Barbados - here I come!

Off to beautiful Barbados for a three-day stay at the iconic Sandy Lane.

Sandy Lane | Official Site

As a luxury travel advisor, visiting the destinations and properties I recommend is one of the most valuable parts of my job. I’ll be spending the next few days exploring the resort, experiencing the facilities, learning more about their tennis programs, and getting a deeper understanding of the island itself.

First-hand knowledge allows me to better match my clients with the right destinations, resorts, and experiences—and there is simply no substitute for seeing it all in person.

Stay tuned for updates, insights, and plenty of photos from Barbados!

For all my clients and travelers that are concerned about fuel shortages and travel in Europe this summer, please note that I have received this from Air Canada. No guarantees, but it should provide some relief.
“You may have seen recent headlines about the global fuel supply and its impact on travel to Europe and wondered what it means for your personal travel.

Please be assured that we are fully expecting to operate our current summer schedule. While global fuel markets remain dynamic, Air Canada has a diversified and sophisticated fuel supply in place. There is no fuel shortage affecting our operations, including across Europe, and we do not anticipate any significant impact through the summer.

Even more importantly, because we’ve built such an extraordinary roster of destinations across Europe, we want you to feel just as confident as we are when you book your travel.”
Please reach out for all your vacay needs ✈️

With the new EES system in Europe, my clients were worried about making their connection in Frankfurt, so we arranged a private meet-and-assist service for them. I truly love working with this family and help plan several trips a year for them — I can’t wait to see where they go next!
“Good morning, Erica! We made it home safe and sound. What an amazing trip! We had the absolute best time, and all the extras we added — especially the private transfers and fast-track service — made everything so much less stressful. I’d highly recommend it to any clients who are on the fence. The Fast Track agent was fantastic and took us through a special gate with no line at all. I honestly don’t think we would’ve made our flight without him! And the villa was perfection. We already want to go back again and again!
Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into this trip for us. You know when a trip feels so seamless, like a duck gliding calmly on the surface while its little feet are working furiously underneath? 🦆 Thank you for being the best duck!”

May 16, 2026 - A truly magical day, marrying my best friend and being surrounded by our amazing children, family, and friends — the people who have shaped our journey, filled our lives with love, and made this beautiful blended family possible. Today is more than the joining of two hearts; it’s the coming together of our children, our stories, our traditions, and our dreams into one extraordinary family. We are endlessly grateful to celebrate this new chapter hand in hand, wrapped in the love, laughter, and support of everyone who means the world to us. Here’s to a lifetime of shared adventures, unconditional love, and creating unforgettable memories together as one family.

Today, during the Virtuoso Canada Tour held at the beautiful and iconic , I had the honour of joining a 3 person panel to discuss sustainability in travel - a topic that means something to everyone. For some, it’s about travelling during off peak seasons. For others, it’s about embracing and supporting local cultures, giving back to the communities, or growing efforts of hoteliers and cruise lines toward a more environmentally responsible and sustainable future. Virtuoso truly represents the best of the best, and I’m incredibly proud to be part of this inspiring network as a Virtuoso Luxury Travel Advisor. Learning never stops in this industry and building trusted, loyal partnerships remains at the heart of every successful travel business.
