I was in Toronto this week for a Virtuoso Travel roadshow at the Four Seasons Toronto.
It was a great professional conference in Toronto with @virtuosoltd at @fstoronto , and besides being recently honoured by Virtuoso with the designation of "top producer" in my four chosen communities of Adventure, Voyages, Wellness, and Family Travel; I was given the banners to put on my name tag at the conference to share the honour with other attendees.
It was wonderful to show off my community involvement in Virtuoso advisor communities of Adventure Travel, Voyages (Cruises), Wellness Travel, and Family Travel. And I've been invited to join the brand-new Sustainability community, based on my support of sustainable tourism.
It's a wonderful honour from my worldwide-luxury travel consortium, Virtuoso, for me to be named as a "top producer" amongst 20,000+ Virtuoso travel advisors around the world. And I am thrilled to be able to get the recognition, but, more importantly, get access to special offers, my top suppliers' info and knowledge, and also that means special travel resources and deals for you.
So, what's in it for you?

It's so much fun to meet with partners to review new ideas and development in travel.
Besides chatting with my partners at African Travel, Rocky Mountaineer, and more - here's a great trip idea I was talking about with my partner, Heidi, at Backroads Travel. for a family travel experience.
Here are two versions of the same trip with Backroads for a family multi-adventure trip to the Canadian Rockies. You can do a deluxe camping, or - a premiere hotel version.
Let me know if you'd like to go!

Greek islands with intrepid peregrine
By: Cathy
Reviewed on: 04 Oct 2019
Shelia had everything under control. I was met at the airport in Athens and taken to the marina where i was welcomed aboard the boat. What a wonderful cruise despite the wind which had us change our itinerary. But we visited some different places just as wonderful as the original ones if not better. Thank you to Sheila for booking this for me.
Let me know if I can help you travel the world!
