Meet your travel advisor
Hi, I’m Mark.
I believe travel should feel exciting before you leave—not overwhelming. My role is to turn a collection of possibilities into a thoughtful, organized journey that feels genuinely yours.
My background leading complex development and project-management programs taught me how to coordinate many moving parts without losing sight of the people at the center. I bring that same organization, care, and attention to detail to travel planning.
I put that approach to work on my own trips too. In 2025, I spent time in Athens and Mykonos — pairing a private guide at the Acropolis with a food-tasting tour, a TukTuk ride through the city at night, and a slower, unhurried day wandering Mykonos Town. More recently, I spent ten days at a newly built resort in Costa Mujeres with friends, comparing suite categories firsthand and taking a day trip to Isla Mujeres by golf cart. You can read the full stories on my Travel Notes blog.
My own travels have also taken me to Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Ireland, England, Finland, Canada, and destinations across South America. Those experiences have taught me how much the pace, location, and small details shape the way a journey feels — and they inform every itinerary I build, not just the ones I write about.
From the architecture and culture of Europe to resorts, coastal escapes, and memorable trips with friends, I enjoy helping travelers make smart choices and look forward to the journey ahead.
Let’s design a journey worth remembering.
