Greetings!

As summer turns into fall I am happy to see that many of us are adapting to the new normal and emerging from our cocoons with a heightened appreciation for the travel opportunities that await.

Some of our intrepid clients are ready to explore the world - embarking on a trip in the next couple of weeks, having handled the new entry requirements with great aplomb.
No-one is more excited than my 90-year young client and his partner, who are leaving on their long-awaited trip to Europe next week. They write:
"Finally, our trip to Europe is going to happen! The pandemic played havoc with our original travel plans, and luckily we had the dedicated services of Christine of TravelBoecker Adventures to advocate for us.

Not only did she rebook all the elements of our amazing holiday, Christine also arranged a complimentary upgrade on our river cruise ship and then guided us through the ever-changing entry protocols of the various countries.
The paperwork can be daunting, but Christine has been there for us through all the preparations. The info regarding our trip is superb, that is a lot of work and it is much appreciated. Five “sleeps” to go!" Barb & Gil

Now that's encouraging - don't you agree? We wish them a fabulous vacation!
Latest Travel Inspirations:
Africa > a Thousand Star Safari

Stay for 6 nights and pay for 4 when exploring two great unspoiled wildlife meccas of Tanzania.
Discover Ruaha and Nyerere, where elephants can be spotted in large herds and predators – lions, leopard, wild dog and hyena, roam the great plains of Tanzania’s southern national parks – almost 50% larger than the Serengeti, with only 1/10th of the visitors.
Explore these fascinatingly diverse eco-systems in open safari vehicles, get out on foot or by boat, go fishing, relax in hot springs and fall asleep under a blanket of thousands of stars in the vast African sky!
Galivanting in the Galápagos

Ready to snorkel with sea lions, hike among giant tortoises, and get up close with blue-footed boobies? The Galápagos Islands have been welcoming visitors since June 2020 and almost 100% of the residents are fully vaccinated.
A return to pure nature is clearly just what the doctor ordered. So, end this year—or start the next—with a spirit-lifting adventure in the tranquility of wildness.
Our How-To Guide offers an overview of the wildlife, climate and trip options in these enchanted isles.
Merzouga Desert
Morocco > Rocking the Kasbah
With fall just around the corner, now is the perfect time to experience the best of Morocco, like the architecture in Fez, an authentic cooking class in the High Atlas, and savouring balmy autumn nights in the golden Sahara desert.
Morocco is open to visitors, so whatever your interests, let me tailor-make your Moroccan adventure.
Polar Bear Migration Safari
Join our exclusive Polar Bear Safari for the rare opportunity to see the annual polar bear migration in Manitoba's Hudson Bay.
Get up close to one of the world's most magnificent and dangerous predators from behind an unobtrusive electric fence.

ONLY 6 SEATS LEFT FOR 2021. Will you be 1 of 6?

TRΛVELBOECKER Insider Tips
Where to first?
Check out Air Canada's Travel Ready Hub, a practical guide to help you understand the new travel requirements.
The site includes an interactive map, showing the countries that are open to visitors.
Be prepared.
I would wager that your passport has not seen the light of day in a while and may have even expired by now.
My recommendation is to renew your passport now and get ahead of the rush.
Get the shot.
One of the positive effects of this pandemic is that Yellow Fever immunizations are back in stock after years of world-wide shortages.
So, if your wish list includes an East African Safari or a Gorilla Trek some time in the next decade, I recommend you get your Yellow Fever shot now since it lasts for 10 years.
What's next?
Personally, I am planning to revisit the Galápagos Islands in the foreseeable future and I couldn't be more excited about the promise of a trip after such a long travel draught.

As the saying goes - “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.” 

If you want to explore some travel ideas - even if it still a little while off - then let's set up a Discovery Call.
I would be happy to help you brainstorm about your next adventure.

Yours in Travel,
