Who's Planning Your Trip
Hi, I'm Manuela
Twenty years across travel agencies, tour operators and hotels in Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Malta taught me what actually makes a trip feel right. Canvas Travel Club is me putting that experience to work for you, one trip at a time.

What does a travel advisor do?
A travel advisor helps you plan and organize your trip based on your preferences, budget and travel style. From choosing destinations and hotels to creating itineraries and finding experiences, the goal is to make the planning process easier and more personal.
How much does it cost?
Your first consultation is 100% free. There is no obligation to book anything. If you find my advice helpful and would like to support Canvas, you can always buy me a coffee.
Why should I use a travel advisor instead of booking everything myself?
Online booking gives you endless options, but having more choice doesn't always make planning easier. A travel advisor can help you narrow down those options, save time and create a trip that fits your specific interests rather than simply following the most popular recommendations.
Can you create a completely personalized itinerary?
Yes. Every trip can be tailored to your preferences, including destinations, accommodation, activities, restaurants, transportation and the pace of the journey. Whether you prefer a relaxed holiday or a trip packed with experiences, the itinerary can be designed around you.
Do you only plan holidays to specific destinations?
No. Canvas Travel Club is destination-independent. I can help you explore different destinations and build a journey based on what you want to experience, whether that's a city break, a beach holiday, a road trip, a cultural journey or a multi-destination adventure.
