What we’re about
As a member of Impulsive Calgary, you will have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for travel. Our group promotes a learning atmosphere, where members can share past travel stories and knowledge to inspire new adventures and future travel destinations both locally and internationally.
Whether you prefer to travel solo or with new friends, there is something for everyone.
The leaders of this group are experienced travelers who have come together with the goal of sharing their combined experiences, insights, and information to help others. We will be looking to add organizers with different styles of travel, so their wisdom and expertise can be added to the group, making it more diverse and informative.
To start, we plan to meet once a month in various locations around Calgary to accommodate members in different locations and to have one fun activity or getaway a month. Our meetups will be held in a pub or restaurant in a relaxed, informal setting where we can eat, drink, and talk all things travel.
Join us and let's discover new destinations together. Let's share our experiences and make new friends while planning our next trip. We look forward to meeting you!
We have created a Facebook group called Impulsive Tourists to share everyone's knowledge, recommendations, and passion for traveling. This group is open for anyone who wants to join and is a great resource for all members to stay connected and continue sharing their travel experiences and tips.
BIO
My name is Troy Knight and I am a travel agent with a passion for exploring the world. My journey began in 2014, when I took my first backpack trip, a five-week journey through the UK. That trip sparked a love for travel that has continued to grow ever since.
In 2016, I joined Impulsive Tourists, a group of travel enthusiasts, and met some great friends. That same year, I realized that I wasn't fulfilled in my current life and decided to make a change. I sold my business and most of my possessions, with the goal of finding myself and continuing to travel the world.
Over the years, I have traveled to 30 countries, mostly solo, and have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience. I travel to experience new cultures, food and beer, while also visiting museums, art galleries and side streets. I am not a budget traveler, as I prefer to spend money on admissions, experiences and sporting events, as I don't want to miss anything in case I can't return.
In 2019, one of our Impulsive Tourists members convinced me to become a travel agent, as I have a passion for travel and enjoy sharing my knowledge and experiences to help others plan their trips. I specialize in group trips, such as safaris, Machu Picchu, cruises, and trips to China and India, and can help you save money on your vacation.
If you're looking for tours, river or ocean cruises, all-inclusive resorts, or any other vacation of your dreams, please don't hesitate to contact me. I am here to help you plan the trip of a lifetime.

Gloria Jackson
My name is Gloria and I am a senior, solo, backpacker. I am a “budget” traveller by choice. I love the challenge of getting the best bang for my buck. I am fortunate to have lived in Indonesia, Austria, Israel, Tanzania, and the Bahamas. Travelling with a partner, and solo, I have visited more than 150 countries. I have always stayed in hostels when I can. Now, as a concession to my age, I get a private room with private bath - and I can still enjoy the social aspects available. I am an author, travel writer and I teach “How to Travel” classes at night schools etc. My website is: itscheapertotravel.com
