No two travelers are the same—and your trip shouldn’t be either. I design personalized itineraries tailored to your travel style, goals, group size, and timeframe. 

You'll receive expert recommendations and booking support for guides, private or group tours, flights, hotels, and transportation, plus insights on both must-see landmarks and hidden local gems. Every suggestion is carefully selected from trusted partners, local connections, and my own firsthand travel experience.

Each itinerary is backed by hours of research, years of insider knowledge, and exclusive opportunities you simply won’t find through a Google search.   Best of all, if you're using points, I'll seamlessly integrate a smart mileage strategy into your travel plan.

Personalized Trip Design

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the complexity of miles and points, you’re not alone. With nearly 20 years of experience, I developed a  smarter, more strategic approach called The W.H.E.R.E. Method™—a practical framework that starts with your travel goals and works backward, identifying the exact points, cards, and loyalty programs you’ll need to achieve them.

You'll receive a clear, personalized roadmap and guidance on setting up automated tools for effortless tracking and redemptions. Plus, I can seamlessly integrate your points strategy with broader trip planning—from hotels to cruises—for maximum value.

Finally, you can join the waitlist for my private, membership-based Award Booking Service—offered to only a select number of clients at a time, ensuring meticulous attention to detail, expert guidance, and the highest level of personalized service.

No two travelers are alike—your trip shouldn’t be either. I create personalized itineraries tailored to your style, goals, and timeframe, including expert recommendations and booking support for tours, flights, hotels, and memorable local experiences.

Each itinerary is backed by hours of research, years of insider knowledge, and exclusive opportunities you simply won’t find through a Google search. Plus, if you're using points, I’ll seamlessly integrate a smart mileage strategy into your travel plan.

I specialize in helping clients find unique hotels that turn a trip something truly memorable—whether it’s an overwater villa in the Maldives, a safari lodge in South Africa, an ice hotel in the Laplands or a glass pod suspended on the side of a mountain in Peru.

Once I understand your travel goals, I’ll curate a short list of extraordinary properties that match your pace, style, and budget—always factoring in seasonality, weather, and location. And when you book through me, you’ll often get VIP perks like upgrades, breakfast, resort credits, and late checkout—all at the same rate you'd pay on your own.  

Unique Hotel Stays

When I travel, I love to eat.  I’ll happily wait in line at a street food stall that's perfected one dish for generations, seek out tasting menus from up-and-coming chefs pushing creative boundaries, or wander local markets to understand what people genuinely love to eat. Then I take those insights and experiences and bring them directly to you.

From cooking classes and market tours to Michelin-starred dining, wineries, and unforgettable omakase experiences, I’ll design a culinary journey specifically suited to your tastes.

"Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown"

Anthony Bourdain 

We thought Alaska would be incredible—what we didn’t expect was how much better it would be thanks to Brad. He helped us choose the perfect cruise line, explained the difference between itineraries, and made sure we had the right excursions lined up. It was unforgettable. Now, he tells us we have to try the Norwegian Fjords which is supposed to be more amazing than Alaska. 

- Kristen W. | Denver,Co

Our two-week trip to Japan and Thailand was one of the best we’ve ever taken—and Brad was the reason why. He found us incredible local guides that made the experience feel personal and authentic, not touristy. And the food? Unreal. His receommendations were some of the best meals we've ever eaten. The best part? He helped us find business class seats all on points--i still dont know how he pulled that off. 

- Tyler & AShley| Chicago,IL

I worked with Brad just to book a few hotel nights and ended up getting a free upgrade, breakfast, late checkout, and an amazing stay—all for the same rate I found online. He also recommended two restaurants that ended up being the highlight of our weekend.
