About Ingrid

Your trusted travel companion for cruise adventures and destination planning

Introduction

Hi, I'm Ingrid

I started traveling for the love of exploration, and cruising quickly became my favorite way to see the world. Over the years, I've sailed on numerous ships, explored countless ports, and experienced everything from budget-friendly voyages to luxury cruises.

Now I share my real experiences and practical advice to help fellow travelers make confident decisions. Whether you're planning your first cruise or your twentieth trip to Europe, I'm here to help you create unforgettable travel memories.

I'm a TICO-certified travel counsellor — the certification Ontario requires of everyone who sells travel — and I book through Expedia Cruises, a TICO-registered agency.
