My Story

An NYC-based advisor that loves hotels, food and a great atmosphere.

My Travel Style

I've got a philosophy that most trips fall between two categories: vacationing vs. traveling. When I want to go on vacation, I'm ready to lay by a pool with margaritas being brought to my chair while I look out at the ocean without a care in the world. On the other hand, if I want to travel, I'm ready to be immersed in a city-center bouncing between the best restaurants, bars, shops and historical sites. I love both types of trips and often do a little of each on a long itinerary.

I reached out to Matthew because my friends and I were having trouble finding a cozy retreat spot and were busy at work, so searching for locations became difficult. Matthew took our preferences into consideration (drivable from DC, rural, budget, cozy, onsite wine or restaurant, etc) and quickly found a couple spots. Once we decided, Matthew promptly booked our spot and the rest was easy! He even hopped on the phone with Choice Hotels support to sort something out with my Choice rewards number, so it was a relief that he was able to take care of everything. We would definitely go back to this resort and use Matthew's expert services again! Thank you!

Matthew was incredible, I gave him a few thoughts on what sort of anniversary weekend I wanted and he found so many amazing options for us. Cordevalle felt like a hidden gem that I never would have found on my own and fit my vision for our weekend perfectly. Super impressed by the list Matthew curated and so grateful he found the best resort for us!

Matthew was the first travel advisor I've worked with, and boy have I been missing out! He was so responsive with his communications, knowledgeable with hotel and neighborhood suggestions, and helpful with his booking. He made planning my trip such a seamless process. I highly recommend using Matthew to help book your next trip. I can't wait to work with him on our next trip!

Matthew listened to my needs and booked me the perfect stay in DC. He communicated with me and the hotel to make sure everything was better than expected. I had a handwritten note, fruit and prosecco in my room and a food and beverage credit at the restaurant.
