My journey in this amazing career began when I saw a couple of passengers who were escorted by a tour guide. It was exciting as they were sharing joyful moments from their trip to the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest, and the excitement in their expressions was unforgettable. In that moment, I realized that I wanted to work in the tourism industry. In Ecuador, I worked with airlines and cruise companies, where I had the opportunity to learn in depth about the Galapagos Islands, the Amazon rainforest, and land services across the Ecuadorian mainland. The experience that I have been developing during this time has opened the door for me to join Goway Travel. I’ve travelled throughout South America, beginning in Ecuador and continuing through Peru, then crossing into Chile. I also visited Cartagena to experience the Caribbean side and learn more about its vibrant culture and warm people. In Central America, I’ve had the chance to explore Costa Rica, and its spectacular Pura Vida spirit has truly captured a special place in my heart. I’m delighted to assist my clients and share my travel spirit with every journey I design. Let’s work together to create an unforgettable experience for your guests.

Fun Facts

My passion for travel goes far beyond visiting new destinations to learn about different cultures, connect with local traditions, and experience the authentic spirit of each place. One of my favourite parts of every journey is enjoying the landscapes, tasting local food and beverages; those experiences create memories I’ll carry with me for a lifetime. I love talking with people to learn about who they are, what they enjoy, and what excites them about travel. Connecting on a personal level allows me to create journeys that feel unique and unforgettable.

Favourite Travel Memory

Two of my favourite trips have been to Chile and Costa Rica. When I visited Chile, I decided to travel solo. I wanted to experience what it’s like to explore on my own and learn how to take care of myself while travelling. It turned into an unforgettable adventure. I explored Santiago, Viña del Mar, Valparaíso, Puerto Montt, Puerto Varas, and San José de Maipo. I love looking back at my travel photos, and now I relive those moments when I share my experiences with my clients. My second amazing trip was to Costa Rica. I explored Alajuela, La Fortuna, Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, and Corcovado National Park. It was simply spectacular to see how such a small country has become a sustainable Pura Vida paradise. The rainforest, the jungle, the landscapes, and the incredible activities offered there go far beyond what most travellers could ever dream of.

We recently traveled to Portugal and had the most wonderful experience. As our first venture overseas, we decided to search online for travel assistance. We happened across Goway Travel and are so glad we did! Michael Keon, our Destination Specialist, is extremely proficient and knowledgeable in his profession. "Thorough" is an understatement. He assisted every step of the way from the moment we stepped on our flights, transfer arrangements, hotel accommodations, train travel and multiple tours/outings tailored to our specific needs/wish list. He provided unparalleled guidance and support during the planning process and was always available to discuss any questions/concerns. His communications were always prompt and concise. Without a doubt, our best trip to date...there will be no hesitation to contact Mr. Keon for future travels. Joanna Lynn Mays Michael Andrew Mays Joanna Mays

What made this experience great was Cedric Wai. Had a client going to Asia and this is Cedric's wheelhouse since he is from there. Everything was wonderful. Everything went smoothly. The individual tours were wonderful and all the guides were exceptional. A lot of traveling-the flight was very good on Cathay Pacific would highly recommend their airline seats were comfortable and spaced well. Being on an airplane for 16 hours sucks in general, but other than being a little sore from being stuck in one place all was good. Thank you so much for all your help and the trip was wonderful and everything that it should be! Next trip will be much more relaxing, sitting still for a while on a beach somewhere ha ha!Careen Sullivan

My destination specialist, Katie Stephenson was amazing from the onset. Her customer service, communication style and planning skills was so timely and top notch. Our trip was to Fiji, New Zealand and Australia, from Aug 4-22, 2026. The way she planned and booked the trip makes the experience convenient and enjoyable. The flexibility of payment makes the decision faster and attractive. Everything we need to know including contacts were readily available within our travel documents itinerary. Overall, I'll say it's money well spent and a lifetime experience particularly for my kids.Festus

Had an excellent tour of Australia, thanks to our travel specialist Katie Stephenson. She was patient as we kept modifying our plans. Got support from Goway and Katie when there was a need to rebook a tour midway through, all handled easily by Goway.Ron Preston

We went on a highly customized comprehensive (though quick tour) of England and a bit of Scotland through Goway. Ingrid Aird did an amazing job of planning and arranging every detail with her deep experience, insight, thoughtfulness and creativity, tuning into the needs of each traveler; and she did so even though our decision to travel was rather spontaneous and last minute! Our family had the best time! We look forward to working with Ingrid and Goway again!Vilja Breiling
