I discovered my love for travel and creating unforgettable experiences while working out west at iconic Canadian destinations—Tofino, Whistler, Jasper—where I realized how thrilling it is to help people truly connect with a place. Now living back in Ontario, I’ve come to appreciate the beauty of where I come from and the importance of exploring your own backyard. Whether backpacking across new countries or uncovering hidden gems closer to home, I love helping people craft journeys that immerse them in local culture and spark moments they’ll never forget. Travel makes me feel alive, and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing others experience that same sense of wonder and excitement.

I love exploring local drinks and cuisine when I travel—it’s such a unique way to experience culture. My family has been in the beer industry all my life, and I’ve recently completed my Level 2 WSET in wine. In fact, I just did a Scotch whisky tasting in Scotland—maybe spirits will be the next thing I learn! Having an appreciation and understanding of what goes into each drink makes the place even more special, and you learn so much about the country you’re in as well.

"Travel isn't about finding new places - it's about finding new pieces of yourself in them."

My favourite travel memory is backpacking across New Zealand with my best friend after graduating from university. It was a destination that once felt out of reach, but booking those flights marked the start of an unforgettable adventure. We met incredible people from around the world, shared stories, and explored some of the most stunning landscapes I’ve ever seen. Skydiving over Abel Tasman pushed me far outside my comfort zone, while a helicopter ride to the Franz Josef Glacier made the world feel so much bigger and more connected. That journey reminded me of the value of embracing new experiences and how transformative stepping into the unknown can be!

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

Lori Mezzomo and the team at Goway Travel are fantastic! Lori helped plan a 3-week Australia trip for our family of 5. Our teenage boys enjoyed exploring Sydney, Uluru, Cairns and the Gold Coast. Highlights included a Sydney Harbour Bridge walk, sunrise hike around Uluru, snorkeling with turtles on the Great Barrier Reef, and surfing on the gold coast. Lori did a fantastic job of creating an itinerary that was engaging for our teenage boys and relaxing for the parents... not an easy task! We miss Australia and would gladly book again with Lori Mezzomo and Goway Travel.Blair

Michael at Goway Travel was great to work with. We were planning a pre-trip with him prior to a group tour. He worked with us to hit the special places we wanted to visit and things we wanted to do. The accommodations arranged exceeded our expectations. Local guides were all amazing. This was the third trip we booked through Goway, and we will definitely book with them again in the future David Picka
