The Power of Travel: Inside G Adventures’ GX with Dre Giroux

Saison 1 · Épisode 12

mercredi 2 septembre 2026 • Durée 26:57

What does it take to bring hundreds of people from across the travel industry together in one destination and make sure their presence leaves something meaningful behind?

In Episode 12 of You Came to the Right Place, Natasha and Jen sit down with Dre Giroux, Director of Global Community Operations at G Adventures and one of the driving forces behind GX, the company’s annual community tourism summit.

With GX Cambodia just around the corner, Dre takes us behind the scenes of an event that requires a full year of planning, a small-but-mighty team and, apparently, a truly heroic number of spreadsheets.

Dre reflects on the moments that have stayed with her from past GX events, why she believes travel builds empathy, what excites her most about this year’s destination and why sometimes the best travel advice is simply to “lean into it.”

And in the Rapid Fire Five: Jordan, a travelling pharmacy, Taylor Swift almost makes an appearance, Wonderwall refuses to die, and we learn why Dre was once cut out of an outfit with a chef’s knife.

It’s a conversation about the enormous amount of work that happens behind the scenes of transformational travel and the people and communities who make it matter.

Small Group, Big Adventure: Collette’s Christian Leibl-Cote on the Changing Face of Guided Travel

Saison 1 · Épisode 11

mardi 18 août 2026 • Durée 26:50

Guided touring isn’t what it used to be — and neither is the Canadian traveller.

In Episode 11 of You Came to the Right Place, Natasha Lair and Jen Mallia sit down with Christian Leibl-Cote, Executive Vice President of Global Business at Collette, to talk about how guided travel is evolving and what travel advisors need to know about the changing expectations of their clients.

Christian shares why Canadians are travelling longer, spending more and venturing beyond traditional favourites to destinations across Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. He also digs into the growing demand for small-group travel, immersive local experiences and off-season departures — and why more than 20% of Collette’s travellers are now travelling solo.

The conversation also tackles overtourism, sustainability, AI and the enduring value of human connection. For advisors, Christian offers practical advice for growing guided-tour business and explains why experiencing the product firsthand can make all the difference.

Plus, in the Pulse Check, Christian shares the travel memories he hopes his kids will carry for life — including one unforgettable night with a hippo outside their tent in the Serengeti.

Three Generations, One Itinerary: Parenting Expert Kathy Buckworth on Selling Multi-Gen Travel

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

mardi 28 avril 2026 • Durée 22:39

In Episode 4 of You Came to the Right Place, co-hosts Natasha Lair and Jen Mallia sit down with Canadian media personality, travel writer, and parenting expert Kathy Buckworth to unpack one of the biggest trends advisors are navigating right now: multi-generational travel.

Fresh off a trip to Club Med in the Dominican Republic, Buckworth shares what really happens when you put three generations on one vacation—from car seats on planes to splitting suitcases with diapers and formula. The conversation dives into the logistics advisors don’t always see, the emotional dynamics at play, and why destination familiarity matters.

“Who needs more naps—granddad or the baby?”

Buckworth brings real credibility, and this is not another fluffy “multi-gen travel is trending” conversation—it’s what actually happens when you put grandparents, adult kids, and toddlers on one trip (tantrums, logistics, exhaustion), alongside practical takeaways advisors can use.

In Episode Three of You Came to the Right Place, hosts Natasha and Jen sit down with Johanna “Joey” Silver, a travel consultant with Expedia Cruises in St. Albert, Alberta.

With more than eight years in the industry, Joey shares how she found her niche in curated, experience-driven travel, and why those “from-scratch” itineraries are where she thrives. She talks about the growing demand for immersive travel, the rise of set-jetting (yes, Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings fans, this one’s for you), and how advisors can turn one-time bookings into long-term relationships built on trust.

From client anxiety around global travel to shifting booking behaviours, Joey offers insight on navigating uncertainty and why transparency and realistic expectations matter more than ever.

Plus, in this episode’s Pulse Check, Joey weighs in on underrated trends, red-eye flights, and why “Eye of the Tiger” might just be the unofficial anthem of Canadian travel.
