🌿 About Me – Kymm Dracup

Founder of Soulful Bloom Inc. & Deep Travel Collections
TICO Certified | 10+ Years in the Travel Industry | Former Senior Consultant, Toronto Groups Dept.

Hi, I’m Kymm—and this isn’t just a business.
It’s my lifeline. My comeback. My second act.
And it’s rooted in real experience, real healing, and real heart.

I’ve worked in the travel industry for over a decade, most recently as a Senior Consultant in the Groups Department in Toronto, where I planned and led unforgettable tours for Canadians aged 45 to 75.
These are the travelers I know. The people I care about. And the ones who’ve trusted me time and again to guide them safely, beautifully, and stress-free. And helped them plan amazing adventures with passion and kindness.

But my connection to travel isn’t just professional—it’s deeply personal.
Every soul-enriching journey I’ve taken—from Thailand to Kenya to Sicily—has changed me.
It’s how I heal.
And when I was in the depths of depression, grief, burnout, and loss, I realized that travel would also be the thing that helped me rebuild.

That’s when Deep Travel Collections was born.

✈️ Deep Travel Collections isn’t just a travel business. It’s a movement.

It’s for Retired Canadian snowbirds and solo midlife dreamers who are ready for more.
More freedom. More beauty. More safety. More soul.
And more options—because Florida isn’t cutting it anymore.

Let’s be honest:
Between the political unrest, the trade wars, and the fear of what might happen if we cross the border into a divided and chaotic United States, many Canadians have quietly started pulling away from U.S. travel.
It’s not just economic—it’s emotional.
We were scared. Some of us even feared being annexed under Trump-era politics.
So now we’re choosing something different.
We’re sticking together.
We’re lifting each other up.
And we’re exploring new, peaceful, soulful destinations that reflect our values.

There’s a new Canadian pride rising right now.
We’re more united than we’ve ever been—and that energy is exactly what this platform is built on.

At Deep Travel Collections, I’m helping Canadians aged 50+ travel better—with confidence, calm, and clarity.
I’m TICO certified, so your travel is protected.
I know how to plan for long-term stays. I am passionate about travel and have curated many incredible trips.
And I’m creating a library of tools to support you fully, including:

• 3-6 month snowbird itineraries/guides beyond Florida

• House watch referral checklists

• Pet travel guidance

• Departure prep & packing lists

• Digital nomad starter kits

• Printable guides for weather, insurance, budgeting, and more

And it’s all being built under Soulful Bloom Inc.
Because this isn’t just about travel—it’s about reinvention.
It’s about community.
It’s about healing through movement.
And it’s about helping Snowbirds and solo midlife women like me create a meaningful second act with purpose, warmth, and adventure

Let’s spend our winters differently.
And let’s do it together, the Canadian way.

Deep Travel Collection was created specifically for Canadian snowbirds seeking alternatives to traditional US winter destinations. With rising trade tensions between Canada and the US, many Canadians are looking beyond Florida and Arizona for their winter escapes.

Our comprehensive guides focus exclusively on destinations that welcome Canadians for extended stays (2-6 months), offering independent accommodations, authentic cultural experiences, and significant cost savings compared to US options.

Each guide provides Canadian-specific information on visas, healthcare, banking, and practical living details you won't find in typical travel resources
