About Me

Our Luv of Travel - We put U in Luv with Travel
Our Luv of Travel - We put U in Luv with Travel

Hi, I'm Deb, an adventure travel specialist who has been designing unforgettable travel experiences for people over 50 for the last four years. My passion for travel and adventure began when I was young, seeing my Grandmother travel the world on her own.  As I grew older, I realized that I wanted to help others experience the joy and excitement that comes with discovering new cultures, cuisines, and landscapes.

My travel journey has taken me to some unique and breathtaking destinations in the world, from walking the Camino Frances to living in Costa Rica. I've flown over the fjords of Alaska, stood at the middle of the world in Ecuador, and camped under the stars in Wadi Rum. These experiences have taught me that there is no greater thrill than stepping out of your comfort zone and into the unknown.

As an adventure travel specialist, I'm committed to helping my clients create the perfect trip that suits their interests, budget, and travel style. Whether you're looking for a thrilling trek through the Andes or a cultural immersion in Southeast Asia, I'll work with you to create an itinerary that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.

One of the things I love most about my job is the opportunity to connect my clients with local cultures and communities. I believe that travel is not just about ticking off bucket list destinations, but also about building meaningful connections with the people and places we visit. That's why I work closely with local guides and organizations to create authentic, immersive experiences that benefit both travellers and locals.

Finally, sustainability is at the core of everything I do. I believe that adventure travel can be a force for good, promoting responsible tourism practices that protect the planet and support local communities. From reducing our carbon footprint to choosing eco-friendly accommodations, I'm always looking for ways to minimize our impact on the environment and create a more sustainable future for travel.

In short, my goal as an adventure travel specialist is to help people over 50 embark on unforgettable journeys that challenge, inspire, and transform. I'm excited to work with you to create your dream adventure and bring your travel dreams to life.

Trips of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Wendy B - West Kelowna, British Columbia | Traveled to Africa
I’ve booked two different holidays through Deb. The first was a trip to Morocco. I’d mentioned to her it was on my list of places to see. Shortly after she contacted me to let me know of an all-women’s small group G adventure tour, so I booked it & off I went. What a fun, well organized trip. My next trip was back to back G Adventures: S Africa-Zimbabwe Safari and Uganda-Rwanda chimp/gorilla trek! There were also pre & post accommodations required & Deb found wonderful boutique hotels in great locations & within budget! She went over all the details of the trips with me as well as advising of optional tours. She also prompted me to check that I had/got the required travel vaccinations and evisas. The trips were beyond expectations and went off without a hitch!
Deb finds out your likes/dislikes, comfort level, budget & expectations and works within those parameters.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
