My Story
Chicago-based father/teacher that likes to spend my breaks taking my family to travel the world — in a luxurious way, of course!
Travel Style
I like destinations that have culture, history, luxury and good food. As a teacher and father, I try to make sure my own travel keeps my kids entertained, my wife happy with the quality of accommodations and me happy with the learning of the history and culture of places. As a teacher, unique geographic locations make travel that much more fun!

Planning a big trip seemed so impossible to me that I never took the steps to do it. Matt made the process so simple and he supported me all the way through. His communication was clear and timely and he answered all of my questions fully. He listened to what I was searching for and narrowed down my options so I wasn’t ever overwhelmed with booking anything. He even sent links where I could book hotels and excursions so I didn’t have to navigate multiple websites. For the excursions, he ensured that I completed all required waivers and made me aware of all of the details for the bookings so I never had any hiccups with the excursions. He also provided lots of useful advice and recommendations so my vacation had a variety of unforgettable experiences. For instance, he gave us multiple options to visit places like Pearl Harbor and different types of bus and boat tours that would let us explore the islands. His expertise in traveling the world certainly contributed to the success of my trip. I highly recommend working with Matt in planning your next trip!

I cannot thank Matt enough for making our dream vacation a reality! As a first-time traveler leaving the country, I was incredibly nervous, but Matt made me feel completely comfortable from start to finish. He patiently answered every single one of my questions (even the silly ones), and his guidance made me feel safe and prepared for our trip. If you are looking for a travel agent who genuinely cares and goes the extra mile, look no further!

Matt was a 10/10! Helped us with all the questions, planning, booking, and even was there when we experienced some flight delays to communicate with our shuttle service and resort.
