me to offer clients more products at competitive rates.
Please feel free to take a few minutes to check out my You Tube video. Taken from the deck of the largest cruise ship in the world, The Allure of the Seas with Royal Caribbean was our conference location in May 2011. Enjoy and feel free to share with anyone who may be looking for a travel counsellor specializing in cruising and vacation planning.

TPI, Canada’s largest growing independent travel agency, is in business to support me as an independent agent and does not sell directly to consumers.
