Luxury Travel, Done Right—Expertly Curated, Effortlessly Seamless
There’s a big difference between booking flights and arranging a truly memorable bucket list travel experience. You might be able to book a flight in seconds online, but will that website tell you the best suite in a five-star resort, ensure VIP treatment on a luxury cruise, or guarantee you’ll actually set foot on Antarctica instead of just sailing past it?
That’s where I come in.
You want to take a river cruise, but all you know are the commercials—and you have no idea which cruise line aligns with your style. Which one offers the economy, premium economy, or business class equivalents when it comes to accommodations, dining, and inclusions?
You’re dreaming of an expedition cruise, but you don’t realize that the cheaper, high-volume Antarctica options often mean you may never set foot on the continent. When you have to wait your turn for landings, and bad weather rolls in, your bucket-list dream could turn into a missed opportunity.
I don’t sell travel—I curate extraordinary experiences tailored to your style, preferences, and expectations. As a Virtuoso Cruise Icon and top luxury travel advisor, I leverage my global network of top-tier travel partners to ensure your experience is seamless, luxurious, and full of hidden perks you won’t find online.
And I do this as a proud Canadian—originally from Newfoundland, now based in Canada’s capital city, Ottawa.
Luxury Travel Isn’t About a Price Tag—It’s About Value
Travel advisors do not sell travel. Clients can buy travel anywhere. The real value of a luxury travel advisor is in our knowledge, experience, and service.
I make sure your investment in travel delivers maximum return on life.
✨ I design your itinerary with precision—from securing the best suites to arranging VIP airport transfers and private guides.
✨ I get you exclusive access—from after-hours museum tours to Virtuoso perks like complimentary room upgrades and onboard credits.
✨ I anticipate the unexpected—because when flights get canceled, borders change rules, or you need an alternative plan, I’ve already got a solution in place.
Luxury isn’t just about where you go—it’s about how effortlessly you get there.
Staying Informed—Navigating the U.S.-Canada Travel Uncertainty
As an industry leader, I’m always staying ahead of shifts in travel trends and policies. That’s why I was recently interviewed by TravelWeek to discuss how travel advisors are pivoting amid the potential U.S.-Canada trade war and its impact on travel bookings.

This is why working with a knowledgeable travel advisor matters—I don’t just book trips, I help navigate global shifts so my clients can travel with confidence.
Why Book Canadian?
If you haven’t seen the classic I Am Canadian rant (watch here), it captures the pride we have in doing things our way—thoughtful, connected, and world-class. That’s how I approach luxury travel.
As Zita Cobb recently shared in her LinkedIn post, “Buy Canadian” is on everyone’s mind these days. That means supporting Canadian-owned businesses, considering travel within Canada when possible, and when heading further afield, ensuring your travel choices align with your values—whether that’s sustainability, cultural immersion, or authentic, meaningful experiences.
If you’re investing in luxury travel, make sure you’re buying it wisely—with a Canadian luxury travel expert who runs her own boutique agency, Lush Life Travel.
