Hello! I’m Sheri, your go-to travel advisor and a Certified Travel Counsellor who’s all about creating unforgettable adventures. My passion for travel took off with my first solo plane ride as a young girl, and it’s been a lifelong adventure ever since! Whether it’s planning river cruises or crafting bucket-list journeys, I’m here to make every detail count and every trip memorable.

I’ve had the privilege of exploring some incredible places across Europe, the UK, and the Mediterranean, and I can’t wait to share my firsthand experiences with you! Cruising has become a true passion of mine; I’ve sailed through the Caribbean and Europe, soaking up the vibrant cultures of each place I’ve visited. But river cruising is my ultimate favorite! I’ve journeyed along the Danube and the Rhine, and I’m thrilled to soon be setting off on the Rhone.

There’s nothing like stepping off a river ship right into a picturesque new destination, especially during the holiday season. I recently experienced my first Christmas Market cruise on the Rhine, and it was pure magic. With 31 countries now checked off my list, the UK holds a special place as my favorite. I can’t get enough of all things British, and my next big travel dream? A river cruise down the Nile!

With over 25 years in customer service, I bring warmth, precision, and a bit of sparkle to every trip I design. I leave no detail overlooked, so planning with me feels as exciting as the journey itself. Let’s create memories you’ll treasure forever!

Just what we needed
Reviewed By Sophi D - Hamilton, ON | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
This was our 1st time booking with Sheri so we didn't know entirely what to expect. From our 1st interaction, my partner and I felt as though we just talking talking to a long time friend. Sheri made this process seemless, she was available when needed her, she listened and delivered exactly what we asked for and a little extra. From now on Sheri will always be out 1st contact for travel advise.

An Amazing Trip!
Reviewed By MelissaC - Ontario | Traveled to Riviera Maya | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Well, my wife was turning 50 and she’s a planner. I think she spoke to Sheri about 18 months ago to start planning for her birthday. Sheri was great, I know Tracy asked lots of questions. We had friends join us and Sheri helped them as well, and got a treat for the referrals. Our trip went smoothly, we were prepared for being in Mexico (floaties and lots of pesos). No surprises and we had great food, weather and fun! Thanks Sheri!

An absolutely perfect vacation!
Reviewed By JenG - Essexville, Michigan | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
I'm from Michigan and a cousin from Toronto invited me to join a group for a cruise. I didn't know where we would be travelling or how much it would cost, but I was in. I had never been on a cruise before, and I couldn't pass. How lucky I was to travel with such wonderful new Canadian and Scottish friends! And how lucky I was to travel with an experienced travel agent. I had little idea of what to expect and didn't know how to plan, so the fact that one of our group (Sheri!) was extremely experienced, was a godsend. Well before embarkation, Sheri was in constant touch. She handled the flights and kept us updated on the documents we needed, when to pay, and how to become 'ocean ready.' She also shared fun activities, such as going to the art auctions, buying Princess merchandise on sale towards the end of the cruise, and movies under the stars. A trip of a lifetime is a bit cliche, but that's exactly what it was! Every question I had as a first-time cruiser, she answered. What good
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
