Travel style

Traveling for me is all about balance: sightseeing and relaxation, soaking up the vibe at a café and admiring architecture in a new place. I seek boutique hotels and experiences that deliver attention to detail and incredible destinations. Rooftop views, the best local food and meeting new people are always on my itinerary! I can't wait to make your dream trip a reality. Let's talk about all the details to make it happen!

Chris made finding and booking the perfect 30th birthday trip to Iguazu Falls in Argentina a seamless experience from start to stay! He provided options and made it so easy to book. I appreciate his knowledge and attention to detail to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted at the best rate for a luxury experience. He surprised us with a delicious Argentinian dulce de leche cake that made the trip even more special and memorable for 30! I highly recommend Chris and will definitely be working with him again for my future travels.

Chris is an exceptional travel advisor! He went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. My fiancé and I were celebrating our engagement, and Chris ensured we were upgraded to a suite. We were also greeted with a thoughtful welcome note and chocolate-covered strawberries. His attention to detail made our experience even more special, and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. I’ll definitely be booking future trips with him!
