Meet Shean
Meet Shean, Operations Manager. A member of the Canadian travel industry for nearly 25 years. Starting in the industry as a travel agent through the new agent program at Flight Centre, Shean earned Top Newie Award in his first year and quickly moved from counselor to agency manager.

Tania Hung
Manager of Training & Development
Meet Tania
Meet Tania – Manager of Training & Development. A lifelong learner, she believes travelling the world is the best type of immersive education. Her curiosity for learning has her always adventuring in each destination she visits. Embracing new cultures, ethnic foods, unknown languages and stepping outside her comfort zone excites her! One notable moment stands out in Sri Lanka: she was passing by a bustling restaurant, filled with locals enjoying eachothers company. Despite a language barrier, she fearlessly embraced the situation, pulling up a chair at their communal table and asking for recommendations. With shared food and heartfelt laughter, they proved that genuine connections can be formed even in the absence of a common language.
Tania started her career in travel as a Travel Advisor and kept developing her skills and knowledge to move onto other positions such as Quality Assurance and Coaching, obtaining in-depth knowledge of management operations and leadership development.
With over a decade of experience in successfully directing and leading new and existing training programs for travel services, she finds her biggest motivation in supporting learners to develop their potential and cultivate the right skills to grow their careers.
Her favorite quote: “ Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living’ ~ Miriam Beard
