Profile details

About

A Toronto-based teacher who is always looking for her next family adventure. I thrive by warm oceans and slow-paced beaches that are immersed in local culture.

Travel style

I love curating the perfect itinerary for any style of traveler, having experienced budget, boutique, adventure and family travel. Some of my favorite trips have been a combination of adventure and relaxation — from hiking Machu Picchu, surfing and living in Costa Rica, relaxing on the beaches of the Mayan Riviera and experiencing a safari adventure through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. Traveling and experiencing other cultures is fun, inspiring and a learning experience. I hope to be able to bring that to my clients when planning their travels.

Smita took great care to understand our broader travel needs, time and budget constraints and provided several options for our consideration. Interacting with Smita was a delight and we are very grateful for her suggestions which made our broader travels and the stay at Club-Med such a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

Smita was so incredibly helpful and responsive. She went the extra mile when our travel plans took an unexpected turn due to flight delays. She even coordinated with the hotel to have a special anniversary surprise waiting for us upon arrival. I would absolutely work with Smita again on my next booking. Thanks Smita!

Smita was very proactive as soon as I sent her my travel plans. She kept in touch with me every step of the way to get my take on the hotels at which she was looking and itinerary she planned. Her hotel recommendations for both Washington, DC and New York City were exactly what I was looking for. She was always available for questions I had and did everything she could to accommodate my requests. Overall, my experience with Smita was excellent and I look forward to working with her again on my next vacation.
