About Me

www.iLandLuxuryTravel.com

I am a traveler by profession, an adventurer by nature and an explorer by heart. 

I LOVE to explore the world and it gives me great pleasure to assist my clients with their adventures!!

It is said that if you love what you do you never work a day in your life.

I am one of the fortunate few who love what I do!!

I am a graduate of the Travel Institute as a Certified Travel Agent (CTA) and  Certified Travel Industry Executive (CTIE).I’m the Founder and Owner of  iLand Luxury Travel.

I've been in the luxury travel business full time for over 20 years and have extensive knowledge of how to safely and securely curate private adventures worldwide by land, sea, air.

I have been on Safari in Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa. Been close enough to see the eyelashes of a wild elephant. I've ridden a camel around the Pyramids of Egypt. Traversed the Sinai Desert to St. Catherines Monastery, snorkelled the Red Sea. Circumnavigated South America on a 75 day adventure. Explored Italy in depth. Visited Ephesus, the Parthenon and The Sphinx. Watched the penguins waddle on the tip of South America.

I've sailed on a Live-a-Board Dive Vessel in the Great Barrier Reef and been in 120 degrees temperature in the Outback of Australia. hiked the base of Uluru (formery Ayers Rock) Rooted for the Blacks in New Zealand and watched the America's Cup sail into harbour.  Felt the roar of the engines at the Grand Prix. Helicoptered to a ultra private luxury island in the Seychelles with only the turtles and a few other humans!

I've fished for Salmon at a private luxury lodge in Canada. Walked a section of the Great Wall of China and stood in the pit next to the Terra Cotta Warriors.

I've hiked amongst the Moai on Rapa Nui (formerly Easter Island), boated, sailed, snorkelled, dove the beautiful Hawaiian Islands (17 times!).

Whale watched in Alaska on a private excursion complete with beach bon-fire and smores.

Had a private visit with ancient globes in a Monastery in Italy, visited the Monastery in St. Catherines, explored the Monasteries in Meteoria, Greece.

Took a tiger for a walk in Tiger Island. Hiked the Daintree Rain Forest.

So many fun adventures to be had!!

I am so looking forward to assisting with your grand adventures!!

Client Testimonials

Week Long Golfing California
We are all packed and waiting for the car to take us back to the airport after a lovely trip to Beverly Hills. The Peninsula was one of the best properties we have had the pleasure of visiting. The room was beautiful, the staff couldn’t have been more attentive and friendly and the house cars are Bentley’s and Rolls Royces. Seriously, who could ask for anything more? All of the restaurants recommended by the concierge were fantastic. I don’t have to tell you about LA weather. 78 to 85 and crystal clear blue skies every day. Golfing was great! Thanks for all you did to make our stay fantastic. Until next time. M&G
