Hey there! I'm Erika. I was raised in the Cowichan Valley. After working in the engineering industry in my twenties I was feeling a little uninspired by the nine-to-five routine. I decided to make a bold choice: hit the pause button on cubicle life and set off on a backpacking
adventure. It was a liberating decision that allowed me
to more about myself and the world around me. My time
working and volunteering at hostels across Europe and
Central America ignited a passion for connecting with
people from diverse backgrounds and exploring new
destinations. This inspired me to start Twofiveo Tour Co.
in 2019.
I started Twofiveo because I wanted to bring the travel experiences I had abroad back home for visitors to enjoy like I did. Inspired by the great times I had and the people I met while traveling, I wanted to offer guests the chance to have memorable adventures and get a taste of local culture in my hometown.
