About

Curious and intrepid travel researcher and itinerary builder. I'm not sure if I enjoy planning travel or taking advantage of a well-planned trip more!

Travel style

I have a very versatile travel style and am just as comfortable summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro as I am indulging at a luxury resort in the Maldives or meandering the streets of Lisbon in search of the cutest cafe or tastiest restaurant. For me, travel is all about the connection and experiences you're able to make with old friends and locals alike.

Riker 's reviews

Riker is the best! He is super thorough and always make sure that every part of our trip is taken care of and that we know he is always there throughout our trip to rely on. Should we need anything unforeseen. He’s super thoughtful and thinking about who we are and what we want and often that’s very different from the average traveler or vacationer, so I extra appreciate Riker as my favorite best ever travel advisor.
