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!

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
