About
I'm a trusted advisor for luxury and adventure focused travel. I've visited over 30 countries thus far and I'm highly skilled in planning multi-stop, international travel experiences.
Travel style

James's reviews
James was more than helpful. We never have much spare time to look into anything (trips) so he took the reins and came back to us with places and numbers and we made the choice. I have plans to use James and his knowledge of travel again in the future.

James was absolutely fantastic to work with! We booked a long European vacation, taking place over multiple cities, with travel arrangements in between each. On the trip, we had no problem at all with the travel bookings that James had made and his hotel selections were fantastic and provided top-notch service. He was very sensitive and flexible to our particular needs, wants, and budget, and would make sure to accommodate where he could. He made the entire planning process incredibly easy and fun! We will definitely be using James again on our next big trip — I already can't wait to work with him again!
