Jennifer Gore
I was born in Vulcan, AB. but I was raised in many countries as my family travelled the world on business, and I am sure this is where and how my love of travel blossomed. I studied Travel and Tourism at The Career College in Calgary, and after graduating, I lived in Paris, France for a year and studied the French language. I worked in travel until I had my family of 3 boys and I spent the next few years raising them and enjoying most weekends at sporting events. Because of this, I now specialize in escorting groups to sporting events in North America. I love planning trips of all kinds, and as I have been fortunate enough to travel this world, I have extensive knowledge of many destinations.
I'm looking forward to assisting you with your vacation whether it's your
Dream Vacation or a Quick Getaway.

Val Umscheid
I was born in England and moved to Canada in 1975 - partly due to an affliction called 'wanderlust'. I am the owner of Global Getaways in Claresholm, AB where I currently reside. I studied Travel and Tourism in 1993/94 and since then I have been fortunate enough to have continued being a part of the Travel Industry. I owned my own agency for six years, during which time I designed and escorted tours to many destinations before 'retiring'. I am thrilled to once again to own and operate my own agency Global Getaways! I have visited numerous areas of the world, and various destinations in Canada and the U.S., and I look forward to sharing this information with others who also have the desire to travel. Allow Global Getaways to plan your next adventure and I personally guarantee you only the very best of service

I was born and raised in Vulcan, AB, where I currently reside on the farm with my husband. I studied Travel and Tourism at The Career College in Calgary in 1988/89. My passion for travel has led me back into the industry and working with lifelong friend Val Umscheid.
I have been fortunate enough to have visited Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Australia as well as many destinations in the U.S. and Canada. My lifelong dream adventure came true in 2018 with 21 days in four African countries - Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa and was simply life changing! I love to learn about the world’s fascinating destinations and have become a DESTINATION SPECIALIST in AFRICA, HAWAIIi, SWITZERLAND, VIKING RIVER CRUISES and many more. It’s a big world with a lot of exciting places to experience and I look forward to exploring it all!
I have always been fascinated with travelling and I love planning trips! I'm looking forward to assisting you with your vacation whether it's your Dream Vacation or a Quick Getaway!

Rene Peregil
Hi, my name is Ireneo Peregil, and I was born and grew up in the beautiful country, of the Philippines and moved to Canada during my adult year. My friends call me Rene. I studied Travel Tourism at CDI College in Calgary, Alberta, and I graduated in 2018. I decided to switch careers from engineering to Travel and Tourism for the reasons that I am very much interested in travel, and want to learn and get familiarized on all of the beautiful places that people and friends alike, would love to visit and travel to. I also would like to get to know the many countries that people wish to travel around the world, and to be able to help/assist the many families, friends, and clients, with all of their travel needs (family vacation, adventure trips, cruises, travel packages, etc.) wherever that maybe. I am very glad that I made the choice to become a part of the growing Travel Industry.
I look forward to assisting you with your next Vacation, whether it’s your
Dream vacation, or a Quick Getaway.

Debrah Schiller
I was born and raised in a small Southern Alberta Farming community. I have been an Administrator in Planning/Scheduling for over 20 years, with my love of travel sitting on the side. I decided in 2016, to combine my two passions, thus beginning my journey, as a Travel Specialist. I have a passion for History and Culture, which enabled me to plan and organize an itinerary to Europe, following the footsteps, not only of my Grandfather, but of many men and women. I am also fascinated by the Liberation Route throughout Europe. I have explored many of the Caribbean Islands. This is what lead me to obtain my JAMAICA TRAVEL SPECIALIST CERTIFICATE in 2018. I have an insatiable need to explore the majestic wonders throughout the globe. I love sharing my knowledge and planning vacations, whether it’s a Girls Retreat Vacation, Family Getaway, Guided Tour Trip or an
Adult Only Adventure
I look forward to assisting you with your next Vacation, whether it’s your
Dream vacation, or a Quick Getaway.
