What is a “Zoomer”? If you are a baby boomer with zip, you are a Zoomer!
We travel around the world in search of adventures with the goal of passing on our experiences so that you can spend less time researching and just follow our itineraries. We know how much research goes into planning a trip – so we are doing this as a way of giving back. Everything we feature on this site and videos we have personally done. This site is for you if:
- you are a traveller rather than tourist
- like to experience what locals do
- enjoy a routine in a foreign environment
- love to walk urban spaces and escapes
Love your feedback, questions, and most importantly, your recommendations for our upcoming trips so we can capture those memories for you.
ABOUT US
We’ve had a Vancouver, BC Canada-based videography business for 22 years that specialized in life story biographies and corporate videos. I’m a videographer, editor, and digital content creator. My husband Dave is a video/photo drone operator, photographer and sales/marketing specialist.
Five years ago we started Destination Zoomer to give back to the amazing travel industry, after we pivoted our video production business to focus on tourism + hospitality – Our Place Media.
As lifelong travellers – we love to meet new people, capturing your story and sharing it with the world.
