My Story

Retired from owning a financial advisory firm to traveling! I help travel clients like my financial clients — discovering what is important to them and helping them see their plans come to life.

My Travel Style

I like well-planned travel with good tools so I can relax on the trip and not worry about what is next. I enjoy maximizing my points and miles so I can elevate my travel while staying on budget.

Couldn't ask for more from a travel advisor and will certainly only be booking through him in the future.

Working with Mark Cooke from Cooke's Signature Adventures was one of the best decisions we made for our holiday in Rome. Planning a trip with a myriad of hotel options felt overwhelming, and we were so relieved to have Mark's expertise take the pressure off. He didn't just find us a room; he developed a location strategy, advising us to choose a hotel close to the action but not in it. This gave us easy walking access to all the major sights while allowing us to enjoy the authentic, less-touristed side of the city.

Mark's guidance was masterful - he presented us with a range of options, but then helped us identify the one that offered the highest value. He has a real talent for focusing on the non-financial benefits that create a truly special experience, rather than just finding the cheapest price. His personalized service gave us complete confidence in our final choice, Leon's Place.

Because of Mark's affiliation with Fora, we received perks we never would have gotten on our own. The most memorable was a nightly credit at the hotel bar, which became our favorite ritual: ending each day with a relaxing apertivo (drinks with snacks). It was a special, luxurious experience that truly elevated our stay. On top of that, we were eligible for a room upgrade, another benefit of his excellent service.

Mark was a guide to our lovely holiday in Rome. If you want a thoughtful, stress-free, and value-packed travel experience, we cannot recommend him highly enough. He will be our go-to travel advisor for all our future adventures.

On behalf of the Donegan family, thank you so much for the incredible work you and the entire Namu Travel team did to make our Panama trip unforgettable. Every detail was handled beautifully, and it truly showed from the places we visited to the experiences we enjoyed, everything was superb. THe support in Panama with excellent folks who were always ready and waiting to help us, transport us, or take us on a guided tour, this was really amazing! Everything was perfect!

It was such a pleasure working with you. Your team was fantastic, and we felt completely taken care of the entire time. Five stars all the way!

Looking forward to our next adventure together!

Mark worked very hard and spent a lot of time on our arrangements. Very knowledgeable and when there was any doubt about something, he went and got answers from the cruise line.

Mark was very communicative and quick to answer questions and any concerns that arose. He helped us pick the options that would work best for our family and everything went very smoothly.
