INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY - A MESSAGE OF HOPE, SPIRIT AND UNITY

Warm greetings from Ontario, Canada. My name is Camille Jocsak and I have been in the Special Events and Travel Industry for decades. With my primary focus being family and romance travel I have had the pleasure of a being part of life’s most special moments helping to turn dreams into lasting memories.

Since the early 1900s we have used International Women’s Day as a way of

honouring the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

This year’s #breakthebias theme accentuates the need to eliminate gender

inequality. We need to recognize and reward based on one’s achievements and

ability regardless of gender.

I believe that travel can help bridge the divide. It is a big beautiful world and travel

allows us to explore, educate and strengthen relations between cultures, races, gender and communities. It is through our travels in life and in distance that we reate lasting relationships that inspire us and lift us higher so that when days are at their darkest we can find the strength to persevere.

As a wife, mother, grandmother and business woman I am grateful for the opportunities that life has presented me with and for the support of those closest to me. I founded Planned 2 Perfection Limited, Paradise 2 Perfection and The P2P Life to provide platforms to create and highlight transformative and inspirational life events through travel. Each step we take and each person we meet along the way adds to our life journey. When we walk the path with honour

and integrity we will not only take a story away with us that creates a new life chapter but we will leave a positive one behind for those we have had the pleasure of meeting along the way.

We can elicit change and we can make a difference, one person at a time, one story at a time, one day at a time in the hopes of leaving this world a better place for our children and grandchildren.

I am honoured to be sharing this message of unity, hope and courage to women around the world but most especially I send prayers to the strong women of Ukraine and their families. May these darkest of days soon shine bright.
