About Us
Dream Travel was founded and named as such because of our dedication to making dreams come true. Yours, and ours. For us, it is truly a dream to be a part of an organization that helps others. We pride ourselves on being a part of the walking and running community which is dedicated to helping people build and maintain a healthy lifestyle! And, we couldn’t be more fortunate! Our dreams have come true, and, we hope that we are a helping hand with making your dreams a reality as well!
Dream Travel’s community is now reaching out even further! We understand that our community isn’t just one town, one province or one country. Our community is global. We want to do our part in making the dreams of others come true as well. As such, we have created the Dreams program.
Through our Dreams program, Dream Travel is now donating a minimum of 5% of all profit to various local and global charities in need. 5% will be our minimum, not our maximum.
Please visit our site often for updates on our giving program and to learn more about how our clients are helping us make a real difference in the world we live.

Meet the Team
Stephen Price
Stephen Price came up with the idea of pairing up a travel agency with running and made that dream into a reality in 2004. He named it Dream Travel as it was his personal dream to travel the world and run.
Stephen has literally run all over the world including some places he’s not permitted to talk about. He’s run many marathons including Mt Kilimanjaro, The Great Wall of China, Portugal, Iceland, Ireland, Czech Republic, Edmonton, Mississippi and the New York City Marathon 9 times. He also took a crack at the 2008 Gobi March, a 250+ KM ultra but fractured a metarasal around the 105KM mark. He hobbled until 128KM mark before calling it quits but still calls it one of his greatest races.
Born with a ClubFoot and having four subsequent major surgeries, Stephen was told he’d never be able to participate in any sport that included running. He must have forgotten…
He splits his time between Costa Rica, Canada and wherever his next big adventure takes him. He’s fluent in both Spanish and English.
Yumi Massahi
Although Yumi only joined Dream Travel in 2023, she's no stranger to the travel world or to Stephen! With 17 years of experience in the travel industry, and working with Stephen for 12 of those years, she is our Director of Operations. Yumi tackles the package contracts and logistics for all our events to ensure things are running smoothly!
Yumi currently prefers running shorter distances, but is stepping it up and training for her first half marathon! Her goal? To complete the SuperHalf series!
Jazmín Vargas
Hailing from Costa Rica, Jazmin has been working hard for us since 2016 and handles all of the runDisney events and the Costa Rica tour. She’s also in charge of the bookkeeping, ads, the website, payroll, social media, banking and all the things that Stephen doesn’t like to do. After meeting Stephen, she’s gotten into running and has run races in Disneyland, Disney World as well 5 Majors including the TCS New York City Marathon, the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON, the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, the TCS Sydney Marathon and the TCS London Marathon. She’ll also be running the Tokyo Marahton and the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon in 2026! Sounds like she’s hooked!
She’s fluent in Spanish and English and has traveled extensively through Asia, the Americas, Africa and Europe. She ran the 2018 TCS New York City Marathon as her first marathon and beat her coach. Stephen is still in denial.
Jazmin is also mother to adorable twins.
Joseph Sim
Born in Scotland, raised in England, living in the US and Canada, Joseph is trying hard to be an international man of mystery, especially because he hides behind a camera most of the time!
Joseph is a professional videographer, photographer, editor, multiple business owner and co-creator of Beyond Limits, a new documentary series coming to the Dream Travel website in June of 2025! We’ll keep you updated!
Stephen persuaded (forced) Joseph to run the TCS New York City Marathon in 2024 so that he could have a better understanding of what it is that we do. He still loves/hates Stephen for it!
Yvonne Davis
Yvonne brings a wealth of experience in customer service and a deep passion for worldwide travel. With a commitment to fitness and wellness, she ensures a vibrant approach to life and work. As a dedicated stay-at-home mom to energetic 10-year-old twins, she also combines a personal insight and organizational skills to create unforgettable travel experiences tailored to various needs.
Yvonne is in charge of every event other than the runDisney races, so odds are you will be speaking to her soon!
Recently she’s taken her running to a whole new level by running the 2026 TCS London Marathon!
Rachel Pelletier
Rachel hopes to share her love of travel and help make traveling for marathons as easy as possible. She enjoys a variety of activities, including hiking, ringette, and, of course, running! Fluent in both French and English, she was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta.
She is planning on completing her first marathon in Chicago or Berlin this year!
Yem Solis
I've always believed that the best way to get to know a destination is to explore it at a leisurely pace, enjoying the journey as much as the destination. For me, traveling is about connecting with the culture, the people, and those little details that make each place unique. Cycling makes that experience even more special because it allows us to discover destinations at a different rhythm and savor every kilometer of the ride.
I studied Tourism and have worked in the travel industry for over six years, a profession that has allowed me to help many people realize their adventures and understand the importance of paying attention to every detail to create memorable experiences.
Cycling has been one of my greatest passions since I was very young. Over the years, I've practiced both competitive and recreational cycling, experiences that have taught me to enjoy this sport from different perspectives: from the challenge and discipline that competition demands to the pleasure of exploring landscapes, discovering new places, and sharing the journey with others.
Today, I'm fortunate to combine my experience in tourism with a passion that has been with me for much of my life: cycling. My goal as a guide is to create an environment where each traveler feels accompanied, safe, and confident so they can enjoy every journey, connect with each destination, and return home with memories that inspire them to continue discovering the world on two wheels.
