Canal boating along the Canal du Midi

France, Europe

No prior boating experience necessary, just bring your sense of adventure! A great way to share quality family (an extended family) time as you slowly meander (between 8-10 miles an hour) along the canals, navigating locks, stopping to explore quaint villages, castles and châteaux - you might even find a Michelin star restaurant a short stroll from dock! Toulouse is often referred to as ‘Paris in miniature,’ a maze-like city and a great place to start your canal boating adventure. Overflowing with art galleries and excellent food, make sure you shop for a picnic of local produce at Marche Victor Hugo or grab a cassoulet lunch in an eatery above the covered market before you set off. The 9 locks of Fonseranes (also known as the Octuple) in Beziers is a Canal du Midi must do and a great way to end your canal boating journey!

I like to think of myself as a breath of fresh air in the travel industry. Having spent some time living in both the USA and the UK, my love for travel truly blossomed during that time. I firmly believe that exploring the world opens hearts and minds, offering lessons you can’t find anywhere else.

Organising travel might sound simple, but when you’re juggling five different airlines, hopping between continents, and coordinating an international cruise with visa requirements and embarkation rules to navigate, it can quickly become overwhelming. Lucky for you, I’ve got the expertise and experience to make the entire process smooth and stress-free, so you can focus on enjoying the journey.

For me, it’s all about you. Hearing about your dream adventures and helping turn them into reality is what makes my job so rewarding—it’s a privilege to be involved in such exciting moments. No dream is too big or too small! Whether it’s a luxurious journey through Asia, hopping across Europe’s hidden gems, a self-drive adventure in Australia, or cruising the stunning Baltics, any adventure has the potential to be truly magical.

If it’s on your bucket list, let’s make it happen—I’m here to listen and bring your vision to life!
