An Atlanta native and enthusiastic adventurer, environmentalist, and traveller, my passion for international travel ignited when I was fortunate enough to study abroad in New Zealand in college, thanks to my family's encouragement and support. Initially, the prospect of spending months on the opposite side of the planet felt both exhilarating and unsettling. What a life-expanding experience it was! A natural paradise with a kind and down-to-earth culture, my perspective and life were forever changed. The experience offered me opportunities to explore spirituality through cultural exchange on a marae, be immersed in the natural world through field studies, and question my traditional ideas of what life should or could be. It was my gateway experience for the desire to visit new places and experience other cultures different from my own. I have immense gratitude for having visited over 30 countries since that time. I'm committed to sustainable and responsible tourism, which aims to maximize positive social, economic, and environmental impacts while minimizing negative ones for local communities and the destination.

Favourite Quote
I have many!
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness."
"At its best, travel should challenge our preconceptions and most cherished views, cause us to rethink our assumptions, shake us a bit, make us broader minded and more understanding."
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
Favourite Travel Memory
One of my most cherished memories is spending time in Minca, Colombia, with fellow graduate students focused on a sustainable tourism project. Through community engagement, extensive fieldwork, homestays, and immersion in the community, I learned about the challenges and opportunities that tourism can bring to a small community firsthand.

ExcellentBased on 5,245 ReviewsAthul 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 BreilingWe used Goway to put together an itinerary for East Africa , and Zanzibar . Everything was great and went smoothly DawnI can't tell you enough how much I love to work with Callie. She is a life saver and I love how attentive she is. Every time I give her an itinerary for a client- she really knocks it out of the park with the proposal. If there are any issues- she is on it right away. Her work ethic is outstanding.Michelle LabarcaI had the pleasure of working with Amelia on a booking for a family of 4 to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. She executed everything perfectly, was attentive to needs and the family was over the top happy with their vacation. She was quick to answer questions and provide helpful feedback. Highly recommended!Jessie WilliamsWe were trying to navigate Swiss Travel Center to book a 10 day train trip through Switzerland. It was exactly what we wanted but navigating their site was extremely difficult for us. Goway Travel picked up on our plight and put us in contact with Jacqueline Fagooli, one of their agents. From there on everything was so smooth. Their efficiency, communication, and thoroughness were beyond our expectations. The trip was fabulous and kudos to Jacqueline and Goway for their help in making it so.Carolyn McCormackThe destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years.
If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek TravelWe had a wonderful and amazing two weeks in North-West Scotland. Shoutout to Jacqueline at Goway Toronto and the driver/guides with Rabbie's minibus tours (Stefan and Willie). Well-chosen hotels and no worries with dietary requirements; every detail was taken care of. Thank you!
