My Story

Travel-obsessed dad of two, with 20+ years in the travel industry. I’ve had the privilege of living and working in four amazing cities: Vancouver, Toronto, New York, and Melbourne.

Travel Style

Over time, my own travel has spanned everything from backpacking across new cities, to 5-star escapes, to family trips that remind me of how different (and fun) travel looks through my kids’ eyes. I've been to 48 countries, experienced small and large group touring, cruising (ocean and river), and customizing incredible theme trips (if you want a great Breaking Bad self-tour in Albuquerque, I'm your guy to plan it!).

Brian’s support with organizing this trip was truly invaluable. Every moment of our trip was carefully considered and was so appreciated. The pre-arranged transfers were top quality (nice and clean cars, on time, easy to coordinate). The tours were so much fun!! And overall so well done! I really appreciated Brian’s help with finding the best quality for the price. The hotel booking was absolutely fantastic! We loved staying at the Fairmont and our room was positively dreamy! The itinerary as sent to us was also easy to use and nice to see laid out as we went into the trip! Thank you for all the care and attention! And thank you for the extra little perks throughout the trip!

Brian is a godsend. He helped us with every aspect of our booking and was indispensable in helping us plan and organize our vacation. He is knowledgeable, communicative and especially patient, and we especially appreciate that he followed up with us to make sure our vacation was a resounding success.
