About Blue Sky Journeys
Hi, I'm Brad.
I’ve loved travel for as long as I can remember—annoying my sister with constant airport questions, memorizing every aircraft type, and launching a cruise-focused travel website as a teenager. After earning my degree from Cornell’s Hotel School, sailing the globe with Semester at Sea, and backpacking around the world, I joined Celebrity Cruises in the shipboard hotel operations, learning the travel industry inside and out.
Over the past 16 years, I’ve flown millions of miles in premium cabins, stayed at some of the finest hotels worldwide, and discovered how to travel smarter and more strategically. My true passion is using this deep knowledge to help others experience travel they may never have imagined possible—whether choosing the best cruise line for them, navigating airports, optimizing points, or discovering unforgettable local food experiences.
Iwas born to do this
As a Virtuoso-affiliated advisor and preferred partner of every major luxury hotel brand, I’ve planned trips for honeymooners, families, groups, and fellow travel obsessives. Some clients prefer hands-on support, others just need smart advice and exclusive perks—either way, I'm here to help.

03. South Africa
02. Norwegian Fjords Cruise
Thailand is a masterclass in contrasts—in the best way. You can spend the morning exploring ornate temples, grab street food in a bustling Bangkok night market, then sit down to a Michelin-star tasting menu that evening. Combine that with world-class beaches and a culture of genuine hospitality, and it’s a destination that never disappoints.

Destinations
A Few of My Favorite
A lot of travelers do Alaska—but sailing through Norway’s fjords is something else entirely. Compared to Alaska’s rugged grandeur, you’ll find calm waters, towering cliffs, and quiet villages tucked along the shore. To this day, one of my all-time favorite memories is hiking above Geirangerfjord, gazing out at a view that still resonates decades later.
South Africa is one of those rare places that gives you everything:vibrant cities, stunning coastlines, unforgettable cuisine, and the raw magic of a safari. Cape Town invites exploration, from climbing iconic Table Mountain and sipping wines in the surrounding vineyards, to spotting penguins at Boulders Beach and experiencing truly memorable dining.
Then suddenly, a few days later in Kruger National Park, you're face-to-face with elephants crossing right beside your vehicle. It’s a scene so unexpectedly intimate and genuine that you’ll replay it in your mind for years.
Many travelers choose Alaska—but cruising Norway’s fjords offers something truly special, with calm waters, soaring cliffs, and charming coastal villages. My hike above Geirangerfjord remains one of my favorite travel memories ever.
Thailand is a destination of contrasts—from bustling Bangkok street markets and Michelin-starred dining to serene beaches, dazzling temples, and genuinely warm hospitality. It's a place you'll always want to return to.
