Margarita Ibbott ~ I.am.DownshiftingPRO

DOWNSHIFTING: a movement to voluntarily simplify your life (slow down, minimize, review priorities). I am all about less stuff and more travel.

DownshiftingPRO is where seasoned travel wisdom meets authentic adventure for the 50+ traveler hungry for luxury, culture, and meaningful experiences. I’m Margarita —a storyteller, organizer, and passionate explorer who blends solo escapes, trips with my husband, and multi-generational family adventures.

Whether I’m savouring exquisite culinary delights, wandering through world-class museums, connecting with Indigenous cultures, or indulging in luxury stays, I go beyond the surface to bring destinations alive.

As a regular contributor to HotelScoop.com, I spotlight exceptional hotels and resorts that understand the mature traveler’s craving for comfort, style, and culturally rich experiences.

DownshiftingPRO delivers insider tips, travel hacks, and heartfelt stories—seasoned with humour, wanderlust, and the kind of family travel that’s equal parts connection and celebration.

Europe, the US, or Canada, I’ve got your go-to itinerary for travelers who want to explore on their own terms, balancing solo journeys, couple getaways, and lively multi-generational but with cocktails.

I’m always on the lookout for my next adventure.

The question remains: where will we go next?
