AshleyT's profile

I’ve called Toronto home for five years, dabbling a bit in the arts sector while I figure out what I really want to do. My first Contiki last year changed my life. It was my first time traveling alone, I met a ton of new people from all over the world that I now consider to be some of my best friends. It also helped focus my career aspirations. I just got my diploma in travel and tourism, and I hope to start a career in “the biz” in the near future, either as a travel agent, tour guide, or concierge. Or even all three over time, who knows where you’ll find me next …

My first tour was Scandinavia in June 2007. I loved it so much, I booked a second one within weeks of my return home, this time to New Zealand in January 2008. I’m now I’m putting together plans for my third tour, Egypt in January 2009. You can find detailed reviews of my tours in the travelogue sections of the forums.

Other than traveling, my passions include movies, theatre, creative writing, and baseball. My all-time favourite destinations so far are (Contiki) Andalsnes, Norway, and (non-Contiki) Perth, Australia.
