Hear Irene talk about her hobbies and pastimes, and you quickly get the impression of someone driven by her passions. Next, take a look at the list of places in which she has lived (Mexico, Nigeria, China, Papua New Guinea…) and you upgrade passion to gumption. Then, listen to her energetically explain her enthusiasm for […]
We had the privilege and pleasure of working with Caroline for many years before she joined the Trufflepig stable, because she was our go-to expert and guide in the Bordeaux region of France, which she’s called home for many years, and where she lives with her young family. There wasn’t a chateau she couldn’t get […]
There are two broad categories of planner at Trufflepig. Those who like to hunker down on one clearly defined geographic region and become the authority for, say, the north eastern stretches of the southern corner of the western Apennines. And those for whom the whole point of working in a travel company is to travel: […]
Amy’s curiosity for the world probably didn’t begin when she left her native Ontario for Europe as a student on a year’s study abroad, but it hasn’t let up since. And what makes Amy a great traveler is also what makes her a great colleague and indeed a great trip planner: abundant doses of generosity […]

**Applications are now closed for these positions** Truffleping. Trouble Pig. Truffe-le-Pig. Tremblebig. Just a (very very) small selection of the spelling mistakes we’ve received on envelopes over the years from around the world, and always a delightful reminder that the devil is in the details. Also, perhaps, that we should have chosen a less silly […]

What a wonderful experience we had – way beyond a vacation. – Lori & Greg M, April 2023
Joe’s path to our door circled the globe, several times, from his birth place in India, to our office in Toronto. You could say something similar about many people working in travel. But you could work in tourism for 500 years and never cross Joe’s migratory path. Because, rather than trying out fancy restaurants in […]
Matt McClune, coffee roaster extraordinaire at St Romain Coffee Co. in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, approaches all his projects in life with an untiring conviction that everything benefits from more thought, more attention and more deliberation. I should know this, because I’m in a village rock band with him (we trademarked the musical genre of […]
Erik may be the only person I’ve ever known in an interview to stately quite calmly that he enjoys a bit of repetitive data entry work; and he said it to the right person, because I also find those rhythms rather calming and pleasant. We bonded. That he then went on to give a 5 […]
Habiba is many things at Trufflepig. Quiet and retiring are not among them, and we like that. She’s a presence in our tight knit group, and that’s because Habiba’s someone who lives to connect. She’ll do so by laughing – heartily and properly. She’ll do so by challenging – if John is your favourite Beatle, […]
In her first year at Trufflepig, Emilie moved from Provence, to Toronto, to Beaune and back to Provence, in a migratory pattern that seems to express how she’s spent her entire life: on the move, living in more places than we can count, wielding multiple passports, and apparently at home anywhere she unpacks her bag. […]
“I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow that house down….” As a man with two small kids, I think a lot about the big bad wolf – he and his cronies crop up a lot in the bedtime stories I’ve been reading every night for the last decade. Sometimes I’m surprised at how much […]
