About
Curious and intrepid travel researcher and itinerary builder. I'm not sure if I enjoy planning travel or taking advantage of a well-planned trip more!

Travel style
I have a very versatile travel style and am just as comfortable summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro as I am indulging at a luxury resort in the Maldives or meandering the streets of Lisbon in search of the cutest cafe or tastiest restaurant. For me, travel is all about the connection and experiences you're able to make with old friends and locals alike.

Booked travel to Zürich

Riker was swift, and has an impeccable attention to detail like when asking if flowers, wine or cookies would be preferred at checkin. He checked in to ensure the stay was going well and followed up after checkout to ensure we were happy with our accommodations. He went above and beyond to make our stay seamless and effortless from start to finish!

The booking experience with Riker was exceptional. He gave us plenty of suggestions and steered us in the direction we wanted to go, he understood what we were looking for. The tips and the suggestions demonstrated the depth of his understanding of the trip we were on and the experience we were looking for. We know who our travel agent is.

Riker found us the perfect spot! He presented several great options, and I’m glad we went with the Fairmont — we were upgraded to a deluxe suite, were greeted with chocolates to our room when we arrived, and had other great amenities. Thank you!
