Ayesha Colquhoun

As a child I lived on a big bus and on a sailboat and had travelled around the world before I was five years old. After high school I worked two jobs every day to save enough money to take several months at time a off work to travel. I first hit the road and took the train across Canada. Since then I've travelled across Canada three times. I've made my way from Alaska down to Mexico. A year after that I was backpacking around Europe for three months, then home to work, save, and buy another plane ticket. I repeated this many times over the next 10 plus years. This included trips to Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji for three months, then all through Central America for five months, then all through Southeast Asia for five months, then onto Southern Africa for three months hitchhiking where I fell in love with Africa. I realized that this was my way of life and it was all self funded, but I didn't want to keep working two jobs. That's when I decided to get into the travel industry 18 years ago. Since working in the industry I have further explored and elevated my experiences visiting Egypt, soaked up the sun in the Philippines, lived like royalty in India, stayed in the most luxurious lodges in South Africa, Botswana, Uganda and Rwanda spending time with two gorilla families, hiked to the lost city in the Columbian jungle, travelled around Peru, hiked the W Circuit in Patagonia, Chile, celebrated birthdays in Israel & Jordan, spend the week working in the stunning landscape of Argentina, Ecuador and Galapagos and most recently did a self drive family trip all through Turkey.

I had travelled around the world by the age of 5

Harpreet Litt provided us with a rich experience for our week. She offered good choices for local tour companies. We had a very good guide in Osaka. She is an Osaka resident with good English skills. She took extra pains to include opportunities we requested Osaka was a beautiful city at night. My photos of restaurants and street food were colorful and fun. Food was good too.Noel Chrisman

1186952 trip reference - Croatia and Montenegro. Dear Goway Travel Team! I wanted to reach out and share some well-deserved praise for Jacqueline, who has assisted me closely with several of my travels. She recently curated a trip for me to Croatia, the beautiful islands, and Montenegro, and it was an absolute home run. Jacqueline has an incredible ability to listen to her clients' needs and translate them perfectly into a flawless itinerary. Her articulation, guideline execution, and professionalism are unmatched. What sets her apart is her forward-thinking approach—she always knows the exact hotspots and trends, ensuring the pace of the trip matches my speed perfectly. Everything transitioned seamlessly thanks to her attention to detail and care. She is a massive asset to your organization, and her consideration makes every vacation stress-free. I will absolutely continue to use her for all my future travels. Kindest regards, Vince Sacco Vince Sacco

I have worked with Goway several times in the past two years and every single trip has been unforgettable. Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime! Kayla Covello

I have been booking with GoWay for more than 2 years and feel so fortunate to have the best Travel Advisor, Maria Spitman, making our vacations unforgettable. I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. Darleen
