My Story
I'm a dad, foodie and adventurer. I've traveled to over 70 countries — backpacking in remote corners of the world, enjoying luxurious five-star hotels and everything in between.
Travel Style
I love getting the most "bang for your buck" and maximizing my points, miles and cash to unlock incredible luxury experiences for a fraction of the regular price. I love a fine-dining restaurant and a good pool, but I'll also never turn down trying the street food or getting muddy on a hike.

We are so grateful we were able to work with Greg to plan our honeymoon! He was very knowledgeable about Hawaii and made the entire booking process feel easy and effortless for us. Greg really listened to us when we shared what vibes we were looking for for this trip and recommended hotels that fit exactly what we needed. In a sea of many options, his expertise was clear and we couldn't have been happier! Plus, he helped us get an upgraded room and had champagne and a personal note waiting for us upon arrival. This made our trip feel even more special. Looking forward to working with Greg again on a future trip!

Greg is the best! His expertise for our Italy trip were amazing! He suggested and set up our hotels and assisted with the flight arrangements also. Hotels were located in prime spots that made it easy to travel to restaurants and shopping areas. Greg can guide you on any tour or travel advise you need! My wife and I will use him again in the future for any travel! Thank you Greg! First class service all around!

Working with Greg Ellison from Fora was the best decision we made for our honeymoon. From start to finish, he made the entire planning process seamless, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable. Greg helped us find the best flights using our credit card points—something that would’ve taken us hours to figure out on our own—and his expertise saved us both time and money.
He recommended the perfect hotels in every city we wanted to visit, handled all the bookings, and even secured special perks and upgrades at each property. We were greeted with thoughtful notes from him along the way, which made every stop feel personal and special. Each hotel was exceptional—beautiful views, spotless rooms, amazing service, and delicious food.
Greg also helped coordinate our day-to-day travel logistics between destinations, ensuring everything flowed smoothly. His deep knowledge of each place we visited made our experience richer and more meaningful. He even assisted with travel insurance, which ended up being incredibly helpful.
Thanks to Greg, our honeymoon was truly the trip of a lifetime. We didn’t have to worry about a single detail, and everything exceeded our expectations. I will never plan another trip without reaching out to him first!

The Golden Route of Japan in 10 Days
I traveled to Japan in March 2024 with my family, including my 1-year-old daughter. Japan is one of my favorite countries on earth, due to its striking natural beauty, history and unique culture. Combine this with the efficient transportation infrastructure, cleanliness, service-oriented hospitality and relative strength of the US Dollar against the yen, Japan is one of the most approachable countries in the world to travel to.

The Perfect 7-Day Japan Itinerary
Japan is an ideal destination for first time visitors to Asia due to its captivating blend of tradition and modernity, as well as an efficient transportation infrastructure, low crime and renowned hospitality. Not only that, but the U.S. Dollar’s strength against the Yen makes Japan more affordable than ever.
Japan is a land of contrasts. Its rich cultural heritage, ancient temples and serene gardens somehow blend together seamlessly with its modern architecture and cosmopolitan energy. When you consider its status as one of the best food destinations in the world, there is nowhere else like Japan.
With only 7 days in the country, this itinerary hits all the highlights. You’ll start off in bustling Tokyo, with its incredible atmosphere and opportunities to explore. Next, you’ll take the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Kyoto, where you’ll experience the old Japanese capital and its stunning beauty as you explore the winding alleyways, temples and nature that make this city so famous. To end the trip, you’ll travel to the mountainous region of Hakone to stay at a Japanese ryokan, which offers the unique experience of relaxing in an in-room onsen (hot spring) and enjoying multi-course kaiseki meals while taking in the stunning natural scenery.
