Trip planning is the key to a smooth and enjoyable travel experience, allowing you to make the most of your time and budget. From choosing the perfect destination to booking accommodations, transportation, and activities, careful planning ensures that every detail aligns with your preferences and needs. Researching local customs, weather, and must-see attractions helps create a well-balanced itinerary, while factoring in flexibility allows for spontaneous discoveries. Whether it’s a relaxing beach getaway, an adventurous trek, or a cultural exploration, a well-thought-out plan enhances your journey and minimizes stress, making travel more rewarding and memorable.
Before heading to the airport, make sure you're all set for a smooth journey! Here are a few tips to help you prepare:
Travel Documents: Make sure you have your passport, visa (if required), boarding pass, and any other necessary travel documents.
Baggage: It's always a good idea to verify the dimensions and weight of all your baggage. If your bags exceed the allowed size and/or weight, additional fees may apply.
Are you all packed? Double-check your suitcase and carry-on to ensure you haven't forgotten anything essential.
Carry-On: Know what you can bring in your carry-on from Canada. This includes liquids in containers of 100ml or less, electronics, medications, and any other essentials.
Snacks: Pack some snacks for the trip to keep your energy up, especially if you have a long flight or layover.
Airline App: Download the airline app for easy access to your boarding pass, flight status updates, and other useful information.
Travel can be unpredictable. To ensure you’re covered for any surprises, travel insurance is a smart move. It helps with medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost luggage, travel delays, and even evacuations if needed. Plus, it gives you peace of mind, so you can focus on enjoying your trip. Remember, planning a trip might take months, but it only takes minutes for something to go wrong. Stay prepared and travel worry-free!
Planning your trip is exciting, but it's essential to be well-prepared. Understanding the entry requirements for your destination ensures a smooth travel experience. Each country has specific rules and guidelines you must follow, including visas, vaccinations, and other necessary documentation.

I don’t just plan trips—I design journeys that feel like they were made just for you. At One Life to Travel, every itinerary is crafted with intention, care, and a deep understanding of what matters most to you.
My love of travel began long before this became my profession. After years of exploring the world, building trusted relationships, and creating unforgettable experiences for people I love, turning that passion into purpose felt like a natural next step.
Today, I specialize in custom journeys that reflect who you are and what you’re craving—from soulful escapes to milestone celebrations. I take time to get to know you, so every detail feels personal, seamless, and inspired by your vision.
This is a boutique agency built on trust—not transactions. And I’ll be here—not just at the dream stage, but for every moment along the way.
Because life is short. And your travels should feel unforgettable.
The name comes from two places—both close to my heart.
When my kids were teenagers, I realized something: they already had what they needed throughout the year. Growing up, birthdays and holidays were when we waited for that one special thing. But today, most people can’t even remember what they got for their last birthday—yet they never forget the trips they took. I wanted to give my children memories, not things.
Then there was my dad. He passed away at 64—just one year shy of retirement. I remember him saying:
“Don’t spend all your money. Don’t get into debt. But don’t wait either. Travel. Do the things that make you happy while you still can.”
He had spent a lifetime planning and saving for someday—but someday never came. That stayed with me. It shaped not only how I live, but why I built this business.
Because travel isn't something to put off. It's something to lean into—now, while we're here to savor it.
If you had only one life to travel, make every journey count.
