About Me

Chasing islands off Mozambique
Chasing islands off Mozambique

When we work together, my goal is simple: I want you to feel seen, heard, and supported from the moment we start planning until you’re safely home again. Travel can be exciting, but it can also be overwhelming — especially if you’re autistic, disabled, travelling with kids, using a mobility device, or just trying to navigate a world that isn’t always designed with you in mind. I get that on a personal level, and I build every trip around your comfort, your pace, and your needs.

I’m an autistic woman over 50 who travels solo often, so I understand things like sensory overload, airport anxiety, inaccessible spaces, and the mental load of trying to anticipate every possible challenge. I also know how freeing it feels when a trip is planned with care — when the hotel actually works for you, when the airport process is smooth, when the itinerary matches your energy instead of draining it. That’s the experience I want for you.

My clients come to me for all kinds of reasons:

  • a parent planning a sensory-friendly trip for their child
  • a couple navigating mobility needs on a multi-stop adventure
  • a solo woman over 40 wanting to feel safe and supported
  • someone travelling home to see family after years away
  • a traveler who’s had bad experiences and wants to try again — but with help this time

No matter your story, I take the time to understand what you need to feel comfortable. I ask the right questions, I anticipate the tricky parts, and I stay two steps ahead so you don’t have to. Recently, I’ve coordinated unaccompanied minor travel, arranged a Christmas trip to South Africa, and designed a complex itinerary for a couple including one mobility-device user. Many of my clients come back with bigger, more complex trips, which is the best compliment I could ask for.

I’m originally from South Africa and return often, so I love helping people explore the country. I also specialize in short European stopovers and long layovers — the kind of quick, meaningful adventures that fit into real life. Whether you want structure, flexibility, or a mix of both, I’ll build something that feels right for you.

I also keep my training up to date so I can advocate effectively on your behalf. I’m an Air Canada Expert, a South Africa and Costa Rica Destination Specialist, a Special Needs Group Accessible Travel Advocate, a TREX Travel Industry graduate, and a Virgin Voyages Gold Expert.

At the end of the day, I’m here to make travel feel possible — and enjoyable — for people who don’t always see themselves reflected in traditional travel planning. If you want someone who listens, understands, and builds a trip around you, I’d love to help.

Perfect from start to finish
Reviewed By ALimpAtATime - Ontario | Traveled to Calgary | Alberta | Canada
Kirsten was thoughtful and thorough and made my trip a success. While I didn’t purchase my flight through her this time(I plan to next time), I did purchased travel insurance. Kirsten went over the plan with me to ensure it contained everything I needed and the price cannot be beat! I ended up unwell on my trip and The insurance saved me from having to pay an arm and a leg for care! Highly recommend working with Kirsten when it comes to your travel needs!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

My Teenager's First Solo Trip
Reviewed By Brian G. - toronto | Traveled to Winnipeg | Manitoba | Canada
Kirsten came on to help me plan a tricky trip- sending my 14 yr old to Winnipeg to spend a week with his cousins. Leon is a nervous flyer, and he was not keen on going solo. Kirsten prepped a simple, comparative analysis of the airline's costs-benefits, and together we decided on Porter and NOT paying for a unaccompanied minor option. It worked out great! Not only did we avoid an Air Canada strike, but Leon returned a much more confident traveller, having pushed himself to listen to instructions and safely navigate both flights like a champ. Highly recommend Kirsten, especially if you are admin challenged (like me), or you appreciate calming attention to detail.

Excellent service.
Reviewed By Shaun - Edmonton Canada | Traveled to Amsterdam | Netherlands | Europe
Kirsten is such an amazing travel agent, she is knowledgeable and strives to make sure her clients receive the best package which is within their budget. Unlike other agents who present you with a few options Kirsten will go the extra mile to make sure you not only arrive at your destination but factors things like transit times, trip duration and luggage weight restrictions so your travel is seamless. I received regular messages and emails from Kirsten to check on whether I had all documentation and how the trip was going. As usual with any travel abroad one does not always have access to emails and Kirsten was always accessible to send itineraries via WhatsApp when needed, she also added her email to receive updates on flight delays and cancelations and updated me regarding these. It is rare to find such a dedicated person these days. I highly recommend Kirsten.
