My Story

A Michigan-based travel enthusiast who is always looking at maps and researching "where to next?"

Travel Style

I like to mix classic tourist attractions with off-the-beaten-path experiences when traveling somewhere new. When in France, get out of Paris! (Don't get me wrong. I love Paris.) Rent a car or get on a train and explore the French countryside. The same is true for Italy or Germany and so many places. I build itineraries to see as much as possible but also not to pack too much in and overwhelm. Want to see everything in one city and stay in one location? Great! Want to explore multiple locations? Awesome! Everything is built to my clients' preferences. Every timeline and budget can be accommodated. Travel can be luxurious but also doesn't have to break the bank. In my own experiences, I've done solo travel, group travel with friends and couple travel with my wife. Now that we have three boys, I am getting into family travel as well, with all the extra needs that kids require.

From one-night stays, to month-long adventures, let me build your dream trip.

Kenny was wonderful. He was super attentive to our needs and responded promptly and proactively--he made the entire process of planning a rather daunting, weeks-long European trip approachable and easy for first timers. Will happily make sure Kenny is our TA going forward!

Kenny goes above & beyond. He is super responsive, answers questions quickly, and is always thinking ahead to solve for things we wouldn’t have even thought of! He was readily available for us for an “in the moment” question that was critical for us to get to our resort - if it wasn’t for Kenny intervening it would have been such a headache! Knowing he had our back made a huge difference! We will continue to use Kenny’s services for our travel and recommend him to family/friends!!

Kenny was SO helpful finding and booking the perfect place for our family to stay on our vacation to Marathon in the Florida Keys! He paid great attention to detail with what we were looking for and set us up with the perfect rental for our stay which really made it a great experience overall. We're grateful for your help and expertise, Kenny!

Kenny went above and beyond with planning our trip. From the first email to the last, his attention to detail was great and he really took into consideration our vacation style and preferences. He made a ton of recommendations along the way for places to visit and things to do. He was always very detailed and thorough in every email he sent, giving us options for places to stay in each city. Even after he booked one hotel stay for us, he found an even better and cheaper one with a large table (for gaming) that he sent to us. We would recommend Kenny and his love of travel to anyone who wants to plan a trip!
