I was born in Belarus, and my first overseas adventure came at the age of 13 when my family relocated to India due to my dad's job. During our two-year stay, I immersed myself in the local culture by attending a nearby school and quickly fell in love with the enchanting and diverse facets of this incredible country. Exploring the wonders of India sparked a deep-seated dream within me, one that yearned to experience the world beyond its borders. Fast forward to today, and I couldn't be more delighted to call Canada my home. Here, I've found not only a place of residence but a platform to make my dream come true. My career has taken me to some of the most breathtaking destinations in the South Pacific and Asia. What's more, it allows me to share my passion, knowledge, and expertise with clients, helping them craft journeys that become memories of a lifetime. I consider it a privilege to blend my love for travel with my professional life, making each trip a unique and unforgettable adventure for those I have the pleasure to serve. Join me on this journey of discovery, as we explore the world's wonders, one destination at a time.

Fun Facts
Fun Fact about Australia: Australia is home to the world's longest fence, known as the "Dingo Fence" or "Dog Fence." Stretching over 5,600 kilometers (3,480 miles) across the continent, it was originally built in the 1880s to keep dingoes (wild dogs) away from fertile land in the southeastern part of the country. This incredible barrier is longer than the Great Wall of China and is a testament to Australia's unique challenges and innovative solutions to its diverse wildlife.

Favourite Travel Memory
Sleeping under the stars on the Great Barrier Reef was a transformative experience, a profound encounter with nature's grandeur. It's a memory I cherish, a reminder of the vastness and beauty of our world, and the importance of preserving such natural wonders for future generations. This adventure reminded me that sometimes, the most extraordinary experiences happen when we simply lie back and let the universe reveal its magic
ExcellentBased on 5,251 ReviewsVery nice!🥰😘💙❤️🇪🇸🇭🇷Andrea MarićWe 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 MaysWhat 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 SullivanAndrea Paredes helped me plan a last minute Colombia trip for my clients who had never been! They loved every minute of it. The hotels, history, excursions, and flights went very smooth. They were so happy with all their tour guides. Deanna Frisbie BorregoMy 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.FestusI'm a new travel agent and used Goway to help plan a group trip to the UK. Ani, from Goway was so great! She was very detailed oriented, she had great communication and was very thorough in the planning. I felt confident that my clients would be taken care of. My clients had an amazing trip and loved all of it! SieKyeAthul Ajay was our travel agent and he was excellent from the beginning to the end of planning our trip. Great at communicating and replying back too. Sabrina GaffoglioIsabella Luu made the arrangements for our trip to Scotland and all aspects of the trip and stay were excellent. Our assistance at the airports were very good as all were alerted to our needs. Our ride services were excellent. Isabella was always available to answer any questions that we had in a knowledgable and prompt manner, which is always very important to me.Audrey HenryHad 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 PrestonWe 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
