Travel style

Imagine having a travel buddy who lives for unlocking the best perks, dines like a local food critic and thrives on crafting those "just right" moments that make a trip unforgettable. That's me! I'm all about diving deep into the heart of every destination, from the chic streets of a bustling city center to the serene beaches of Mexico, always with an eye for the exquisite and the exceptional.

My travel mantra? Plan smart, then let the adventure unfold. I believe in setting a solid travel framework, peppered with must-try dining spots (courtesy of my endless Eater research) and not-to-miss experiences. Yet, I'm always ready to veer off the beaten path at a moment's notice for those spontaneous, can't-miss local gems.

My journey into the world of travel took a thrilling turn when I celebrated my birthday on a Virgin Voyages cruise in the Mediterranean. Let's just say, I'm hooked! The blend of luxe relaxation, top-tier service and that unique Virgin vibe opened up a whole new dimension of travel for me.

Whether you're dreaming of a luxe beach getaway with exceptional service, a cultural dive into new cityscapes or a culinary expedition that tantalizes your taste buds, I've got the inside scoop. And let's not forget about maximizing those points and miles for an experience that feels indulgent yet savvy.

Traveling with Otis, my miniature dachshund, has taught me the ins and outs of pet-friendly travel without compromising on style or comfort. From boutique hideaways to luxurious havens, I ensure every stay is memorable, especially when it comes with a view.

So, why book with me? Beyond my obsession with creating the ultimate customer experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge, a passion for food, culture and a knack for making every journey uniquely yours. Let's make your next trip not just a getaway but a journey filled with unforgettable moments, tailored just for you.

Bryant is awesome!

After watching Bryant’s epic adventures on his many Virgin Voyages sailings, I knew I had to jump on board and see what all the hype was about. Trusting his expertise turned out to be the best decision ever for my first Virgin voyage. Planning with Bryant was smooth sailing from start to finish. He nailed down the perfect vacation, scoring the best deals and awesome extras. Priority boarding made embarkation a breeze, and the bonus Sailor Loot let me splurge more onboard. Bryant’s proactive check-ins before, during, and after the trip made sure all my questions were answered, and I was having a blast the whole time. Bryant suggested flying in a day before embarkation, and boy, was that a great call. He set me up in a fabulous hotel near the port with an epic room upgrade and free breakfast. He even organized a car service, so all I had to do was show up. It made the whole travel experience totally stress-free. Onboard the ship, Bryant’s recommendations were gold. He had the perfect mix of must-do activities (Loteria, Bingo with the Diva, and Shot for Shot), relaxation (thermal suite access was pure bliss), and dining experiences (dinner and drinks at Extra Virgin were my favorite). Bryant even hooked me up with some of the cast and crew, who checked in on me to make sure I was having the time of my life. This personal touch made me feel super special and welcome. I can’t recommend Bryant enough for planning your next vacation. Whether you’re headed to the sea or staying on land, he’s got you covered. He takes care of every detail, so you just get to enjoy the ride. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did!

Bryant truly knows the ins and outs of Virgin voyages. He was able to help us get everything and more to say the least. From the beginning to end, Bryant made sure we had a room in a central location, he helped us take advantage of new and exciting things onboard that aren’t publicly advertised. Bryant was able to help us maximize all Virgin had to offer both on ship and also while on shore for our excursions. Bryant is very detail oriented and very passionate about travel and Virgin and it’s so easy to see from a conversation with him. I highly recommend anyone who wants their trip to be well planned out and take advantage of all the new and exciting offers. Bryant is your guy!

Bryant was an absolute pleasure to work with on planning this trip. He is very knowledgeable about all things Virgin and knew exactly what to do and when to do it. He understood my priorities for the vacation and made sure to plan things around those activities. Additionally, his perks of early access to the boat and free sailor loot allowed me to relax before the boat got busy and enjoy some extra things on my journey. I will for sure be using him for all future voyages as he made it so easy. Listen to his expert tip about arriving a day early and starting right by the port, it made boarding a breeze.
