HOOKED Alcohol-Free Travel

My name is Darci,  I was literally born into the travel industry! My mother was a travel agent making some of my earliest memories looking at beautiful pictures in travel brochures while spinning the globe in her office to see where my finger landed. Once the spin was complete fate had determined my new bucket list destination and the research began. 

When I turned 21 I Contiki travelled Europe from London to Greece. It was an awesome adventure I think??? Heck I was drinking… my soul focus was to see the sights at night and I can tell you this all the bars looked the same. Upon graduating from University with an Early Childhood Education diploma I quickly hopped on a plane to Hong Kong and taught there for 6 years!  At 30 years old I moved back to Canada and had the sole purpose of having matching cutlery… life in Hong Kong was very transient and the party needed to end. I wanted to establish roots. I got the cutlery, the house with the white picket fence and soon followed 4 beautiful boys.

In December of 2017 I gave up alcohol for good. It had turned into a coping mechanism for me that I no longer needed. I gratefully found the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous and found the people in these rooms, and their stories instrumental to my development. Self discovery became my purpose. I had reached the end of my self destructive journey and wanted to be the best possible version of me. I became a sponge for Brene Brown, Tony Robbins, Russel Brandt, Mel Robbins, Glennon Doyle, Melody Beattie and Robin Sharma. Letting go of alcohol increased my passion for travel and for my now career as a travel agent! My level of appreciation for different cultures, flavors, landscapes, people, ceremonies was heightened and my desire to create optimal travel experiences for my clients purposeful. I honestly feel I have one of the most important jobs in the world helping people create memories.  

Living sober is all about self-discovery… HOOKED is simply the perfect marriage between sober living, self-discovery, healthy habits and purpose.
