About
I am 50% travel research nerd, 20% foodie, 20% rock and roller, 20% tennis enthusiast – Yep, that's 110%. After over 40 years in the business world, I now live in the world of travel. My checked-off bucket list includes: two jaw-dropping African safaris, climbing the western Sahara dunes on camelback, exploring the souks of Istanbul and Marrakech, discovering the history and luxury of Italy, experiencing the magic of European Christmas markets, slothing it out in Costa Rica and cruising the Med & Alaska. Planning is one of the most exciting parts of any fab journey, and I can't wait to plan yours!
Travel style
The perfect itinerary includes exotic urban explorations combined with unforgettable landscapes and some wildlife trekking. All this done in a luxe vibe! The best day ends by sharing exploits with new friends over a handcrafted cocktail.

Allen's reviews
Allen was a joy to work with and very responsive. He planned this trip like it was his own and did tons of research on every element so we didn't have to. He was spot on with recommendations, based on what we told him we were interested in. He was transparent about pricing and consultative in what he thought was worth upgrading to. We were able to get discounts and perks as a result of working with Allen and Fora. We're already planning our next trip with him!

Allen is a joy to work with. He treats each trip like he's planning it for his own family — incredibly thorough and attuned to the needs/wants we outlined. He thinks of every detail, from the best precise location of our cruise cabin, right down to which mosquito repellant to bring for easy packing on excursions! He puts a ton of time and effort into researching every detail of the itinerary so you don't have to, giving you total piece of mind that your vacation has been fine-tuned for the best possible outcome. He's very well traveled himself and generous with his time on meetings. We loved the transparency in cost comparisons and his consultative nature in what experiences are worth the upgrade versus which you may want to pass on the hype. He's also very responsive; we didn't have any issues during our trip, because he prepared us so well, and I'd imagine even if there was a hiccup, he would be quick to help fix it, just based on his responsiveness all throughout the process leading up to the trip. He's already working on our next adventure!

Allen Eitzel was so meticulous and communicative when helping me plan my wonderful stay at The Rosewood Inn of The Anasazi. Allen ensured that I was given a great rate and meal credits (he saved me over $1,000). I was greeted on the first day to a lovely welcome gift and a note from Allen. Allen goes above and beyond in making sure you receive the best possible deals and travel experiences.
