Born in the Fraser Valley, I became familiar with the beauty that British Columbia has to offer. I’ve spent countless hours outside camping, hiking and exploring nature. As I’ve grown older, I’ve taken an interest in exploring other destinations and cultures outside that which is familiar to me.
This led to taking opportunities to travel where I could. Through vacations and academic or volunteer trips I’ve visited destinations in the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico and the United States.
Although I enjoy visiting tourist attractions and planning adventures outdoors, one of my favourite experiences while away is exploring a new city by foot.
I look forward to connecting and hearing all about how I can help make your travel dreams come true!
