Travel style

I find that taking the path less trodden often leads to the greatest rewards. I've driven to outstanding luxury mountain top retreats in Oman and Georgia, ridden hot air balloons in Myanmar and Turkey, gone on remote scuba dives in Thailand and Mexico and ridden some amazing powder in Andorra and Japan. Think outside the box.

Alex knows our tastes better than we do! After giving him a simple vision and budget, he returned with an itinerary better than we could have imagined or found ourselves!

Booked travel to Croatia
June 2024

Alex’s guidance as a travel advisor turned a normal trip into one to remember for a lifetime! By negotiating behind the scenes for upgrades at every step of the way - the room to a suite, breakfast included, club level access - his help was like ice in your favorite summer drink, transforming something you would go through the motions of enjoying because you’ve already committed to it, into a delightful and refreshing experience to remember!
