About
Hi, I’m Ruben — currently based in Bergen County, NJ. I come from a finance background, but planning travel has always been my thing. I'm the go-to person in my circle when it comes to putting together trips that are smooth, well-paced, and full of great food and memorable moments. Now I help clients do the same — blending thoughtful planning, VIP perks, and experiences you won’t find in a Google search. Whether you know exactly where you want to go or need a little inspiration, I’m here to make the process feel easy, personal and actually fun. Let’s plan something great together. Reach out anytime to inquire or schedule a quick consultation. I’d love to hear what kind of trip you’re dreaming about.
Travel style
I’m all about crafting trips that feel effortless, intentional, and far from cliché. To me, the best travel experiences are a mix of smart planning and the freedom to go with the flow. That means paying attention to the details that matter, such as timing, budget and balancing downtime with adventure, while still leaving room for spontaneity. I love discovering new places that have a real sense of character, whether it's a boutique hotel tucked away in a cool neighborhood or a local restaurant that totally catches you by surprise. I lean into authentic experiences, not just tourist checklists, and I’m big on making sure your trip actually fits you. So if you're someone who wants to skip the cookie-cutter itinerary and experience something that's equal parts fun, smooth, and unforgettable — you're in the right hands.

Ruben was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He made the entire travel planning process incredibly easy and seamless. What really stood out was how attentively he listened to all of my needs and preferences — nothing felt overlooked. He offered thoughtful suggestions, stayed within my budget, and handled every detail with professionalism and care. I felt confident and well taken care of throughout the whole experience. Thanks to Ruben, my trip was smooth, enjoyable, and exactly what I was hoping for. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch travel advisor!
