About Us

Local experiences from local guides

I have always believed that the most meaningful travel experiences are found in the unexpected. In my own journeys, the moments that stayed with me were not in the places the crowds of travellers were going. They were in the conversations shared with makers, the quiet awe of a vineyard at sunset, and the joy of discovering a hidden gem through local eyes.

I created A 1000 Ways in my hometown of Brockville, Ontario to share that same sense of connection in South Eastern Ontario. Every tour is rooted in the belief that small businesses, artisans, and local producers deserve the spotlight. They are the heart of this region, and meeting them gives travellers a true sense of what South Eastern Ontario is all about.

A 1000 Ways is more than a collection of tours. It is a reflection of my love for this region and my desire to share it in a way that feels genuine and personal. As your guide, my goal is to create moments of discovery and connection that you will carry with you long after the journey ends.
