Travel agent and owner

Philippe Larose Desmarais

I came to the agency 23 years ago for a temporary job: my father had asked me to help him sort papers, and I never left. Travel, though, had started long before, in Morocco, with my parents. I was five; it's one of my oldest memories.

Today, what I enjoy most is building tailor-made itineraries and helping young people plan their first all-inclusive. I have a soft spot for Asia, and if there's one country I recommend to everyone, it's Japan, to see at least once in a lifetime.

My advice before every trip: embrace the unexpected, it's often what you remember the longest. And when my clients come back, they don't just tell me about their trip: they say thank you. That's why I do this work.
