Family fun in the snow in Canada

Canada, North America

Great family holidays are made in Banff and Lake Louise. Home to three resorts, collectively known as SkiBig3, with one of the longest ski seasons in North America there is a ski slope for every kind of skiing.

And there are plenty of other snow activities to keep all the kids (big and small!) entertained.

Bundle the kids in a warm sleigh and go dog-sledding through the forest with Banff’s Warner Stables (hot chocolate and marshmallows included.

One of the best value activities is Banff Gondola, while those 8-years-old and over can give snowshoeing a shot.

Ice-skating at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is right on the lake, and scores top points for magical scenery.

And for the older kids, winter night tubing at Mount Norquay always delights!

As an experienced travel consultant with over 9 years in the industry, I bring a wealth of expertise and a genuine passion for exploring the world. My career has been shaped by a commitment to helping others create unforgettable journeys, fueled by my own love for adventure.

In early 2024, I achieved a lifelong dream by traveling to Antarctica—a testament to my adventurous spirit and firsthand knowledge of unique, bucket-list destinations. Whether you're seeking a serene retreat, a cultural immersion, or an epic expedition, my global insights and personalised approach ensure every journey is as inspiring as it is seamless.

Our lives are defined by experience, when we travel we open up an array of new experiences to be had. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to assist others with their own leisure holidays or bucket list adventures.

My love for travel kicked off early, I entered the industry at 19 and have been lucky enough to turn that passion into a career. I’ve explored over 45 countries and experienced travel in just about every way imaginable: solo adventures, OEs, family holidays, cruises, group tours, and everything in between.

Having lived in several countries, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the diversity of travel and how personal each journey can be. I truly believe the best holidays start with thoughtful planning, and I love helping others turn their travel dreams into reality.

I bring a mix of energy, enthusiasm, and people-focused leadership to my role. I’m a bubbly, approachable personality who thrives on connecting with others, but I’m also highly organised and passionate about ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

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 :)
