“Escaping reality on a wilderness adventure where the only way to access your lodge is by seaplane is a great way to switch off. The thrill of grizzly bear and whale watching leaves you speechless”

Bear watching & luxury glamping in British Columbia
British Columbia
Rooted so deeply in nature you’ll need a boat or a seaplane to reach it, Clayoquot Wilderness Resort offers spectacular glamping in beautiful British Columbia.
Nestled between mountain and river, many of the resort’s safari-style tents nudge the waterfront, furnished with antiques and all the glamour of the city, minus the urban chatter. Do whatever you want at whatever pace. Whether that’s fishing excursions and demanding hikes, or bear watching and white-water rafting amidst pristine views and the sounds of wildlife.
Come nightfall, venture to the dining lodge for meals doused in gastronomic flare, before jumping into the Jacuzzi with a night cap.

on your team, you’re in for a trip that’s as unique as you are!

My love of languages and exploring the world has naturally evolved into
a career in travel. I enjoy discovering what motivates your travels and
tailoring your trip to suit your own style and interests.
I have travelled extensively across Europe and lived abroad both in the UK and
Paraguay. Recent travel highlights include cruising Hawaii’s Islands and
experiencing the best of Washington DC.
My special interest is in cruising, from the world’s largest floating resorts
to casually cruising Europe’s rivers or the more adventurous Expedition ships
to the Antarctic. There is a cruise possibility for every personality and
preference!
I look forward to getting to know you and helping you to get the most out of
your next adventure.

Hi all - please note that I am on maternity leave until September 2026 :)
Customer service has always been drilled into me. After begging my way
into a cafe job at 14, I then spent 12 years working in the hospitality
industry supervising restaurants and managing specialty cafes which also
founded my love for all different types of foods.
After spending 3 years in Melbourne, 6 months in South East Asia and a few
years in the UK I finally made the switch to the travel industry where I have
been able to share my love for travel and customer service ever since.
I made it through the dark years of COVID in the industry which has led me to
know to dig that little bit deeper into my clients' travel plans to create that
perfect trip, and ensure we really have the best option for you in terms of
comfort, reliability, and service. As we just don't know what is round the
corner, do we!
I've travelled extensively across Southeast Asia, UK and Europe, spent a lot of
time exploring properties in Fiji (and relaxing by the beach), road tripped in
California and in 2024 I visited South Africa in Feb, Japan, South Korea and
Taipei! I've got many more places on my bucket list to visit, but if I haven't
been, I've got a superb team of people behind me who have and we'll work out
the best trip for you! My ultimate passion when I travel is trying local foods,
and finding the best possible places to have that authentic experience that we
wouldn't be able to have at home. So if that resonates with you, I'd love to
hear from you and let's put together your foodie adventure, together :)
