Planes, Trains, & Automobiles
|
|
I am en route to Vancouver today to begin escorting a small group of solo ladies on board the Rocky Mountaineer train.
So, of course, my mind is on trains. And planes. And
automobiles.
One of the great things about my being part of the Virtuoso consortium (the world’s largest luxury travel network), as well as an affiliate of Vision Travel (Canada’s largest travel agency) is that I am part of a worldwide network of travel experts. I have access to the best-of-the-best cruise lines, tour companies, hotels and villas, rail experiences, destination management companies, car services, and air. I can leverage my relationships with these network partners, my feet-on-the-ground
experts (if you will) around the world, to ensure I help you have the best possible travel experiences. Think of me having a wonderful black book of contacts that I can reach out to help you explore the world – and I can put the wealth and strength of those relationships to work for you.
And, being Canadian, I tend to think of John Candy and “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles”. So with a tip of the hat to John, and the delightful silliness that ensures in that movie, let’s consider how I can help you see the world – and avoid John’s issues.

Reduced Solo Supplements with Silversea
|
|
|
Luxury for solo travelers!
I have a reduced solo supplement offer (only a 10% supplement/ extra charge as a solo passenger instead of the normal 100% which would have essentially had you pay for 2 people in the cabin), with these select Silversea cruises.
Do any interest you? Please let me know!

On the Go Presentation - Soft Adventures Tours for Solo Travelers
|
|
| |
We had a great presentation at Ale - Amberwood Lounge & Eatery, Stittsville this week.
I presented soft adventure tours for solo & other travelers. And my special guest, Mike Quinto of On the Go Tours, joined the presentation to share updates on their tours, particularly those of interest to solo travelers. (However, they have tours for all)
I was very pleased to host this event that I put together at Ale Amberwood Eatery and Lounge, and thrilled that my travel partner, Mike Quinto, of On The Go drove from Toronto. Those attending found the presentations inspiring and educational.
Mike is such a knowledgeable and passionate presenter, and terrific ambassador for the On the Go company, so I really love leveraging my relationship with him to get him to come to Ottawa to present to my clients. I already have another group trip in mind (I’ve done recent Ottawa solo traveler groups to Iceland, Morocco, Vietnam and Cambodia with On The Go.)
We’d discussed the various ways On the Go’s trips are friendly to solo travelers. You can find general info here https://www.onthegotours.com/Tours-for-solo-travellers-and-singles . But kindly remember, there are 3 options for solo travelers. You
can:
-
- Book a regularly scheduled tour, and take advantage of their roommate program (same sex share)
- Book a regularly scheduled tour, and in many cases, request ‘my own room’ for a low solo supplement
- Book a select date on select tours to take advantage of the “your own room at no extra charge”
