Profile details
About
I am a globetrotter, hotel aficionado, airline enthusiast and food lover. I enjoy connecting people to amazing trips and experiences.
Travel style
I like to explore places on foot. Walking around gives you a better feel for the people and local culture. It also lets you find hidden gems that you might miss while sitting in a car. Normally, I arrive in a new place with a bit of research and pending time on Google Maps to save interesting places to eat and explore. But I usually skip a detailed itinerary to leave room for the unknown.
Hotels are one of the highlights of travel for me. I enjoy hotels with interesting design choices, great amenities, and fantastic service. Food is another priority. I usually have more places I want to try than room in my stomach.

Benjamin 's reviews
Did you know that you can have dinner and drinks comp’ed when staying at a Park Hyatt? I didn’t, until I booked with Benjamin! In addition to being highly efficient, it is clear that Benjamin is extremely passionate about hotels. Before my trip, Benjamin researched several properties in Toronto and walked me through each option, paying special attention to unique amenities (for example, the Park Hyatt, which we landed on, has a complimentary car service for intra-town trips) as well as their design languages (our back-up was a historic building that used to be a bank). My schedule was volatile, but Benjamin worked around it and booked my stay as I boarded my flight. Since it was such short notice, he called the front desk in advance to confirm that my details had been correctly processed. On his call, he also secured late check out which is important to me. Upon arrival, he contacted me to ensure that the check in process had proceeded smoothly. He also informed me that he had managed to secure complimentary dinner at the hotel’s two restaurants - a pleasant surprise given my late arrival! He even texted me the menus for the two restaurants so I could choose easily. I would highly recommend booking with Benjamin - he is efficient, responsive and highly knowledgeable about the hospitality industry.

In my initial conversations with Benjamin, I expressed that I wanted to surprise my wife and book a special stay for the last couple days of our honeymoon in Bali. Benjamin did not hesitate to rise to the challenge. Beyond recommending the Four Seasons at Jimbaran Bay, Benjamin ensured every detail was in place – including an upgrade to a villa with a partial-ocean view. At check-in, my wife received a bouquet of welcome flowers while the staff shared about the many amenities offered. Our villa included “happy honeymoon” decor along with chilled champagne and dessert. With Benjamin’s guidance and expertise, our stay was special indeed and the perfect place to round out our trip. If you’re looking to level up your travel experience, do not hesitate to connect with Benjamin – you won’t be disappointed!

Benjamin was a fantastic travel advisor. He provided me with thoughtful hotel recommendations based on our travel plans and the additional perks at the hotel that we received were even better than expected. In addition to hotels, he provided great recommendations for local dining and activities. We will definitely be working with Benjamin on our future travel plans.
