Travel & Logistics
Preferred Airport

Victoria (YYJ) or Vancouver (YVR), whichever is more convenient for the booking.

Flights

Economy is fine for most routes. Open to discussing upgrades for long-haul or overnight travel, but not a requirement.

Arrival Timing

Same-day arrival works well for afternoon or evening events. Night-before arrival appreciated for early-morning keynotes, with flexibility based on schedule.

Ground Transport & Hotel

Standard arrangements are great; no special requests.

Booking & Invoicing

Happy for the agency to book and pay directly, or to book and invoice, whichever is easiest.

International Travel

Travels internationally for U.S. bookings, so standard lead time is needed for border logistics. Nothing unusual to plan around.
