Europe

Wendy O'Connell

I am a Northern Europe Destination Specialist with a lifelong love of travel and more than two decades in the travel industry, having turned a personal passion into a fulfilling career since 1999. What began as a curiosity for exploring the world has grown into deep expertise, particularly across Northern Europe—its cultures, landscapes, history, and hidden gems. Drawing on years of hands-on experience and industry knowledge, I create thoughtful, seamless travel experiences that go beyond the ordinary. Travel isn’t just my profession; it’s who I am, and I take pride in helping others discover destinations in ways that are meaningful, memorable, and truly personal.

Fun Facts

The day I received my acceptance into the travel program, we celebrated at a Chinese restaurant, where they hand write their fortune cookies. My fortune read "You will walk on the soil of many lands."

Favourite Travel Memory

My favourite travel memory is not my travel experience, but that of one of my clients. I booked him to Africa many years ago and the airline forgot to validate one of his domestic flights. He called me at home and I spoke to the Goway rep and they drove him to his next destination. I was a Goway fan since then and now I work for them. This client became a friend and we have known each other since he became my very first repeat client back in 1999.
