“That ‘elbows up’ patriotism is translating into meaningful, memory-rich travel. I’m seeing clients actively avoid U.S. transits and lean into experiences that offer depth, connection, and perspective – like river cruises, expedition voyages and small ship luxury cruises.”
💬 I was honoured to share these thoughts with Travelweek in their recent article on why Canadian travelers are embracing the moment like never before.
🙏 Thank you to editor @kathrynfolliott and @travelweek for including me in this important conversation. See https://www.travelweek.ca/news/destinations/big-world-events-remind-people-that-they-only-live-once-why-its-been-a-busy-summer-for-canadas-travel-advisors/
✈️ From AmaWaterways to Windstar, Lindblad to Explora, Ponant to Tahiti—I’ve seen clients say “yes” to last-minute splurges, milestone anniversaries, and once-in-a-lifetime journeys. It’s clear: people aren’t putting off their dreams anymore.
💙 That photo? That’s my husband Bill and me, bundled up on a Zodiac in Antarctica, in front of a towering iceberg. The stuff of lifelong memories.
If you’ve got a “someday” trip on your heart, now’s the time.
