As a seasoned travel professional – and a seasoned traveller! – I love nothing more than turning my clients’ dreams of a vacation, no matter how exotic, come true. For over 10 years now I have specialized in luxury, multi-generational travel. Whether your family trip will involve four or 40 travelers, I am here to do comprehensive research and plan every aspect of the trip: I truly believe no detail is too small.I have organized vacations in private villas, to some of the world’s most legendary hotels, and to private islands. About half of my clients choose to cruise, which can be a great solution for a multi-gen group, serving everyone’s varying tastes and needs.On a personal note, I have travelled to over 70 countries, and to all 7 continents. I love the exotic and count Africa, Antarctica, Vietnam, and the Galapagos Islands among my most memorable experiences - although Italy remains a firm favourite and a destination many clients love too. I have also experienced over 40 cruises including river, ocean, and expedition cruises.As a firm believer in continuing education, I always strive to keep my product knowledge up to date. I’m a Certified Travel Advisor and an Accredited Cruise Counsellor and hold certificates from numerous cruise lines including Silversea, Seabourn, Regent, Crystal, Celebrity, Cunard and International Expeditions. As well, I am certified with two of the world’s best and most exclusive tour operators, Tauck and Abercrombie and Kent.Lastly, I am proud to say that most of my clients are repeat. Online reviews of my service include “I cannot imagine booking a trip without Lynne!” Clients tell me I am well-informed, pleasant, and easy to deal with and “spot on with my recommendations.”If I sound like the sort of travel advisor you need on your side, please contact me. The happiness, safety and enjoyment of you and your family will be my top concern!
