The concept I like to promote to my clients is a lush life
.
I craft travel experiences that contain magic and wonder for the whole family (or a subset).
I've been doing this for about 8 years, but before that, I was an actuary. I dealt a lot with conventional return on investment (ROI) before, and I deal hourly with
return on life (ROL)
now. It's as if I went from being a true actuary to a
happiness actuary
.
I love that my whole role is about helping you
build memories
. Whether it's a "fly n' flop" beach holiday, a Galapagos expedition, a family reunion safari, a family bonding/ biking trip with university-bound kids, or a couples' wine -themed river cruise, I focus on what you want to bring home from each trip
. It's all about the experience.
Value is more important than price.
Let's set up a complimentary consultation, so I can start helping create your Lush Life.

Welcome to my weekly Sunday travel newsletter.
Happy Easter! Happy Spring! Happy, happy everything! I wish you joy. I wish you love. I wish you sunshine from above.
Spring is sprung, the grass is riz, I wonder where dem birdies is.
Not sure if it's a chocolate high that's making me wax poetic, but I wish you a season of celebration and renewal with your loved ones.
This week, I thought I'd have a look at walking and wine holidays in Europe. The wine we've got covered this holiday, but we might need a little more walking after all the rich foods and desserts.
Have a look at the 3 moderate-luxury active trips featured in the articles below. I've continued the theme in the VAST (Virtuoso Active & Specialty Travel) trips also highlighted.
Of course, river cruising is still at the forefront of my mind as a way of combining walking and wine holidays in Europe.
There is something really exciting happening next Monday, April 13th at 6 pm. I'm co-hosting an event with Shepherd's Fashions, featuring Tauck Tours.
Fashion and travel can often go hand-in-hand, think of a getaway to Paris, and browsing in the shops; consider hunting for vintage treasures in Budapest; and maybe open your mind in Bangkok learning about local fashion and custom.
On April 13th, fashion and travel will come together in a new way in Ottawa. Shepherd's Fashions & Lush Life Travel will co-host an event together. Read the article below, and rsvp here for a fantastic evening. Get Tickets
Have a great week, and let me know if you'd like me to feature a particular destination/ style of travel in next week's newsletter.
Best regards,
Sheila

Cinque Terre and Tuscany Hiking Tour
6 Days - July 12th 2015 (other dates available)
How do you prepare for this adventure? First you walk, and practice stopping suddenly. So that you'll be ready for the spontaneous views - colorful villages clinging to cliffs with waves crashing below. Then pick the most delectable Chianti you can find. It won't match the Classico in Panzano but it's good practice. Finally get your fill of just-off-the-boat fresh seafood, hearty pork and beef, friendly people, rows of cypress, warm sunlight, patchwork hills and the blue Mediterranean. And you've got a good start.
Cost from USD $3198 p.p. twin share (Land Only)

Walking in Mallorca (Moderate)
8 Days - September 13th 2015 (other dates available)
Behind Mallorca's fa?ade lies a tranquil and timeless landscape. Rising abruptly out of the island's interior are the craggy outcrops of the Tramuntana Mountains, over which birds of prey can often be seen soaring on the breeze. Following a network of established trails, we trek to some of the highest peaks and enjoy spectacular vistas to the Mediterranean. Elsewhere we discover picturesque hamlets complete with mediaeval churches and pass terraced hillsides adorned with sun-kissed citrus trees. In contrast, our coastal walks will reveal sleepy fishing marinas, secret coves and pebble bays.
Cost from CAD $1250 p.p. twin share (Land Only) Read more: http://www.visiontravel.ca/sheilagh/active-travel/walking-in-mallorca-moderate

Virtuoso Active & Specialty Travel (VAST)
The New 2015 Vast Collection Catalog is out. Click on the photo on the right to see more.
Besides the great trips sampled above, I also work with VAST suppliers to add even another layer of wonder and discovery. VAST is a special subsection of my Virtuoso network partners, and that unique collection offers some really specialized active adventures and extraordinary experiences.
There are so many ways to work with VAST partners, and have a different kind of getaway. Here is a sampling of some trips that will help you consider a walking & wine tour to Europe.

A Special Evening w Shepherds & Tauck
A new twist on travel concierge
Fashion and travel can often go hand-in-hand; think of a getaway to Paris, and browsing the shops; consider hunting for vintage treasures in Budapest; and maybe open your mind in Bangkok learning about local fashion and custom.
On April 13th, fashion and travel will come together in a new way in Ottawa! Shepherd's Fashions & Lush Life Travel will co-host an event together.
We came to this partnership because of a mutual focus on personalization. Shepherd's makes sure every piece of clothing you ultimately purchase fits you perfectly through a series of trials and questions; while Lush Life Travel crafts your ideal vacation experience with personalized luxury service.
In short, Shepherd's gets to know you, and brings out your beauty and style as your fashion concierge; Lush Life gets to know you, and helps produce some of the best experiences of your life as your travel concierge. We both start every process with who you are, and build off that.
Here's a little bit about Shepherd's Fashions.
We're delighted to present a fashion show, a travel discussion, and a focus on European River Cruising options with Tauck Tours. Tauch Tours' motto is "how you see the world matters." And there could be no better partner we profile with Shepherd's and Lush Life.
Come learn why Tauck Tours gives you "uncommon access," and why Tauck River Cruises have won #1 river cruise company 3 years in a row.
