Margarita Ibbott is a member of the Travel Media Association of Canada (TMAC) and is the primary writer for DownshiftingPRO.com and a contributor to Hotel-Scoop.com. DownshiftingPRO is a travel and family travel website whose focus is on travel for women 50+, family and multigenerational travel, and girls' getaways. With travel assignments in Spain, France, Quebec, and the US, you can find some great travel advice on a little bit of everything.

I have worked with DMOs and CVBs from the Quebec City Region, Quebec Maritime, Charlevoix, Saguenay/Lac St. Jean, Philadelphia, Clarksville & Franklin, TN, Saratoga Springs, NY, New Orleans, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Visit Florida, NY, Gulf Shores/Orange Beach and Huntsville, AL, Barcelona and Costa Brava, and Donegal, Ireland (many were TBEX FAMs).

I also work with other Canadian travel and lifestyle travel writers to create customized Girl's Getaway press trips with both PR firms and the DMOs that they represent.

You can find me on all channels under the username @DownshiftingPRO. I also have two Instagram accounts: DownshiftingPRO (lifestyle and travel) & DPROtravel (couple).
