About Me

My Favourite Destination
My Favourite Destination

With over 20 years of experience in the travel industry, I am deeply passionate about crafting unforgettable vacation experiences. Having traveled extensively across North America, Europe, the Caribbean, and parts of South America and Asia, I am dedicated to sharing my knowledge and expertise to help you create the perfect getaway.

Originally from Windsor, Nova Scotia, I moved to Alberta in 1986, where I was raised before returning to Nova Scotia after a five-year stopover in Toronto. In 2022, I had the privilege of taking over Global Getaways, following my mother’s retirement from operating the agency. While I now lead the business, she remains an integral part of our team and may even accompany us on some of our escorted tours!

Travel has always been my passion, and I have a particular love for European history and culture. However, my curiosity drives me to explore every corner of the world, eager to experience the rich histories and unique cultures of new destinations. I understand the value of personalized service and stay up to date on the latest trends and offerings in the industry to ensure you receive expert guidance at every stage of your travel planning.

As a travel professional, I believe that a vacation is just as important as any major life decision, whether it’s buying a home or investing your hard-earned savings. That’s why I’m committed to providing you with tailored advice, personalized recommendations, and alternative options to suit your needs, preferences, and budget.

Let me take the stress out of planning your next adventure, whether it’s a weekend retreat, a relaxing beach holiday, or the trip of a lifetime. I look forward to helping you discover the world and maybe even joining you on one of my own unforgettable journeys.

5-Star Review

"Chris at Global Getaways helped facilitate a wonderful winter getaway for me and two of my best girlfriends. Our all-inclusive experience in Mexico was problem-free from start to finish. Chris was professional, thorough, responsive and got us the best value for our budget. I speak for all three of us when I say that we would not hesitate to book our next trip through Chris at Global Getaways. Thank you for all of your help, we truly had the best time!"

Quick and Informative
Reviewed By Lamberts - St. John's Newfoundland | Traveled to Montego Bay | Jamaica | Caribbean
We reached out to Chris inquiring about a tropical, relaxing getaway within 2 months; we didn't want a big busy resort, we wanted small, peaceful and relaxing. Not only did he present us with numerous excellent options, he was great to communicate with when we had questions about itinerary alterations, resort specifics, and overall travel. Definitely recommend.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Reviewed By Twinning!! - Terrace, BC, Canada | Traveled to Nova Scotia | Canada
Chris was amazing through the whole booking process, very patient and not pushy for us to finalize anything. He was great at finding a variety of options, and communicating through the process. It was a stress reliever knowing we were taken care of as we had Chris on our side if anything happened while on our trip.

The beach

Group Trip to Sandos Caracol Eco Resort

Escorting a group trip is always a special experience, but bringing a group of 12 travelers to Sandos Caracol Nature Resort & Water Park in Mexico’s Riviera Maya was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the resort felt like its own little world — lush jungle paths, wildlife around every corner, and the relaxed Caribbean energy that m...

Secrets Wild Orchid, Jamaica – My 3-Night Stay

Let’s start with the arrival: The greeting was lovely - staff welcomed us “home” with smiles and offered drinks right away, which instantly set a relaxed tone. That said, check-in was a bit chaotic. There’s no clear line or queue system, so people just walk up to available desks—whether others are waiting or not. A little structure here would go...
