Luxury glamping in British Columbia

Canada

Hidden so deeply in nature you’ll need a boat or a seaplane to reach it, Clayoquot Wilderness Resort offers spectacular glamping in beautiful British Columbia. This is not your ordinary ‘camping’!

Nestled between mountain and river, many of the resort’s safari-style tents nudge the waterfront, furnished with antiques and all the glamour of the city, minus the urban chatter. You can do whatever you choose at your very own pace.

Whether that’s a fishing adventure, a wilderness hike, bear watching or white-water rafting amidst pristine views and just the sounds of wildlife. Come nightfall, venture to the dining lodge for meals doused in gastronomic flare, before jumping in the jacuzzi with a night cap. This is luxury glamping at its best!

"Life is short and the world is wide, the sooner you start exploring it, the better." - Simon Raven

Why I love travel:

Travelling takes us out of our comfort zone and inspires us to experience new things that we otherwise wouldn't in our normal day to day lives. It enriches your life from meeting new people from all walks of life, trying new food from different corners of the world, and humbles you to appreciate the small things in life.

My travel tips:

Always have travel insurance
Wake up early - whether it be to see the sunrise, or to skip a queue, or get a coffee at the local café.
Make a list of the things you want to experience and pre book as much as you can.
Stay local with everything easily accessible on foot.

My top 5 favourite destinations:

Italy - rolling hills and crystal blue waters, stunning villages and cathedrals, amazing food and wine.
South Africa - rich cultural experiences, amazing wildlife on safari, breath-taking landscapes.
Croatia - stunning beaches and unbelievable landscapes from the islands in the Adriatic to the Krka National Park.
Mexico - amazing food, fascinating Mayan culture, stunning beaches, and fabulous architecture from ancient temples to the colonial cathedrals.
Canada - my birth land! The people, the rich forests, lakes, mountains and wildlife.

What's in my suitcase:

First Aid kit as you can never be too prepared.
Travel Diary - make an effort to write down the highlights of your day, you will look back in appreciation.
Sarong or thin, long scarf - will come in handy as a towel or to cover your shoulders when need be.
Small change of local currency - whether it be to buy a bottle of water or a quick snack or to leave a tip.

Travel has always been more than just getting from A to B for me, it’s about the experiences, the memories, and the confidence that comes from seeing the world in a new way.

I love helping people plan trips that truly suit them, whether that’s a relaxing island escape, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, or a well-earned holiday where everything just runs smoothly. I take the time to understand what’s important to each client, and I’m known for being organised, responsive, and honest with my advice.

Having travelled myself and worked closely with trusted suppliers, I enjoy sharing practical insights and industry knowledge that help take the stress out of planning. From the early ideas right through to the finer details, my goal is to make sure you feel supported, informed, and excited about your holiday.

There’s nothing better than hearing about a great trip when clients return, knowing I’ve played a small part in helping create something really special and it's certainly making my Book-It "List" turn into a Novel!

My favourite place I have visited is Puerto Rico - from the beautiful white-sand beaches and the best coffee & chocolate I’ve ever had, this country is so rich with culture. It’s sure to be a memorable port stop on your next Caribbean Cruise.

The next place I would love to explore is Indonesia & South America!
