Christopher Forbes
(he/him)
I was born in Windsor, Nova Scotia and moved to Alberta in 1986 - where I was raised. I recently moved back to Nova Scotia, after a 5-year stopover in Toronto. In 2022, my mum decided to retire from operating the travel agency and we began the transition into me being the new owner / operator of Global Getaways. She is still a big part of the business, and you may even see her coming along with us on some of our escorted tours!
I have worked in the Travel Industry for nearly 20 years in many capacities, including a travel wholesale company, an airline, and as a travel agent. I am fortunate enough to have travelled much of North America, Europe, The Caribbean and to have spent a little time in South America and Asia. I am passionate about the history of the world and the different cultures this planet has to offer, so I look forward to seeing as much of the globe as possible.
Let me help you discover all there is to see out there, or maybe take you along with me on one of my many adventures.
I look forward to assisting you with your next vacation, whether it's a weekend getaway, a beach retreat or a trip of a lifetime!

Val Umscheid
I was born in England and moved to Canada in 1975 - partly due to an affliction called 'wanderlust'. 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. For most of my career, I designed and escorted tours to many destinations, and now I have decided to retire and let the team continue to make your ‘travel dreams’ come true. I am thrilled to be transferring ownership of Global Getaways to my step son, Chris. I have visited numerous areas of the world, and various destinations in Canada and the U.S., and I hope to continue travelling, and enjoying this amazing planet.
Allow global getaways to plan your next adventure, and I personally guarantee you only the very best of service.

Jan Loree Hurl
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 am 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 it was simply life changing! I love to learn about the world’s fascinating destinations and have become a DESTINATION SPECIALIST in AFRICA, HAWAII, 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 look forward to assisting you with your next vacation, whether it's a weekend getaway, a beach retreat or a trip of a lifetime!

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 look forward to assisting you with your next vacation, whether it's a weekend getaway, a beach retreat or a trip of a lifetime!

Hi! I was born in Toronto, raised on the Prairies, and lived 10 years of my adult life overseas in Syria, Pakistan, Abu Dhabi & Dubai. I then moved to Calgary and now have come full circle and reside back in southeastern Saskatchewan. I love the prairies! I studied travel at Westervelt Travel in London, Ontario and then again in Abu Dhabi. I've been in the industry since the early eighties. I have done extensive travelling throughout Europe, Asia, the UK, India, Middle East, Australia, Fiji, Maldives, Mexico and the Caribbean. I would love to help you plan a trip in our own glorious country or anywhere your heart desires. I am here to help you design and create the perfect holiday!

Greetings!
I am Janet Anderson, a Certified Travel Consultant, working as a Travel and Destination Specialist with Global Getaways.
Growing up in Moose Jaw, SK, I was bitten by the travel bug at an early age. I have had the great experience of living in Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper working in the hospitality industry for over 25 years. When I returned to Moose Jaw, I embarked on a new direction in the travel industry and haven't looked back...
Having worked for three of the nation's largest retail agencies, I stepped out on my own in 2014 and now work independently from home. I have been in the 'biz' now for almost thirty years and draw on not only my personal experience but also on the feedback of others, both professional and clients. I have been fortunate to have travelled around the world and draw a lot from those adventures. With today's busy lifestyle and the wild world of internet companies, we need the guidance and expertise of a professional. I do a lot of group travel including my annual Sunshine Search, Girlz Getaway and hope to resume my currently suspended ‘Shopping’ trip in Beijing and Shanghai as well as my Discover Ireland semi-annual groups. Stay tuned for this years amazing plans.
I would love to assist you in all your vacation plans and make your dream a reality.
