My Story

As a kid, he dreamt of architecture and made movies with friends. Though sidetracked into law, a stint in the corporate world, then entrepreneurship in clean energy and sustainable housing, his passion for travel, film, and architecture never faded. Born in Italy, growing up in Paris until he was 5, and living in China for 17 years and Australia for 3 (where he attended architecture school for fun in his 40s), and traveling to over 60 countries, Don channeled his experiences into a travel platform built around authenticity, design, and discovery. He gets you because he’s lived your travel frustrations—and triumphs—firsthand. His perfectionist tendencies mean he’s been known to rearrange hotel furniture for better feng shui before filming—leaving confused housekeeping staff in his wake.

Travel Style

I travel for places that feel considered and real—design-forward hotels, independent properties, and destinations with a strong sense of place. I like to balance culture, nature, and a bit of adventure with downtime in hotels that are beautiful, well thought out, and quietly special. I value honesty over hype, and I focus on helping travelers avoid disappointment by choosing places that actually live up to how they’re presented.

Don was great to work with! He had some great recommendations and when we had a family emergency and needed to rebook the hotel, he jumped right in and got it done for us! He also helped us with transportation to our hotel and restaurant recommendations. We were very happy with Don's great service.

Working with Don was nothing short of ideal, he always had a prompt/intelligent response to any query we had. The entire process was seamless and his depth of experience with the locations was invaluable, we will definitely be using his services again in the future.

Exceptional! Don is very knowledgeable, thorough, and thoughtful. He made the experience so easy for us and gave us really great tips on how to prepare for our trip, what to expect as first timers to Thailand, and what to do to enjoy ourselves and the country while there. We will be working with Don again in the future and highly recommend him to others !

Don Bunnell was a pleasure to work with. We had never booked with a travel agent before, and the process was seamless and we will undoubtedly contact Don again for our future travel plans!
