Travelling since my childhood, included visiting family, friends, colleagues. My own travel adventures including intensive language learning. Some travel was because of the passion in the cultural, dance, food or to photography. With 151 countries and counting…

My work travel experience as a corporate travel director allowed me to experiences extraordinary luxury destinations and hotels. My role as Tour Manager/ Tour Director   leading   groups in Canada and around the world was another type of travel. Organising my own specialised trips for select group of my followers to destinations to share my knowledge is one of the most enjoyable aspects of my travel life. Organizing international world conference in numerous countries allowed me to live like a local.

Volunteering with various international organization my international speaking engagements as well as the training and workshops allowed me further incredible travel opportunities.

As an experienced solo woman traveller from region to region was an exciting adventure that some would not dare to endeavour.  I thrived on this magnificent experiences as it permitted me to create lifelong friendships around the world
