Living in Québec City, a unique destination full of culture and history, I am grateful to see each day how travel allows all of us, young and old, to broaden our horizons, bring our learning to life, see the world beyond our existence, meet new people and experience new cultures.

After graduating from the University of Western Ontario with a B.A. in Business, I had the incredible opportunity to travel coast to coast, across both Canada and the United States, as a meeting & conference planner. Before landing at Ellison Tours, I specialized in creating conferences that ranged from 10 - 2000 participants while based out of Toronto.

While my speciality is North American travel, I have been fortunate enough to travel internationally as well, stretching from Mexico to many Caribbean destinations and, most recently, Italy. While I never miss the opportunity to explore a new destination, I have to admit I left my heart in San Francisco a long time ago!

I truly believe what St. Augustine once said - "The world is a book, and those that do not travel read only a page."

Whether it's taking a bite out of the big apple in New York City, exploring the soaring architecture in Chicago or discovering the 400 years of history in Quebec City, I look forward to helping you open the book to the world!


Comments from my clients:

"The trip was awesome! It was the best trip I've ever been on and I have travelled with groups to a lot of places using a lot of tour companies. Well done."
