About
I'm a dad, foodie and adventurer. I've traveled to over 70 countries — backpacking in remote corners of the world, enjoying luxurious five-star hotels and everything in between.
Travel style
I love getting the most "bang for your buck" and maximizing my points, miles and cash to unlock incredible luxury experiences for a fraction of the regular price. I love a fine-dining restaurant and a good pool, but I'll also never turn down trying the street food or getting muddy on a hike.

Greg's reviews
We are so thankful for Greg for letting us completely focus on our wedding and not have to worry at all about our honeymoon. He was so amazing at getting to know us and what we like and also so good at communicating with us throughout the process. We were so excited for our honeymoon and it literally exceeded all of our expectations. The hotels were the most amazing hotels we have ever stayed at. The upgraded rooms were gorgeous and the hospitality was amazing. All of our excursions were perfect, we seriously couldn’t pick a favorite every day was just even better than the last. Lastly our favorite part the food!! His recommendations were so amazing and we seriously did not have a bad meal. We were a little worried about a week not feeling like enough time but we felt like a week was perfect, he was able to fit in the perfect amount of exploring with the perfect amount of relaxing. We couldn’t have asked for a more amazing honeymoon!

Greg was fantastic in helping us select this hotel. Our flight the next morning was at 5am so we had to be up very early so Greg suggested the Sofitel since it was a bit closer to the airport. We enjoyed the free breakfast and 85 euro credit at the hotel too. Thanks again, Greg!

We utilized Greg's services for a trip to Portugal that we took for my birthday. It was the first time that either myself or my husband had been to the country, so Greg truly helped us out a lot. He helped us book amazing hotels (two in Lisbon and this one in Porto). He worked with our budget and needs and gave us options to work with. He's absolutely amazing with communication and follow-up and we appreciated all the tips he gave us. We couldn't have asked for more and we will definitely be in contact with Greg for our future travels! Thank you again, Greg!
