Hello Toronto!

After much deliberation we’ve decided to start a Toronto Massive instagram account as one of the ways to support this community better. Come give us a follow at @TravelMassiveTO, find yourself, reminisce about the past events (we’ve chosen a few to populate this new account).

We also invite you to tag us, use #TravelMassiveToronto and invite @TravelMassiveTO as a collaborator to your Massive adventures ☺️

Lat but not least, if you are looking to engage w/ the community as a social media volunteer give us a shout at toronto@travelmassive.com.

Hello Travel Massive Toronto 👋,

We are reaching out as a follow-up to our first Travel Massive meet-up of the year with an announcement and a request!

Thank you to everyone who attended our meet-up at Duke's Refresher in June. It was great getting together and catching up with our Toronto Travel Massive crew as well as meeting new Travel Industry members. We really are a special group and the energy of over 10 years strong was present.

The announcement:

When Travel Massive asked if anyone would be interested in stepping in to lead the chapter going forward, I enthusiastically answered the call. My name is Kateryna and I am happy to share that I will be your new chapter lead. I am a Toronto-based travel photographer, writer, and content creator. Over the last decade, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with brands, tourism boards, and a wide range of hotels, sharing stories and inspiring future travelers one photo at a time. Outside of my frequent globe-trotting I freelance as a Design Director and Researcher in tech startups and run an online music magazine, QuipMagazine.com, which I founded in 2011.

I have been a Travel Massive member since 2017 and attended a wealth of events over the years where I’ve met quite a few of you lovely people. This community and the events have been very helpful in my personal growth as a travel professional so when the opportunity to join the team opened up I saw it as a chance to share my experience, learn from others, and support this wonderful global network in the city that I live and love.

In support of my new role will also be long-time Travel Massive community members, Rain, Jasmin, and Cristina.

We are all very grateful to Cristina for all of her amazing hard work, and community-building over the years with great support from Will and Melissa 👏. Glad to say that we can still expect to see them at future events, it will just be in a new capacity, as attendees.

The Request:

I could imagine we are all eager to see what the next big event might be. The good news is we are starting to work on the programming for the upcoming months 🎉 As members you get a say in what those might look like so we’d like to ask you for some input.

Please take a moment to fill out this short survey, your input will be incredibly helpful and guide future programming.

We hope to see you at upcoming events - meeting old friends, new members, and Travel Industry partners of Travel Massive. Please stay in touch with us on Toronto Travel Massive and on Facebook @TorontoTravelMassive.

Find me on Travel Massive (@katerryna or kateryna@travelmassive.com), Instagram (@katerryna) or at pathstotravel.com 😊

Have a wonderful week,

Kateryna T.
