Duncan Travel Agent

Hello everyone, I am so excited to be here making travel dreams a reality for so many of you. I have had a great passion for travel from the very first time I ever stepped on my first airplane to travel to Arizona back in 2010. The beautiful scenery, palm trees, and red mountains drew me in. Although it was a work trip, I felt at peace. In 2012 my husband and I took a vacation to Montego Bay, Jamaica, wow what a beautiful Island to visit, we stayed at the Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort and were pampered daily within the resort and even away, with so many exciting excursions we seen so many beautiful spots, and climbed Dunn's River Falls, what a great experience. I then decided to look more into becoming a travel agent in 2019 when my children were a bit older, and mom had more time on her hands for this new adventure. I started a college course in Travel and Tourism which I graduated with highest honors in 1 year. I then decided to become apart of the Fareconnect family. My family and I decided to stick with our plans of Christmas 2020 in Mexico, despite the pandemic. We headed down to Mazatlan RIU Emerald Bay for a week. We had the absolute best Christmas ever, the RIU resorts are one of my favorite. We took a couple of cruise excursions which were mind blowing and still to this day have not found better excursions. Around Christmas time 2020, I had won a trip for a week stay at a Club Med resort, my husband and I stayed at their Cancun, Mexico resort In 2022, definitely a great vacation as well. With the struggling pandemic, I decided to go work for WestJet as a customer service representative from home, what an experience this was, I have to say WestJet is a very good company to work for I gained a lot of knowledge and skills. But my family had other plans on the go leaving Calgary to live on an Island ourselves. We packed up and headed to Vancouver Island, everyday living here in the rain forest of Canada is an adventure. We shortly after moving to BC in 2022 we took a family trip to Varadero, Cuba which wow their sandy beaches are amazing, and to see all the old cars was really neat. I look forward to working with more people, gaining more experience, knowledge and sharing stories soon.
