Tamara Ryan CTC
Co-Owner/Travel Professional tryan@destinationstravel.ca | 519-533-0502 ext 1001 I have been very lucky to spend my entire travel career here in my hometown of Woodstock. I entered the travel industry as a Junior Consultant in 1989 and I am now a very proud co-owner of Destinations Travel and Cruise Centre. My travels have taken me to some of my favourite destinations: Australia, Czech Republic, Malta, Greece, Spain, Ireland, Scotland, France, Italy and Costa Rica. I have also experienced numerous cruise lines and visited many of the Caribbean islands. I have been travelling with my children since they were only a few months old and I get such joy seeing each destination through their eyes as we experience it together. We have travelled as a family of 4 to Disney World (multiple times) & Disneyland, Mexico (Mayan Riviera, Puerto Vallarta and Huatulco) and we all enjoy the fantastic cruise ships. |

Travel Professional vannie@destinationstravel.ca | 519-533-0502 ext 1005 I’m excited to be celebrating my second anniversary with the Destinations Travel and Cruise Centre team in Woodstock. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, the customers are treated like family. I am not new to the travel industry ~ I have been in the travel business with another company for 20+ years prior to my move. I have enjoyed travelling to Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean, California, as well as numerous cruises with Carnival and Royal Caribbean Cruiseline and the Luxury Rocky Mountaineer Rail Journey which was amazing. I have dedicated some time over the years to agent training, most recently the Disney College of Knowledge, Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises Commodore and Norwegian NCL Masters Degree, Vancouver Specialist and the Rocky Mountaineer Luxury Rail Course. This summer I will be celebrating 43 years of marriage to my handsome husband Reg. We have 4 grown children (1 son, 3 daughters), 7 grandchildren(6 boys, 1 girl) as well as a 10yr old son Bradly at home. We are an active family who enjoy life, summer, travel as well as family time. Life is busy! |

Travel Professional amanda@destinationstravel.ca | 519-533-0502 ext 1004 I am a proud mom to a very active 3-year-old son. Our winters are spent mostly at the local arena complex & our summers spent by the water. This year, I'm excited to be going into my 10th year in the travel industry (9 years in retail). Before becoming a travel agent, I worked for a Canadian tour operator in the group sales department where I found & developed my niche. I love my job & I love what I do. The travel industry is one of the most rewarding industries to be a part of as it's always changing to provide new and exciting opportunities. I have been fortunate enough to have experienced some incredible destinations and it's through this career that I am able to share it with all of my friends, family & clients. My travels have taken me to Mexico & the Caribbean, Spain, France, Austria, Hungary & Italy all of which have been some of my "best trips" to date! I'm looking forward to working with new & current clients to help you find your ideal vacation experience! |

Travel Professional alice@destinationstravel.ca | 519-533-0502 ext 1006 Alice joined our Destinations team in January 2019 when our office merged with the team at Di-Namic Travel. She is looking forward most to assisting clients both past & new at her new location. Born in New Brunswick & grew up in Toronto, I have been in the travel industry since 2007 as a Travel Consultant. The best part of my job is when I see how excited my clients are when booking their dream vacations. Knowing that I was part of that is why I LOVE what I do. Not letting the grass grow between my toes, I have traveled with my husband & 3 children from one end of Canada to the other & most points in between. Trips to the USA, Disney World in Florida, beach holidays in Daytona Beach, Las Vegas & California. Europe vacations to the United Kingdom, Scotland, Amsterdam & Greece. Caribbean holidays in Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Dominican Republic, the Bahamas - and my personal favourite Caribbean island - ARUBA!" |
