My Story

A reader on the road, a runner of routes and a ringleader in the realm of remarkable journeys.

Travel Style

After twenty years in the travel business—I’ve realized a few things. Luxury, for one, is about perception. A well-matched hotel can elevate a trip, but it’s never the only thing that makes it feel special. The right company matters more. If my wife and two teenage boys are happy, then so am I.

I’m a planner at heart, which means I love a good checklist (and the parentheses that come with it). I care about ownership—local places with local stories, where money stays in the community. I care about logistics—because the best hotel in the world doesn’t matter much if you can’t get there easily. And I care about learning—give me a museum in the morning and free time to wander in the afternoon.

I also believe in running shoes and good books. If a hotel has a decent treadmill, or better yet, a great library with someone who loves to talk about books, then I’m set.

Reid provides us with exceptional value. He is the most knowledgeable person about Africa I have ever talked to, so we were in good hands. I thought the trip was extremely high end and at a very fair price. Our honeymoon could not have been more special. We will definitely use Reid again.

Reid is the best in the biz. He should be in charge of everything.

Reid Bader’s expertise in the travel industry shows in every trip that he plans for us. Focusing on what we’d enjoy the most and the ease in which we’d like to do it, his advice and direction have made our trips worry-free. He gave us choices in hotels at varying rates and he gave us his professional opinion when we asked what he recommended. All of this was done with “what we’d like best” in his mind, a phrase that repeatedly came out in our communications, which were prompt and friendly. We are pleased that Reid is our travel agent and will continue to book with him in our future trips.

Our travel plans were made so much easier by working with Reid Bader, whose travel services we have used several times in the past. Reid communicated with us immediately on any questions we asked, was accommodating when we modified our dates, and answered all our questions in regards to logistics on where we were going. He also offered more help should we need it, assisting us with our car rental as well. Our trip went smoothly because of his help. We look forward to working with him again soon and also recommending him to our friends.

travel to Galveston

Reid pulled out all the stops with this last minute, spontaneous request of ours. There was no availability anywhere in Galveston so we couldn’t have been more surprised that not only could Reid find us space but somewhere that was perfectly located and exceeded our expectations.
