I am a travel enthusiast letting my passion take the lead in my career.
I love to travel, whether it’s a weekend away to the mountains, an all inclusive 'fun in the sun' vacation with my family, a girls trip to Vegas or exploring a country like Thailand and all it has to offer.
I grew up in Alberta and all our vacations were done on the road. I have memories of summers spent camping in the Okanogan in beautiful British Columbia and a cross country vacation to Toronto.
It wasn’t until I was 21 that I boarded a plane and headed to Mexico. I fell in love and the travel bug hit me hard. Since then I have traveled to Mexico several times, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Thailand and several US States. I’ve also had the opportunity to travel and experience almost every province/territory this great Country of ours has to offer.
I still have many places to check off my dream list, trips to be taken with close friends, family trips with my children and ones that I’d love to take just with my husband.
I look forward to helping you plan your dream trip, family vacation, weekend getaway or anything else you may have in mind!

Hi, we are Felicia and Phil Leisk.
We both grew up in the Barrie Ontario area, we have been married for 20 years and we have 4 girls (18,13,11 and 8).
Growing up we both took driving vacations to the east coast and Florida. We didn’t start really travelling until our honeymoon when we went on a cruise to the Caribbean. Since then we have been multiple times to Las Vegas, Darien Lake and Florida, Jamaica and Mexico. We have also visited Cuba’s stunning beach and the white sands of Dominican Republic. On our last adventure to Florida, we took 2 weeks and drove down. On our way down we stayed in Daytona Beach right on the beach. On the way back we stayed in New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville. We have also driven to New York City.
We are split on our favourite destinations, Felicia’s is somewhere hot and sandy and Phil’s is Las Vegas.
We decided to become travel agents because we would like to learn about and explore more of the world and to help other people plan their dream getaways.
We would love the opportunity to help you and your family with your memorable vacation.

As both a mom and military spouse, following my dreams is not something I do easily. Travel has always been a love of mine, and working in the travel industry a dream. After being posted to Hawaii and living there for 3 years, I knew it was time to pursue working in travel and help others make their dreams come true, along with my own!
Hawaii is now a part of who I am, and is most definitely my favorite place to travel to, it's my favorite place on earth. From the beaches, marine life, food, culture and of course, people, it is truly paradise on earth. While Hawaii is my favorite, the whole world is out there and I look forward to exploring and experiencing so much more.

"I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list." - Susan Sontag
Hi all, my name is Erika and I have severe wanderlust. There is something about travel that is incredibly fulfilling. Each adventure leaves an imprint in your soul, it changes you..
My first trip was to visit family in Europe at 9 months old and since then have explored 32 countries on my "to go" list. Every country is on my list so it is a lifetime goal. I love seeing different landscapes, learning about different cultures, and broadening my horizons. My favourite places thus far, have been Iceland, Dominica, and right here in Canada in the Bugaboo's. They are vastly different places but they each have a special place in my heart.
My 10 year old talks about our vacations almost daily (He's explored 10 countries to date!). I know these experiences are molding him and I'm so happy to have exposed him so much at a young age. I have always helped friends and family find travel deals, another passion of mine is to help people save money!
I've always been told I should have been a travel agent, and it wasn't for a lack of trying that I never did. I chose to follow my money saving passion instead, doing international tax for a large firm. I met Maryanne at a craft show, as the MACS Travel booth attracted me, obviously, and soon after, got on board as an agent. I have LOVED helping more than just friends and family find their *perfect* trip, and saving them money at the same time! I can't wait to help you too!

I am a Registered Nurse with a passion for travel, and am so grateful to be involved in two rewarding careers! I have such special memories of travelling with my family growing up, from various US destinations, to the Caribbean and Europe. These experiences shaped my growth, and definitely planted the travel bug. My husband and I enjoy all-inclusive vacations where everything is taken care of - what a way to reignite your passion for life and feel total relaxation. It's nice to escape from reality sometimes, isn't it?
Exposure to the world is such a special gift, and I feel so lucky to be able to lend my experience as a travel agent to those looking to book an adventure, whether it's a couples escape or family affair!
I'm currently on my own adventure - having my first baby as 2023 comes to a close! I'll be on Maternity Leave until Nov 2024. I would love for you to keep me in mind for your future travel planning!!

Traveling and exploring new places is such a gift and I have been so fortunate to have explored many places across Europe and North America. In Europe visiting Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam, the Palace of Versailles, and the ruins of Pompeii are just some of the many amazing places I have visited. Then there is my love of Hawaii! If I could jump on a plane right now, it would always be to Hawaii. I have been to the four main islands and love them all but for me, Kona will always have my heart.
For the past 25+ years I have worked in various parts of the insurance industry which will allow me to give you peace of mind for your travel plans by protecting your investment and well-being.
Your next adventure starts now, and I look forward to being a part of your next journey!

As a military spouse, devoted Mom, and business owner, I've come to discover that travel and adventure is the ultimate escape from life's daily stresses.
Having personally embarked on exhilarating adventures to The Rockies, France, Italy, Spain, the Caribbean, and so many places in-between, I've experienced firsthand the transformative power of travel.
For me, travel isn't just about ticking off destinations on a map; it's about crafting unforgettable memories, having a mental reset and forming lifelong connections with fellow explorers along the way. Whether it's basking in the sun in the tropics with a spicy marg in hand, finding the best tattoo shop in a new city, savoring exotic cuisines, or diving into the rich tapestry of cultures worldwide, I'm all about embracing every moment!
So, if you're ready to embark on a journey filled with laughter, discovery, or just to relax on a beach and tune out the world, hop aboard and let's create some epic memories together!
Adventure awaits, and I can't wait to be your guide🛩

Hey there! I'm Jennifer - a mom, business owner and self-proclaimed travel addict. Born and raised in beautiful Nova Scotia, travel has been in my blood since a very young age. Growing up, my grandparents owned a home in Florida and I was incredibly lucky to travel there every year from the time I was 6 years old. Those trips sparked a lifelong passion for Disney, each visit adding a new layer of magic and wonder. Even more magical than my experiences as a child, has been the opportunity to take my own kids to Disney and watch them experience it!
So- whether it's Mickey Mouse, enchanting castles, or the wonder of Disney cruises, I've got the scoop to make your Disney dreams come true.
But wait, there is more! My travel passions don't stop at Disney. I am also a huge fan of all-inclusive travel. Think sun-soaked beaches, endless eats, and total relaxation. With extensive experience in planning luxurious all-inclusive vacations, I am committed to crafting unforgettable trips that balance relaxation and adventure- catering to your every need.

Hi, I'm Michelle - a mom, wife and friend who loves the water, beaches, travel and trying new foods. I call beautiful Nova Scotia my home.
My love of travel started with a trip to Barbados, as a teenager. Spending time in another country - staying off resort and experiencing the culture, the sites, food and local people sparked my love for travel and tropical destinations. I enjoy not only spending time on resorts, but also staying in smaller accommodations and experiencing the beauty of the country. I have traveled both for vacation and to learn - with some of my early travels taking me to study the Indigenous peoples of the Bahamas and the United States. I have visited several countries including St Lucia, Dominican Republic, Cuba and Mexico - most of them more than once. My future dream trips are to visit Scotland's beautiful castles, historic sites and quaint towns and also to experience the beauty of Portugal.
My hope, as a travel agent, is to help my clients find vacations that meet their needs and budget, while making them smile! I'd like to take my past booking experiences, as a client - both positive and negative, to help deliver quality service to my clients. My plan is to focus on the little details and tailor vacations to your needs. I want to not only consider client's common needs and concerns for vacations, but also to suit the specific needs of clients who may be more at risk when travelling - such as single women and people from the 2SLGBTQI+ community.
My belief is that everyone deserves the opportunity to safely travel and relax, no matter your budget. Let's build a vacation that suits your needs together...I'd love to be a part of helping you make memories that you can remember forever!

Greetings and salutations beautiful people, my name is Michelle and I hail from outside the Halifax area in Nova Scotia, where I was born & raised.
I am a very proud military mom, fur-mom and owner/operator of a Dayhome within my community and have been for the last 18 years. I’m also a advocate for Mental Health and PTSD awareness.
My love for travel started in my childhood with various summer road trips with my family going thru the United States, Ontario, and within the Atlantic Provinces. I personally have travelled to Europe, The Caribbean, across Canada and the United States.
I believe making memories, sharing moments, have such a deeper importance and value over material possessions. So Travel and experiencing all the world has to offer fits the bill in every aspect.

Travel has become one of the greatest joys in my life. It all started with a trip to Jamaica as a teenager and has blossomed into a full-on passion, especially cruises.
I am a Cruise Travel Specialist. It is a wonderful way to travel, where you can see several ports of call on the same trip and experience a snapshot of the local flavour, cuisine and culture of each. I’ve travelled extensively with my family, that includes my husband Steve and our two boys, with friends and on my own.
I am originally from Ontario, but relocated to Nova Scotia for my husband’s job. Travel has always been my passion and I’ve enjoyed sharing that passion and knowledge with other people, to help make their travel dreams come true.
There is no feeling like cruising the open seas, sitting out on the deck or balcony feeling the breeze and soaking in the rays. Also knowing that you are arriving at another exotic port the following morning, while looking forward to an incredible gourmet meal and world class entertainment that night.
I would love to help you find the cruise or trip that suits your lifestyle, interests and budget.

Hello fellow travel enthusiasts! I’m Shae. I specialize in planning your perfect custom European vacation, with a special interest in foodie travel and outdoor adventures. 🌎 🥘 🥾
I began my traveling as a kid, joining my dad on work trips across Canada and Europe. Early family vacations to Quebec, Mexico, Wales and the Netherlands had me bit by the travel bug at 10 years old, and I’ve taken every chance to get on a plane since then.
Armed with a degree in French Literature and Marketing, I spent the last 8 years working in the world of event management, marketing and consulting. I’m thrilled to bring these skills to the travel industry where they’ll be put to good use crafting your perfect custom trip.
I first realized my passion for travel and my love for all things planning made a winning combo while spending a study-abroad semester in Strasbourg, France. Happily assigned as the weekend trip coordinator of the group, I fell in love with all-things Europe. Since then, Cuba has become a family-favourite, and classic Canadian road trips are an annual occurrence. France will forever be my first travel love, but my next big destination is a personal dream come true: South East Asia!
I thrive on crafting seamless itineraries and unforgettable experiences that cater to your unique budget, interests and needs. Everyone is different, and therefore every vacation should be too! I look forward to helping you explore diverse and wonderful corners of the world, near or far!
