Cruising the  Mekong River in 2019
Cruising the Mekong River in 2019

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to explore and discover the world. Once I began to realize my dream, I also made it a lifelong goal to devote myself to providing exceptional experiences for clients. I have been in the travel industry for over 40 years and opened my own agency, Migrations Travel and Cruises, in Caledon in 1994.

Each time I start the planning process with you, I listen to the type of experience you are looking for. It is key to me to understand how you want to travel, what matters to you, and your planned budget, so that the experience is personal and exceptional. I treat each project with the care I would expect if I were travelling, and strive to make your experience as close to perfection as possible by maintaining my commitment to service before, during and after your getaway.

The sun drenched beaches of the Caribbean, the varying forests of Costa Rica, the Savannas of Africa, Italy's Tuscan countryside, and the streets of Seville, Spain are just a few of my favorite destinations. While there are still some countries I have yet to discover, I have travelled to all corners of the globe, and am continually researching remote destinations to expand my horizons so that I can make new and exciting recommendations for clients who might be looking for the road less travelled.

Let me help you realize your travel dreams. I am excited already and can't wait to meet you!

Japan with a 15 year old!
I have worked with Helga for many years and on some very complicated itineraries that required many hours of research and commitment. She has come up with extraordinary tour guides, hotels and restaurant tips.

Eastern Europe
The relationship with Helga Omstead has been outstanding. I and my team of 15 consultants travel all over the world. Helga provides our exclusive travel services - always with professional and personal service. During the Iceland volcano, we had 9 consultants working in Ukraine, Serbia, Bulgaria, Azerbaijan, Montenegro and Romania. Helga worked through the air travel disruptions, and was available 24 hours a day to make myriad travel and accommodation changes to get us all home. We appreciate her dedication, compassion and professionalism.
