Agent Specializing in Adventures on Land and Sea
With 20 years experience as a travel agent, I am dedicated to curating unique, once-in-a-lifetime trips for my clients. Specializing in adventure and bucket list travel, I have explored 70 countries, including the elusive Antarctica. I am passionate about immersing myself in new cultures, discovering vibrant cities, rural landscapes, national parks, and attending local festivals.
I love small-group tours, which can prioritize local community engagement and responsible travel, aligning with my travel philosophy. Whether it's a bucket list adventure or an off-the-beaten-path journey, My favourite partners on land are G Adventures and Intrepid, and on the sea Hurtigruten Expeditions.
As an Airfare Expert, I can create complex multi-city and round-the-world itineraries, navigating airline fare rules, and recommending the best options based on your personal preferences.
I look forward to discovering what your travel dreams entail and making them a reality!

So many bucket list tris with Vicky!
Reviewed By HLD - Calgary, AB | Traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands ~ Caribbean
Vicky always goes above and beyond to ensure our holidays are perfect. She was able to cancel on short notice due to illness and spent hours working with the trip provider to re-protect us at a later date. One of our best vacations ever.
Vicky Young responded
"Thank you HLD. I appreciate you and your family trusting me with your holidays over the years. I was especially invested in this one when things didn't go as planned. I knew how much you were all looking forward to spending time in the islands. I'm so glad that we were able to get the re-protection done and that you all had the BEST VACATION EVER!!!"

Arranging flights and travel has become less stressful since I e had Vicky book our flights! Her tremendous experience, especially in airport time for connecting flights has been invaluable. Saved us from missing several delayed flights! She is gracious, personable and kind! I wouldn’t want to make any trips in the future without her help!
