hello!

I’m Onanta Forbes and travel defines who I am. It has influenced me with wanderlust, in fashion, and with food. It has heightened my senses, tested my character, and deepened friendships.

I have been a part of the travel industry since 1985 starting as a travel consultant, to travel agency leader, and travel expert featured in print, TV, radio, and social media.

Born in Jamaica, emigrated to Canada in 1969, specializing in cruise travel, luxury travel, and destination celebrations. My goal is to combine luxury and rich cultural engagement.

I like everything about travel from planning the trip, to the excitement of going to the airport to touchdown where I can explore and embrace the destination(s). I love the colour of travel, the memories I create, the experiences I get to try, and dreaming about my next trip.  

I have a deep passion and find joy in travel, food, and fashion which I look forward to sharing with fellow explorers.

Set on the Grenzchopf, a mountain in the Appenzell Alps, this house with a view (to say the least) was built in typical Swiss style. What a spectacular place to visit! #Grenzchopf #AppenzellAlps #SwitzerlandStyleHouse #SpectacularViews ... See MoreSee Less
