Why I love to Travel

Because of my parents and grandparent's sense of adventure, I fell in love with travelling at a young age. When I went to Europe as a teenager for the first time, I officially caught the travel bug.  Since then, I’ve travelled solo in my twenties, cruised with friends and family, and travelled with my husband to countries in the South Pacific to above the Arctic Circle to the Middle East.  

My favourite trip: French Polynesia - exploring Bora Bora, Moorea, and Rangiroa.  Gorgeous water and scenery, beautiful people, delicious food and the perfect temperature.  What's not to love?

Perfect cruise
Reviewed By Cobra - BC | Traveled to Spain | Europe
Andrea planned the most magical Mediterranean getaway for us—an unforgettable Andalusian cruise paired with extra days in both Barcelona and Lisbon that brought the entire experience to life. Before the cruise, Andrea arranged an incredible stay in Barcelona where we explored Gaudí’s architectural wonders, wandered through the Gothic Quarter, and soaked in the city’s vibrant energy. Everything was flawlessly coordinated—charming accommodations in a perfect location, skip-the-line tickets to key attractions, and thoughtful local recommendations that helped us make the most of our time. Then came the cruise—sailing along the Andalusian coast was like stepping into a postcard. Each port stop was full of character, history, and local flavor. Andrea selected a cruise that felt luxurious yet intimate, with impeccable service, delicious cuisine, and a relaxed pace that let us truly enjoy each destination without feeling rushed. After the cruise, we wrapped up the trip in Lisbon, and once a

Amazing trip
Reviewed By Brian - BC | Traveled to Jordan | Middle East
Our trip to Jordan was nothing short of extraordinary, and it was all thanks to Andrea’s expert planning! From exploring the ancient city of Petra to sleeping under the stars in Wadi Rum and relaxing by the Red Sea, every moment was filled with awe and adventure. Andrea crafted an itinerary that captured the spirit and history of Jordan while making sure we traveled in comfort and style. We hiked through the breathtaking canyons of Petra, rode camels through the majestic red sands of Wadi Rum, and snorkeled in the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea. Each destination was seamlessly connected, with knowledgeable local guides, beautiful accommodations, and smooth logistics that made the journey effortless. She chose incredible boutique stays that gave us an authentic feel for the culture, yet still provided all the comforts we could ask for. Andrea also made sure we had enough time to soak in each location—not just to see the sights, but to truly experience them. This wasn’t just a tr

Epic trip
Reviewed By Jordan - BC | Traveled to Fiji | South Pacific
Andrea once again outdid herself by planning an absolutely epic dive trip to Fiji! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly orchestrated—multiple islands, seamless transfers, and some of the best diving we’ve ever experienced. Each day was filled with incredible underwater adventures at world-class dive sites, often with multiple dives that left us in awe of Fiji’s vibrant marine life and pristine reefs. She arranged stays at charming boutique resorts that felt both luxurious and intimate, each offering its own unique setting and warm hospitality. Andrea’s attention to detail made the entire journey feel effortless—from dive schedules and boat charters to resort comforts and local excursions, she had it all covered. What made the experience even more special was how personalized it felt. Andrea truly understands what makes a great dive trip and tailored everything to match our pace and preferences. Her passion for travel and deep dive knowledge shined through at every tur

Icon of the Seas Review (It wasn't what I expect!)

In full transparency, I did not expect to enjoy the ship, but I talked my husband into it for research purposes for work. For my personal travel, I have previously prioritized ports and tend to pick smaller ships. There were so many things that the Icon of the Seas does exceptionally well that I am planning another cruise. For a cruise to...
