PinTravel | About Us

Here at PinTravel, we want to redefine the way you travel. Whether you set out to discover a "hidden treasure" spot a short distance from your home or want to go to the other side of the planet, we want your experience with us to be as unique and special as the places and people you share it with.

Our focus is to provide you with a personalized travel experience tailored to your preferences and interests. Once in a while, we will also suggest activities to encourage your sense of exploration and adventure. Most of all, we want you to have fun and create unforgettable memories to cherish.

History

Though we are a young company born out of the want and need to travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, the idea of redefining travel tailored to you has been on our founder’s mind for a long time. While working in one of Dubai’s most trusted travel agencies, she specialized in helping visitors make their trip memorable irrespective of their budget. From shopping tours immersing visitors in Dubai's bustling gold market to creating exclusive packages for VIP clients, she was always able to find unique experiences custom-fit to a person's interests and preferences.

Whether you are interested in history, arts, new cuisines or just want to explore a place you have never been to before, we have something to fit your interests. In addition, our founder loves the outdoors and can share more than a few stories about tripping in the Siberian wilderness or thewhite waters of mountain rivers in southern Russia. Since settling in Canada 20 years ago, she continues exploring her own home province of Ontario as well as the rest of Canada from the West Coast’s magnificent Rockies to the East Coast’s beautiful Cape Breton and the easternmost tip of Cape Spear, Newfoundland.

From one day outings exploring nearby towns to multi-week road trips, we have a trip for you! We will work with you to design your custom route and plan fun activities along the way. Give it a try and we look forward to you coming back for more!

Our Philosophy

Environment

As citizens of our planet, it’s our responsibility to make sure that we leave a livable planet for ourselves and future generations. Therefore, we are making efforts to partner with companies that protect the environment and whose philosophies align with ours by keeping sustainability practices at the forefront of everything they do.

Culture

We believe in connecting and finding things we all have in common, while learning about and respecting the things that make us unique. We think that openness and willingness to learn leads to better understanding and personal connection between people and nations. Our common appreciation for the beauty of human accomplishment, natural wonders, history, art, music, food, and the need for a safe environment to raise the future generation brings us together and is well worth exploring.

Health and Safety

We are committed to making sure that your travel experience is fun and full of safe exploration, however it’s hard to predict all that adventure and nature can throw at us. Though we make a continuous effort to monitor health and safety situations at the destinations you’re going to, it is always changing. Therefore, we urge you to check and follow location-specific government and health officials’ directions to make sure that you and your trip companions are safe.

Supporting Local Communities

We all rely on energy, commitment and support of the local communities at the destination you’re travelling to sustain their unique history, culture and environment we love to explore so much. We want it to be there for the next generation of explorers, therefore we are committed to contributing 10% of PinTravel’s after tax income to support the local community you picked for your trip. By selecting us to help you, you’re also supporting the communities you care about!

Special Needs

At PinTravel.ca we are committed to enabling everyone to become an explorer irrespective of your situation and abilities. Please let us know if you need any special accommodations and we will do our best to find options that work for you. At the same time, we encourage you to follow the direction of your responsible medical professional and/or caregiver(s) to make wise choices that do not put your health and well-being in jeopardy.

Spiritual Needs

Looking for a special spot to meditate or practice your favorite yoga pose? We are aware of your need in having spiritually-reach experiences while away from home and, if you let us know about your preferences, we will do our best to build them into your trip.

Hotels, Camping Sites, Attractions and Tour Bookings

We recognize the fact that there are a lot of websites and apps to help you book your accommodation and tickets. We are not targeting to compete with elaborated technology that helps one to find the best deal. However, we can help you with booking so long as you share your preferences with us and pay booking fees. As much as we would like to provide you with the best possible experience, we can not guarantee the perfect match and will be guided by availability and requirements you communicate to us.

Thank you for choosing PinTravel.ca! We are always looking for the ways to improve your next experience. Please let us know what worked for you and what are the things we can do better next time.
