hello!

I’m Onanta Forbes — and travel defines who I am. Travel has shaped my life with wanderlust, inspired my sense of style, and influenced my love of food. It has heightened my senses, tested my character, and deepened my friendships.

Born in Jamaica and raised in Canada, I specialize in cruise travel, luxury travel, and destination celebrations, crafting journeys that blend luxury with authentic cultural connection.

Kim/Wanda/Connie

The trip was fantastic; you did a wonderful job organizing it. The trains and the hotels were walking distances, and it was great. It was wonderful to get to the train stations, and our seats were pre booked. During the tours we just walked pass the long lines of people waiting to get into the sites. 😊. The tours were very informative and interesting. The ladies spoke English very well and my husband and I enjoyed talking to them later in Italian.
