Our community
Our mission and our team
Why we are here
The vision of Wheel & Anchor is a community where travellers can connect to share stories and build friendships around their passion for travel. We believe the transformative experience of travel is accelerated and deepened in the company of friends, and that is why we create events that bring travellers together.
We are a community of travellers creating and pursuing unforgettable experiences. If you feel the same way, you are welcome to join us.
Wheel & Anchor was founded to fill the gaps between trips with stories, inspiration, and a sense of community; to bring travellers together for unforgettable experiences; and ultimately to build friendships around a shared passion for travel.
Well-travelled company
Gordon has been developing immersive travel experiences for Canadians for nearly 30 years, working with suppliers around the globe and hosting trips across several continents. His love for the conversations between travellers and the camaraderie of travelling together inspired the creation of Wheel & Anchor.
Our trips allow more time to immerse yourself in each destination. We handle the flights, timetables, accommodations, and activities, so you can indulge in the experiences, people, and cultures we visit together.
