Travel style
I've traveled just about every way imaginable. I was an avid camper and adventurer in my teens and early 20s and have driven in every state except for Alaska (it's on the list). In my late 20s and early 30s I traveled to Asia for business (which is how I got the original SARS in 2002, ask me to tell you that story) which ignited a new passion to see the world. Since then, my wife and I have mastered the perfect long weekend in Europe and have seen so many cities that way. Some cities we've done detailed itineraries and others we've just winged it, but mostly we do a little of both. I love creating a menu of options for each trip and then letting our mood dictate which experience we opt for. I'd be happy to help you do the same.

Dan's reviews
Dan is an absolute travel wizard! My friends and I were planning my birthday trip to St. Lucia, and we were overwhelmed by all the options and details. He not only managed to find us incredible flights and accommodations that fit our budget and preferences but also handled all the logistics seamlessly. He booked us a beautiful beachfront villa with private plunge pools, arranged for a delicious birthday cake and champagne surprise, and even planned a personalized itinerary filled with fun activities and experiences. He was incredibly knowledgeable about St. Lucia, recommending hidden gems and insider tips that made our trip truly special. Thanks to Dan, my birthday celebration was unforgettable. He is incredibly organized, responsive, and passionate about travel. We'll definitely be using his services again for our next vacation!
