Travel advising that adds real value.
I ease the burden of travel planning, delivering memorable experiences you’d be hard pressed to achieve on your own.
What is it you need?
-
"Book for me" (free!)
Maybe you’ve done the initial research yourself and are just looking for a good deal and some organization. For simple bookings, I can make it happen at no charge to you — and maybe get you some perks.
-
"Give me some options"
Milestone birthday with friends? Reconnecting with family? You know what you’re looking to get out of a trip, but not quite sure the right destination or even where to start. I can advise you with some options.
-
"Just take care of it"
You give me big-picture guidance, and I’ll research some great itinerary suggestions and book it all. We’re talking full service. You just have to show up. (This is the option my husband usually chooses.)

"I couldn't be happier with the experience. What impressed me the most was Michael's ability to grasp the essence of what we were looking for in our trip without a lot of back and forth. He took our brief and transformed it into an itinerary that saved us hours of research. Thanks to Michael we had the exact weekend getaway we were looking for."

Trip to New Orleans -
"Our family of four traveled to Greece and Spain and had the adventure of a lifetime, thanks largely to Michael’s wise guidance, hands-on support, and wonderful communication. He listened to our many (collective and individual) interests, struck the balance between activities and meandering time, and booked us with tours and in locations that felt just right for what we had envisioned. What’s more, Michael was patient and accessible."

"From the start, Michael made everything so easy for us. He took the time to ask the right questions and really got to know what was important to us for this particular trip. His attention to detail and genuine care for our experience made all the difference... If you want a travel advisor who’s friendly, attentive, and makes sure you have the best trip ever, Michael is your person. He truly made our Greece vacation a dream come true, and we can't thank him enough!"
