With decades of traveling under my belt, I am the ultimate travel expert you can trust to plan your next incredible journey. I had my first flight at a day old in Germany, and ever since, I've had a lifelong love affair with exploration, wandering through 3 continents and 18 countries (and counting!). After honing my organization and trip planning skills during a whirlwind 6-year period where I barely spent more than 4 days in one place, I've become a master of maximizing every minute of travel. My insider knowledge of booking flights, hotels, transportation, and more is unparalleled, allowing me to create seamless, stress-free itineraries tailored to your travel style. But I'm more than just a savvy planner - I'm a passionate storyteller with a knack for finding those special, serendipitous moments that transform a trip into an unforgettable experience. With my Wide-Eyed perspective, I'll inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and embrace the unknown, whether you're trekking through exotic locales or simply discovering domestic hidden gems. Behind my infectious enthusiasm lies a wealth of real-world expertise. As the son of a truck driver and a nephew of a seasoned travel agent, I grew up immersed in the world of transportation and tourism. My own decade-plus of globetrotting has equipped me with the skills to navigate any travel challenge, from visa requirements to loyalty program optimization. And with a persistent herniated disk and a recent pericarditis diagnosis, I've learned to travel mindfully, offering sage advice for managing health and mobility concerns on the road. Whether you're an experienced jetsetter or a budding explorer, I'm your trusted guide to unlocking the world's most incredible destinations. Let me craft your next unforgettable adventure - your only job is to pack your bags and keep those eyes wide open!
