About Me

I fell in love with travel later in life — my first trip abroad was in 2014, and since then, I’ve traveled multiple times a year across the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Europe. Sunny destinations quickly became my happy place, and I now have a growing list of places to explore and check off my adventure list.

Using my travel experiences to help others create their dream vacations is my passion, and turning that passion into a career felt like the perfect fit. I realized my love for travel could perfectly match my desire to help others make their travel dreams come true — and so I found my forever place in the travel industry.

My travels throughout Mexico with my family have brought unforgettable memories—from the West Coast to the East Coast of Mexico and everywhere in between. There’s nothing quite like relaxing on a white sandy beach at an all-inclusive resort. I love discovering new places, meeting new people, and experiencing new cultures.

In recent years, I’ve added exciting new adventures to my list: horseback riding and tide pooling along the stunning Oregon Coast, exploring Disney World and Universal Studios, and discovering the beauty of the Azores. I’ve visited iconic European cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice, as well as Greece and Croatia. I’ve experienced the buzz of Las Vegas and even eloped in a helicopter! These moments continue to fuel my passion for travel and inspire me to help others find their perfect getaway.

I’ve had the chance to enjoy so many amazing adventures—surfing, snorkeling, swimming with sea turtles, parasailing, jet skiing, ziplining, ATV rides, cave diving, sub scuba diving, cruising on private yachts to hidden gems, ballooning over Tuscany, and even sailing with pirates! These are experiences everyone should try! Learning to surf is still one of my most unforgettable moments.

While guided tours to popular spots are fun, I’ve found the most memorable experiences come from private tours or exploring off the beaten path on my own. There’s something truly magical about diving into new cultures, tasting local foods, and connecting with people.

Travel is a shared passion, and being part of the planning process is both an honor and a privilege. Your time is precious, and your vacation should be as effortless and enjoyable as possible. My goal is to handle the details so you can focus on making unforgettable memories with your loved ones.

Whether you’re dreaming of a European river cruise, planning a destination wedding or honeymoon, or seeking magical moments at Disney World, I’m here to bring your travel dreams to life.

A memorable Europe trip!
Reviewed By Smattu - British Columbia | Traveled to Italy | Europe
This is the second time we have used Tanya to book our family trip and will do so again. She is on top of things, available when you need it and organized! She helped us book our cruise as well as our time before and after the cruise. She has experience and was knowledgeable about planning tours, hotels, trains which was so helpful as it was our very first cruise and trip to Europe as a family of 5. We would highly recommend Tanya!
Tanya Bara responded
"Thank you for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure helping your family plan such a special trip to Europe. I’m so glad I could take some of the stress out of coordinating the cruise, hotels, trains, tours, and all the details before and after your sailing. It means so much to have your trust for a second family trip, and I’m especially grateful for your recommendation. I loved being part of your family’s first European adventure and can’t wait to help you plan the next one! Tanya"

The Best Trip of our Lives..??
Reviewed By Barb - Squamish, BC | Traveled to Barcelona | Spain | Europe
Trip was so well organized by Tanya. As inexperienced travellers, we would have been lost without her expertise. Hotels were centrally located, lovely and clean. Arranged pickups were right on cue. Daily trip plans, ticket downloads and check-in/check-outs were also lifesaving for us. World attractions suggested by Tanya, were a Bonus!! We will definitely use her again for our next adventure.
Tanya Bara responded

Client Testimonials

Destination Wedding!
Miss Tanya! Thank you SO MUCH for your amazing personality, dedication, and for always being there to chat over the past year! I was referred to Tanya by a mom in my Langley, in an online group, and I’m so glad I reached out. I wanted someone experienced with weddings, Mexico, and group bookings—and Tanya is your gal! We just got married in Cancun with 35 guests from across Canada. Tanya was incredible—handling different time zones, answering every question, and even managing some tricky guests with professionalism and patience. She went above and beyond with personalized itineraries for every guest, including flights, transfers, hotel info, maps, and resort tips—everyone appreciated it so much! I loved how honest she was about the resort too—her transparency was refreshing. She stayed in touch while we were in Mexico and even helped me recover a forgotten backpack from our driver within 15 minutes. Thank you, for everything! You made this experience so easy and unforgettable!
