About Gillian
My Travel Career
My journey in the travel industry began over 30 years ago. I worked my way up to become a Retail Branch Manager and a Cruise Expert, having embarked on 15 cruises so far. I am extremely well-travelled, having swum with stingrays in Grand Cayman and green turtles in St. Thomas, and completed a PADI course in the Maldives. I‘ve enjoyed sundowners on safari in South Africa, flown in a seaplane over the Canadian glaciers, and braved the world's longest zip line over the sea in Haiti.
Please allow me to share some of my favourite destinations with you.
• Maldives: In the past two years, I've visited the Maldives four times, staying at seven different beautiful islands. We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary at a perfect adults-only resort, but I've also explored islands with fantastic kids' facilities. Each island has its own unique personality, and I can help you choose the one that's right for you. The service here is unparalleled, and the food is simply heavenly!
• South Africa: This year, I had the incredible opportunity to explore South Africa. I went on two outstanding safaris, explored Cape Town, drove along the Garden Route, stayed on the banks of the Zambezi River, and visited Victoria Falls. It's an amazing destination and surprisingly affordable once you're there.
• Caribbean: I planned my own wedding in Cuba, so it holds a special place in my heart. Antigua is another favourite; we've celebrated our 5th and 10th wedding anniversaries there. During my Caribbean cruises, I've visited many islands and St. Kitts and St. Lucia stand out as places I'd love to return to.
• USA: With my daughter living near San Francisco, I frequently visit the USA. My sister also lives in another area in the USA so I've extensively toured the Rocky Mountains and Yellowstone Park, which is a favourite of mine. Florida is fabulous too; I love Fort Lauderdale, Miami South Beach, and of course, I couldn't miss taking the kids to Orlando when they were little!
• Cruise: I've cruised extensively with Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Princess Cruises, and Cunard to wonderful destinations including Alaska, Iceland, Norway, Scandinavia, Russia, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean.
I take pride in providing exceptional customer service, treating each inquiry with the same care and attention as if it came from my favourite family member.
