Dream Trips and Adventures by Helen - The Travel Agent Next Door

My client list is small, which is done intentionally as my approach is that of a “Boutique Travel Agency”, taking a “high-service” approach to the client relationship. My clients are well-travelled and look for experiences that will "wow" them! They value their travels, whether that's a romantic getaway, a family trip or a solo adventure….. BUT, they are extremely busy people with full lives and that's where I come in!

My approach is consultative, taking the time to understand the vision and the budget and then I go to work, crafting the exact experience that they are looking for. I pride myself on giving both my time and attention to each client. You will never feel rushed or unimportant. In fact, I treat my clients travels as if they are my own and only take on clients that are a good match, which is why I offer a complimentary client consultation meeting before we agree to move forward on any trip.

I support clients in both the United States and Canada and am able to do business in both currencies.

About Me

I took my first transatlantic flight at 5 years old and haven’t stopped travelling since then! In fact, I travel regularly and with the same extraordinary companies that I trust with my client's trips. I know exactly what travel is like right now, and I take the time to help you feel prepared and supported from the moment we begin the client relationships, until you have completed the trip and arrived back home again!

I am a Certified Travel Advisor and an Accredited Cruise Counsellor, which means that I have spent the time (and continue to) to keep my industry and supplier knowledge and skills up to date. I also have MBA specializing in corporate mergers and acquisitions! Years of experience in the corporate world has taught me the value of relationships, the importance of the client’s experience and the ability to manage critical projects with tight deadlines.

The difference now is the passion that I have for travel and learning about now places and new experiences, which enables me to give my clients the very best of me AND brings me great joy each day!
