BackroadsAbout Me
Cycling and Triathlon Travel Specialist
In 2013, I took a leap of faith, dove into the travel industry and began Scratch the Map Travel. My own love to see and experience more, fueled my excitement to help others scratch off their travel map wander list. Built mostly by referral, my little agency ranked as a top performing agency in Canada in 2018 & 2019. (we won't discuss 2020 & 2021- it's still a sore spot)
In 2019, two of my passions collided: triathlon racing/cycling and travel. Upon meeting with the director of an international annual tri race, the idea bloomed to get other athletes to combine their race passion while experience new cultures and new destinations. Whether it's a race or for leisure, 2 wheels are a fantastic way to explore our great globe- and easy to brake for whatever local cuisine you pass by.
Favourite destination for triathlon racing: Nevis
Favourite destination for a small ship & cycle tour: Croatia
Favourite destination for cycling, food & wine tour: Italy
Favourite destination for local food: Thailand, Belize, Greece- really just everywhere!
Biggest bucket list item not yet checked off: Antartica (may leave the bike behind for this one)
