About Me

I fell in love with travel later in life — my first trip abroad was in 2014, and since then, I’ve traveled multiple times a year across the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Europe. Sunny destinations quickly became my happy place, and I now have a growing list of places to explore and check off my adventure list.

Using my travel experiences to help others create their dream vacations is my passion, and turning that passion into a career felt like the perfect fit. I realized my love for travel could perfectly match my desire to help others make their travel dreams come true — and so I found my forever place in the travel industry.

My travels throughout Mexico with my family have brought unforgettable memories—from the West Coast to the East Coast of Mexico and everywhere in between. There’s nothing quite like relaxing on a white sandy beach at an all-inclusive resort. I love discovering new places, meeting new people, and experiencing new cultures.

In recent years, I’ve added exciting new adventures to my list: horseback riding and tide pooling along the stunning Oregon Coast, exploring Disney World and Universal Studios, and discovering the beauty of the Azores. I’ve visited iconic European cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice, as well as Greece and Croatia. I’ve experienced the buzz of Las Vegas and even eloped in a helicopter! These moments continue to fuel my passion for travel and inspire me to help others find their perfect getaway.

I’ve had the chance to enjoy so many amazing adventures—surfing, snorkeling, swimming with sea turtles, parasailing, jet skiing, ziplining, ATV rides, cave diving, sub scuba diving, cruising on private yachts to hidden gems, ballooning over Tuscany, and even sailing with pirates! These are experiences everyone should try! Learning to surf is still one of my most unforgettable moments.

While guided tours to popular spots are fun, I’ve found the most memorable experiences come from private tours or exploring off the beaten path on my own. There’s something truly magical about diving into new cultures, tasting local foods, and connecting with people.

Travel is a shared passion, and being part of the planning process is both an honor and a privilege. Your time is precious, and your vacation should be as effortless and enjoyable as possible. My goal is to handle the details so you can focus on making unforgettable memories with your loved ones.

Whether you’re dreaming of a European river cruise, planning a destination wedding or honeymoon, or seeking magical moments at Disney World, I’m here to bring your travel dreams to life.

We had such an amazing time
Reviewed By BarbOliver - Chilliwack | Traveled to Puerto Vallarta | Jalisco | Mexico
From the first hello, Tanya has been great to work with. She was able to get us a great deal for our trip, and was very easy to get hold of, and definitely knew her stuff. We will absolutely book through Tanya again. We stayed at the Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta, and she got us a deal to upgrade to Altitude which included having the swim up pool. It was perfect, because we travelled with friends who have a baby (they were 2 rooms down from us).
Tanya Bara responded
"Thank you so much for your kind words. It truly means a lot. I am so glad I could help make your trip a great experience and the altitude swim up worked out so well for your group. It was a pleasure working with you and I really appreciate your trust in me. I look forward to helping you plan your next getaway whenever you are ready. Tanya "

Family memories in Mexico
Reviewed By BuckinghamFamilyMemories - Abbotsford, BC | Traveled to Puerto Aventura | Quintana Roo | Mexico
We are so grateful to Tanya for her help and expertise in planning our family holiday. We were recommeded to Tanya by a friend after already doing a month of searching for the right place to go and feeling overwhelmed with all the options when trying to find something that met all our family members needs. She immediately took the stress out of the planning in finding the perfect resort for us that met all our family needs from ensuring activities for our 19 and 21 year old and also that met the mobility needs of my motherin law who uses a walker. There was a long list of needs and she went back to the drawing board a few times when we gave her our feedback on her suggested resorts. We ended up with the perfect match at Dreams Aventura in Puerto Aventuras Mexico!! For anyone with mobility needs this was the perfect fit with everything accessible- ramps throughout resort even into the pool, small footprint, firm sand to allow access to beach and only a small lip to access the in room showers(they even provided a chair for in the shower for safety). Tanya also made everything so smooth through the process. Her trip guide was the best as it gives you all the information you didnt know you needed to know for your trip, from suggestions for packing to currency exchange input, to tips on the culture we were visiting and things to do. We will definitely use Tanya for our ongoing travel needs, especially for our dream trip to Italy one day!!! But hopefully something sooner too.

Client Testimonials

Destination Wedding!
Miss Tanya! Thank you SO MUCH for your amazing personality, dedication, and for always being there to chat over the past year! I was referred to Tanya by a mom in my Langley, in an online group, and I’m so glad I reached out. I wanted someone experienced with weddings, Mexico, and group bookings—and Tanya is your gal! We just got married in Cancun with 35 guests from across Canada. Tanya was incredible—handling different time zones, answering every question, and even managing some tricky guests with professionalism and patience. She went above and beyond with personalized itineraries for every guest, including flights, transfers, hotel info, maps, and resort tips—everyone appreciated it so much! I loved how honest she was about the resort too—her transparency was refreshing. She stayed in touch while we were in Mexico and even helped me recover a forgotten backpack from our driver within 15 minutes. Thank you, for everything! You made this experience so easy and unforgettable!
