How It Works

Our Promise

  • No kickbacks

    Unlike other travel agencies, I don’t have prior relationships or partnerships with specific hotels, restaurants, or vendors. You’ll rest easy knowing that my main priority is making your trip unforgettable, not lining my own pockets with commissions.

  • Unique experiences

    I’ve avoided canned vacation packages and cookie-cutter cruises my entire life. If you’re looking for a travel agency that’s going to pitch you on the same 6-day, 7-night all-inclusive to Cozumel they recommend to everybody else, look elsewhere. I believe in planning travel experiences as unique as you.

  • Advisors, not agents

    Because of the magic of the interwebs, the traditional travel agent has gone the way of the dinosaur. What you need is a travel advisor, a partner who will help you sift and sort through tons of online information to craft your ideal itinerary. We look. You book.

  • Balanced approach

    One of the biggest takeaways I’ve gained planning travel is to strike a balance between exploration, sight-seeing, activities, and downtime. You can trust that I’ll provide you with a well-blended experience that isn’t lopsided or overly ambitious in scope, creating space for you to enjoy your trip at your desired pace.

 

Our Process

Looking for help planning your next big trip but aren’t sure where to start? Here’s what you can expect from us.

 
 

Share your preferences

Are you a museum-goer or street vendor foodie? Do you like vibrant downtowns or calm, quiet beaches? Do you prefer gritty local hostels or the fanciest five-star luxury hotels? Fill out our pre-trip Traveler Questionnaire and let us know what floats your proverbial boat.

Schedule a call

Once we understand your travel preferences, we’ll send you a link via email to schedule a brief video call to get to know you and your travel party better, as well as your specific travel goals.

Get your itinerary

After our call, we pop on our headphones and dive head first into our logistics laboratory, digging up travel deals, hidden gems, and the best your destination has to offer. We’ll digest all of that rich research into a handy day-by-day PDF itinerary that’s easily accessible on your trip.
