I have been very lucky to spend my entire travel career here in my hometown of Woodstock. I entered the travel industry as a Junior Consultant in 1989 and I am now a very proud co-owner of Destinations Travel and Cruise Centre.
My travels have taken me to some of my favourite destinations: Australia, Czech Republic, Malta, Greece, Spain, Ireland, Scotland, France, Italy and Costa Rica. I have also experienced numerous cruise lines and visited many of the Caribbean islands. I have been travelling with my children since they were only a few months old and I get such joy seeing each destination through their eyes as we experience it together. We have travelled as a family of 4 to Disney World (multiple times) & Disneyland, Mexico (Mayan Riviera, Puerto Vallarta and Huatulco) and we all enjoy the fantastic cruise ships.
June 2023 I had the wonderful opportunity to travel with Rocky Mountaineer to experience the itinerary from Utah to Colorado. The views were breathtaking and the service on board was incredible!

I am a proud mom to a very active 8-year-old boy who keeps my husband & I busy year-round with his sports and activities!
I started my career in the travel industry in 2010. Before becoming a travel agent, I worked in group sales for a Canadian tour operator where I found my passion for wanting to help my clients and their families connect to the world together. I love my job & I love what I do!
The travel industry is one of the most rewarding industries to be a part of; it's always changing to provide new and exciting opportunities. I have been fortunate enough to have experienced some incredible destinations and it's through my chosen career path that I am able to share it with valued travel family, friends & clients. My travels have taken me to Costa Rica, Mexico & the Caribbean, Spain, France, Austria, Hungary & Italy all of which have been some of my "best trips" to date!
I'm looking forward to working with you & your families to help you find your ideal vacation experience!

I’m excited to be celebrating my sixth year anniversary with the Destinations Travel and Cruise Centre team in Woodstock. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, the customers are treated like family. I am not new to the travel industry ~ I have been in the travel business with another company for 20+ years prior to my move.
I have enjoyed travelling to Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean, California, as well as numerous cruises with Carnival and Royal Caribbean Cruiseline and the Luxury Rocky Mountaineer Rail Journey which was amazing. I have dedicated some time over the years to agent training, most recently the Disney College of Knowledge, Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises Commodore and Norwegian NCL Masters Degree, Vancouver Specialist and the Rocky Mountaineer Luxury Rail Course. This summer I will be celebrating 43 years of marriage to my handsome husband Reg. We have 4 grown children (1 son, 3 daughters), 7 grandchildren(6 boys, 1 girl) as well as a 14-yr old son Bradly at home. We are an active family who enjoy life, summer, travel as well as family time. Life is busy!

My passion for travel has grown exceptionally over the years as I get the chance to do more and more every year. I have been fortunate enough to explore almost every corner of the world. My travels have taken me from sea to sea in Canada and the United States, to foreign ports Downunder and to the far east in China and Hong Kong. Extensively through Europe and to our sunny playground of the Caribbean and Mexico. My favourite, Jamaica.
I have many specialist programs, from Sandals, Princess Cruises, Disney, Avalon, Uniworld, Globus, Trafalgar, Riu, AMResorts, the list goes on.
I’m excited to say, I am in my 30th year of making clients dreams come true and being with Destinations Travel and Cruise Centre for 8 of those years. Woodstock is my home and I love serving the friendly people from here and abroad.

I was one of the lucky ones whom discovers a career path early in life. I traveled with my high school friends by bus to Walt Disney World and from that moment on, I was hooked. After graduation from high school, I pursed my dream of becoming a travel agent & travelling the world.
To this day, helping people navigate Walt Disney World is what gives me the most joy and satisfaction. I never tire of vacationing at the most "magical" place on earth with my friends and family. And now, I am able to share the fun with my grandchildren, the next generation of Disney enthusiasts. The memories we are making are priceless.
I have been fortunate to be in a business I love for over 40 years. I started Di-Namic Travel 20 years, in partnership with my parents Jim and Clara Aspden. I was blessed with having my mom work beside me for many years, and working with such a wonderful, knowledgeable staff.
In early 2019, I merged my business with Destinations Travel and Cruise Centre. I have worked with the Destinations team in the past. Their work ethic and community involvement fit well with those of the Di-Namic Travel team. I trust that our synergy will produce great experiences for our clients and staff.
I am very excited for the future.

After planning my family trips for many years and a need to change careers, I decided to go back to school to acquire my travel and tourism degree.
That was 25 years ago and 6 continents, 5 oceans and 7 rivers in Europe and Asia later.
I have escorted many groups over the years to Asia, Australia, Europe, River Cruises, South America and my yearly groups to Kenya.
Exotic destinations are my passion. I love the new cultures, scenery, wildlife and foods that I am able to experience. Next destination - South Australia!
