Discover a world of wonders
Canada is so much more than maple syrup and mountains, it’s a vibrant tapestry of captivating cities, jaw-dropping scenery, and cultures as diverse as the landscapes themselves. From the French charm of Québec to the Celtic warmth of Nova Scotia, every province feels like stepping into a whole new world.
Imagine yourself exploring glittering glaciers, strolling through lush coastal forests, or soaking up the buzz of cosmopolitan Vancouver and Toronto. Picture spotting majestic wildlife, enjoying warm hospitality in charming towns, or breathing in crisp alpine air beside turquoise lakes.

Best time to go.
Summer (June to August) offers the warmest weather and is ideal for exploring the national parks, lakes, and cities. September to October is perfect for witnessing the stunning autumn colours, especially in regions like Ontario and Quebec.
Time difference.
Canada spans multiple time zones. For example, Vancouver (Pacific Time) is 19 hours behind New Zealand Standard Time (NZST, GMT +12), while Toronto (Eastern Time) is 16 hours behind. This significant time difference will require some adjustment, especially after a long flight.

Alaska with Windstar Cruises
What sets Windstar apart in Alaska is where they take you—and how they do it. With a smaller ship and a different approach, you’ll sail to hidden gems like Wrangell, Icy Strait and Sitka—places the larger cruise lines often miss. You’ll still visit favourites like Juneau and Ketchikan, but with fewer people and more time to explore. Operating from May to August 2026, these are intimate, in-depth journeys through one of the world’s last true frontiers.

You’ll be sailing on Windstar’s newest ship, Star Seeker—launching in 2026 and designed with discovery in mind. Its small size means it can access tucked-away ports and harbours the bigger ships can’t, while still offering a high standard of onboard comfort. Expect spacious suites, open-air lounges and a relaxed onboard atmosphere tailored to curious, independent travellers.

For me, travel has been more than just a series of destinations, it has been a transformative journey that has sculpted my character and contributed to my personal evolution. My travel experiences are not merely about ticking off destinations from a bucket list, but about immersing myself in the heart and soul of each place I’ve visited visit.
My early travels began with frequent road trips around my home country of Canada and the USA, and I am fortunate enough to have now been to six of the seven continents. Exploring the world through various modes of transportation has been a thrilling adventure for me, from cruise ships, to trains, to rickshaws, and I have an appreciation for the experiences that local transport offers. I am comfortable with sleeping in a hammock in the rainforest, an overwater bungalow in the South Pacific, and everything in between.
My experiences have taught me to adapt to different situations and understand diverse perspectives, and my background in customer service and sales has equipped me with valuable skills that I believe make me well-suited for various client needs. I believe this makes me well-suited to meet your needs as a client. Whether it's finding solutions to problems or anticipating your preferences, I strive to provide an exceptional service tailored to you. My aim is to not just meet but exceed your expectations by drawing on my varied background.
My enthusiasm for travel is infectious, and it is my goal to inspire others to embark on their own adventures and discover the beauty of our planet.
