Travel style
Digital-nomad-wannabe who caught the "travel bug" early! I was introduced to luxury travel via point bookings, and now I am always planning my next adventure. In my free time, I keep track of restaurants and culinary experiences in cities across the world, so I always know an exciting place to eat no matter where I am.

Alex's reviews
Alex made my trip truly unforgettable. He listened to my preferences, budget, and dreams for my travels and presented options in a highly organized and detailed way. He found luxury experiences that fit my budget, and went above and beyond finding included amenities. When unavoidable hiccups occurred, he responded quickly and effectively and turned those hiccups into opportunities that made my travels even better! His communication, empathy and enthusiasm made planning 3 weeks solo in Europe so much less daunting. I can't imagine the trip without his help.

Alex was so easy to work with, and was an unbelievable help when planning our trip! He not only booked us perfect hotels within our budget, but also checked in with us to make sure check-ins went smoothly and to see if there was anything he could help with during our travels. He's the best!!
