My Travel Style: Sustainable, curious, adventurous.
Countries I’ve visited: 15.
I chose to study travel & tourism because: I love exploring the world and being outside my comfort zone. I have this fear of being in just one place.Travelling has helped me appreciate and respect our planet and different cultures.
My greatest strength: I know how to handle pressure with grace.
My dream job: Owning a tour company that specializes in luxury Canadian inbound tours.
The most exciting travel trend right now: Outdoor activities like hiking, trekking and swimming. It’s great for overall health and mental well-being. Plus, a booming luxury market with private customized tours is exciting too!
In 10 years I see myself: Thriving in the tourism industry and starting my dream company.
First place I will visit post-pandemic is around Canada! There are so many beautiful places in this vast country. I would also like to go to Las Vegas to visit my grandparents.

Most memorable travel experience: Climbing Mount Fuji.
On my bucket list: Antarctica.
My greatest achievement: Becoming the Baxter Ambassador for Centennial and continuing my career with OTEC during the pandemic.
Worst travel advice I’ve received: Plan and book your travel once you arrive at the destination. I like to do my research months before arriving at my destination.
One positive and lasting outcome the pandemic will have on the travel industry: Increased cleanliness and safety procedures, and the ability of stakeholders (governments, healthcare, travel) to be united if needed.
