My Story
Adventurer at heart, I’m a proud father of three and a happy husband to my wife, Diane. Growing up, I developed a love for travel that has only deepened over the years. Together with my family, I explore the world — whether it’s sailing the open seas or discovering new corners of the globe. When I’m not out adventuring, you can find me building something new in the Bay Area and living life to the fullest.
My Travel Style
If you're looking for a travel advisor who truly understands the joys and challenges of exploring the world, look no further. I grew up traveling throughout California, Mexico, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. I was immersed in diverse cultures and landscapes from a young age. My journey continued with stints living in mainland China, Hawai'i and Italy — experiences that shaped my deep passion for global exploration. Now, as a father with a family who shares that same wanderlust, I know firsthand how important it is to find experiences that cater to every member of the family, whether you're staying at a traditional hotel, setting off on a cruise or enjoying a VIP sailing holiday in a warm paradise. I bring not only a wealth of travel knowledge but also a personal, family-oriented perspective to help you create the perfect getaway tailored to your interests and needs. Let's make your dream vacation a reality!

I didn’t do much, the booking was perfect for a mother’s 24 hour get away. The space was zen, the beds were comfy, the room service was spot on and the spa is a “must return .” Great pick Garry!

I recently took a trip to San Diego and had an awesome experience thanks to Garry. He really took the time to understand what I needed and helped me find the perfect spot—and saved me money in the process! Garry gets a solid 5 out of 5 from me. The hotel was clean, the staff was friendly, and it worked well for the trip. While the furnishings could have been a bit more modern or upscale, it still did the job just fine—I'd give the hotel a 4 out of 5 overall. Thanks again, Garry! Would definitely work with you again.
