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 decided to go to France for 3 weeks in September and knew we needed help planning the trip (we made this decision in August so a very short time frame. We had traveled with Goway a few years ago and were hoping they could help. Our specialist, Farnaz Bagheri, was fantastic, she listened to what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. She literally arranged everything with her French partners. The guides and drivers were wonderful the accommodations were excellent. Communication was easy from the first discussion to the time we got home. Farnaz planned for us an exceptional trip in a very short time frame. Promise next trip we will contact Goway much earlier. Thanks againSue Blake

As a travel advisor, I recently booked a group of clients on a Goway tour in China following their paddleboat competition, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Christine and Tanya in the groups department were incredibly helpful and made the entire process seamless. Their support was greatly appreciated! The feedback from my clients was overwhelmingly positive, with particular praise for the local tour guides, who helped make the trip so memorable. Everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you, Christine, Tanya, and the Goway team, for taking such great care of my clients. I would happily recommend Goway and look forward to working with them again!customer

I wanna start off by saying that Farnaz our agent was excellent!!! she planned the whole experience from start to finish. We did not have to worry about one thing the entire trip. All the hotels were great. Our transfers from hotels to fairies to airports were all available and always on time. The excursions she planned for us were all top-notch. I was a little skeptical, but just finding GOWAY online stumbling across it. But I’m so glad I made the choice to use them. I hope they definitely using the company again and especially our agent Farnaz!!! Thank you do mych for a wonderful experience! Catherine

Our goal for this trip was a stress free honeymoon where we did not have to think about anything! Goway made that successful. Everything was planned and ready for us. We just had to show up. Brooke recommended fantastic accommodations that were in great locations, clean and comfortable. The tours were took with Thompson's Africa were incredible as well. Brooke was helpful throughout the entire booking process & we wouldn't have had such an incredible experience without her. We really loved our South African holiday and hope to travel there or other locations again with Goway.Taylor

October 9, 2026, was our 50th wedding anniversary. To celebrate, I wanted to take my bride to Europe for 50 days. Also, other than the flight over, I wanted to make the trip by train. I contacted Farnaz at Goway. The trip we planned ultimately extended to 60 days. It was absolutely flawless. We had great hotels, great tours. Even though this trip was complex and had a lot of moving parts, there were no problems. Farnaz and the folks at Goway done a great job. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them on any future tripsDaniel Graff

We had a fabulous Croatia vacation with a cruise from Dubrovnik to Split, followed by land tours on Split and Opatija. Lodging was always comfortable and conveniently located. Tours and activities were perfectly suited to our interests. We have used GoWay for 2 vacations and are currently working on another. Karen
