A passion for travel and a desire to help others fulfill their travel dreams prompted Cathy Wiechnik CTC to open her travel agency in her home town of Consort, Alberta. Since 2008 she has owned and operated a full service, accredited and licensed home-based travel agency.
Wiechnik is a Certified Travel Counselor (CTC) with the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies (ACTA). She has held this designation since 2010, following a course of professional development consisting of attendance at seminars and workshops, the acquisition of industry experience and the receipt of a passing grade on the National Travel Industry Standards Examination.
Specialist training, workshops, and agent familiarization trips keep Wiechnik current in the ever- changing travel industry. But, she feels it is her personal travel to destinations all over the globe that truly enable her to put together unique, out of the box travel experiences for her clients. Europe, Southeast Asia, India, China, Mexico, the Caribbean, French Polynesia, New York City, Hawaii, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Nashville, Anaheim and Orlando are just some of the destinations she has explored and enjoyed first hand.
Customer Service is Wiechnik’s number one priority. Whether it’s a business trip, a destination wedding, a honeymoon, a family Disney trip, a cruise, a Girl’s Getaway or a one of a kind Bucket List Adventure, clients who enlist the services of Cathy Wiechnik CTC of XCURSIONS can be assured their trip will be thoroughly enjoyable and worry free.

“CHERYL HASN’T BEEN EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD, BUT IT’S ON HER LIST.”

Cheryl Neufeld is extremely excited to be part of Team Xcursions, a full service travel agency offering incredible and diverse travel products at competitive prices.

The legions of friends Cheryl has made across the globe know she has a keen love of travel, so returning to her career as a travel professional makes perfect sense. A world traveler herself, Cheryl is passionate about helping her clients make their travel dreams come true, ensuring those trips become amazing memories.

Since Cheryl was certified in the travel industry in 2012, she has been recognized nationally for outstanding achievements in prospecting, selling, servicing and training. She accomplished this two years in a row while only working in the industry part time. For over 17 years she has owned and operated a restaurant within a livestock auction market.

Cheryl is extremely goal oriented and while she has helped her clients fulfill their bucket lists, she has been checking off her own with unique and remarkable accomplishments. She is truly proud that on July 28, 2017 in St John’s, Nfld. she completed her goal to visit EVERY capital city and legislative assembly in Canada, including the three territories.

The CFL’s Calgary Stampeders have no greater “super fun fan” than Cheryl, and have even invited her to fly along with them to away games. This has enabled her to fulfill her goal to watch her beloved team play in every stadium in Canada.

Cheryl has travelled to 5 of 7 continents, has had a swim or stepped in all the Great Lakes, the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. She has really enjoyed cruising on 8 big ships, enjoying a river cruise too. She has hopped and bopped through 26 of the United States, 9 European countries, Africa and China. Cheryl is planning on seeing, feeling, tasting and sharing many more experiences throughout the world.

Her passion for travel is infectious to all who know her, and everyone she meets. Cheryl says, “There is so much more to learn, so many valuable resources to discover, and so many more outstanding travel companies to meet and do business with.” Recently, Cheryl was selected to receive a scholarship to attain her Certified Travel Counselor (CTC) credentials. This intense combination of training and work experience will be invaluable as she works to enhance the travel experiences of her clients, while growing her own business.

Cheryl’s mission includes hosting groups to a wide variety of unique and breathtaking destinations. With her own brand of “super friendly” customer service she provides exceptional assistance to all of her clients, be they individuals, special interest groups, sports teams, dance groups, incentive or wedding groups.

Wherever in the world you want to go, Cheryl of Xcursions will not only get you there, but will make certain each and every journey is a trip of a lifetime!
