Portugal and Spain 2025
A two-week adventure through Portugal and Spain filled with ancient ruins, castles, tapas, and travel industry connections. From Lisbon’s lively streets and Sintra’s fairy-tale palaces to Seville’s flamenco rhythms and León’s historic charm, this journey blended food, culture, and a dash of work. Highlights included baking pastéis de nata, sipping wine in a cave, wandering medieval towns, and reconnecting with fellow travel professionals at the ACTA International Destination


Exploring in Our Own Country - Victoria 2025
A soon-to-expire flight pass, a weak dollar, and a craving for something new led us west - all the way to Victoria. From lazy harbour walks and quiet mornings in Beacon Hill Park to wine tastings in Cowichan Valley and a deep dive into the city’s food and craft beer scene, this trip turned into the perfect mix of relaxed exploration and tasty discovery. Here’s how a few days on Vancouver Island showed us that even the other side of the country can feel like home.
