Vanessa Reid

Vanessa was born in England and started her first adventure at the tender age of 6 on the high seas to the Caribbean.Though it took time for her to adapt to the rhythms and cultures of Jamaica, she was already hooked by the music of the Caribbean.  By age 12, the family was on the move again heading back to the UK and 2yrs later it was across the Atlantic to Canada. Not knowing that this is where her passion for travel began.

Since graduating from the International Institute of Travel, Vanessa has been kissed by Giraffes in Nairobi, visited the citadel of Machu Picchu, travelled to 12 countries in Europe, 4 countries in Africa, experienced 3 African Safaris, visited the Ngorongoro Crater, zip lined over the trees of Costa Rica as well as her very first time water rafting in Costa Rica.  She has visited most of the Caribbean Islands and extensively in Mexico and 14 states in the USA. 

Vanessa has spent the last 28 years carving her 6 niches in travel, having worked for some of the largest travel companies in the world.  She is a TICO Certified Travel Counsellor, a past Professor at Seneca College, a Certified Destination Weddings & Honeymoon Specialist, Certified Sandals Specialist, Certified Event Planner, Spa & Wellness Specialist, AMResorts Master Agent as well as a Meeting & Incentive Travel Planner. She is constantly learning, teaching and coaching other independent agents when they need assistance. 

The combination of her vast travel knowledge, paired with her insane creativity, has given her the skills to curate and design vacation experiences that are rich with history, culture, luxury and personal growth.

Vanessa is a foodie and enjoys trying the many culinary flavours wherever she travels. She is looking forward to her next adventures of a river cruise on the Nile in Egypt & Africa as well as exploring more of South & Latin America.

She strongly believes the world is our oyster and we have the freedom to do anything and go anywhere in it! So stop daydreaming about your next vacation and let Vanessa help you to discover the world!
