Custom Independant Travel Specialist

Cruising the  Mekong River in 2019
Cruising the Mekong River in 2019

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to explore and discover the world. Once I began to realize my dream, I also made it a lifelong goal to devote myself to providing exceptional experiences for clients. I have been in the travel industry for over 40 years and opened my own agency, Migrations Travel and Cruises, in Caledon in 1994.

Each time I start the planning process with you, I listen to the type of experience you are looking for. It is key to me to understand how you want to travel, what matters to you, and your planned budget, so that the experience is personal and exceptional. I treat each project with the care I would expect if I were travelling, and strive to make your experience as close to perfection as possible by maintaining my commitment to service before, during and after your getaway.

The sun drenched beaches of the Caribbean, the varying forests of Costa Rica, the Savannas of Africa, Italy's Tuscan countryside, and the streets of Seville, Spain are just a few of my favorite destinations. While there are still some countries I have yet to discover, I have travelled to all corners of the globe, and am continually researching remote destinations to expand my horizons so that I can make new and exciting recommendations for clients who might be looking for the road less travelled.

Let me help you realize your travel dreams. I am excited already and can't wait to meet you!

Japan with a 15 year old!

I have worked with Helga for many years and on some very complicated itineraries that required many hours of research and commitment. She has come up with extraordinary tour guides, hotels and restaurant tips.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Down to every single detail!
Reviewed By Jac.C - Seville and Mallorca | Traveled to Spain | Europe
Helga has gone absolutely above and beyond again! I have worked with Helga a few times before but this time it was a very special occasion! My honeymoon! My husband and I really only had a vague idea of where we wanted to go, and didn’t give Helga much help. Not only did she recommend the perfect destination but also gave us options of different places within the country. We ended up going to southern Spain and were blown away! The two hotels Helga set us up with were something out of a movie. Absolutely stunning, the best service and couldn’t have picked better locations. Helga uses a special travel app and enters all of the information for your trip into it so all your timelines, information, e tickets everything is all in one place. If you’re a Type A traveller like I am this is incredible!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

I would have said the Antarctic Cruise we did last year
Reviewed By MotoDiva - King City, Ontario | Traveled to Budapest | Hungary | Europe
I would have Sid the Antarctic Cruise we did last year but just being back a week from Jewels of Europe on Scenic River cruise I may have to change my mind. Helga did an amazing job of finding us this river cruise. Right from the beginning finding the perfect itinerary and amazing cabin and to picking flights. Helga always keeps in touch during the trips in case of changes or issues. Can’t wait to see what she finds for us next!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Out of the Cold!
Reviewed By The Martins - Wasaga Beach, Ontario | Traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands | Caribbean
Although Helga has contributed to the planning of many trips for us, this one is special. In spite of very short notice, Helga demonstrated her usual attention to detail by first listening to us. Like all good problem solvers, Helga was relentless in trying to identify our best options. Helga thinks of everything. Every aspect of the trip, including possible destinations, suitable accommodations, range of activities, flight reservations, all of these are addressed with her careful thought and experience. With intelligence and intuition Helga moves from "big picture" to "small picture" issues with ease. Helga is personable, thoughtful and thorough.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
