Learn more about me.

I've acquired a unique perspective on luxury travel by experiencing a wide array of travel experiences throughout my life. From business and first-class seats to luxury hotels, resorts, and far-off luxury camps, luxury ships, charter aircraft and ships, my experiences and personal connections allow me to create bespoke experiences for my clients.

In addition to my personal experience, I'm a Certified Travel Advisor (CTA) from the Travel Institute and a Certified Autism Travel Professional (CATP) from the IBCCES, enabling me to create bespoke trips for sensory-sensitive/ASD individuals and their families.

When planning luxury travel experiences for my clients, the most important considerations are understanding their needs, interests, preferences, and time available. I strive to create bespoke journeys that reflect my client's unique needs and desires.

To ensure that my clients have a seamless and enjoyable travel experience, I rely on my personal connections and strong reputation with travel partners. By working with trusted partners, I can provide my clients with the best possible travel options to meet their unique needs.

What sets me apart from other luxury travel professionals is the fact that I come from a family-owned and operated company with a history dating back 100 years. Our legacy and unique planning approach, combined with our unique travel partnerships, dedicated team, 24/7 support, and advanced technology solutions, allows us to create an experience that's unique to our agency. Each of our trips represents our legacy, and after 100 years of service, we ensure our legacy continues to thrive.

One particularly memorable travel experience I planned for a client involved a combination of visiting Turkey and the Maldives - two destinations not usually paired. We arranged a private Gulet complete with a private chef, scuba gear, and all the toys for Turkey. The family sailed the coast, island-hopping and enjoying Mediterranean feasts with fresh-caught seafood daily. This was followed up by a marvelous week in the Maldives with a private overwater villa, complete with a private pool and water slide, and private seaplane transfers.

What I enjoy most about working as a luxury travel professional is sharing the world, experiences, and perspectives with travelers. Time is one of the most valuable commodities we have, and maximizing it with friends and loved ones, experiencing something spectacular, makes for the most memorable moments. Being a part of that is what drives my passion.

If you're interested in learning more about how I can help you plan a luxury travel experience that exceeds your expectations, please don't hesitate to contact me. Together, we can create a bespoke journey that reflects your unique needs and desires and creates lifelong memories.

Luxury Air Specialist

Qatar's New Q Suite Business Class

As a luxury air travel professional with decades of personal experience and relationships with major airline partners, I'm passionate about providing my clients with the best possible business and first-class air travel experience. Having grown up essentially living on an airplane (Boeing 747), I have become accustomed to seeing, hearing, and feeling things that many may miss when comparing different business and first-class seat options.

Becoming a luxury air travel professional requires first-hand experience and an understanding of the many nuances involved in providing an exceptional air travel experience. I hold preferential relationships with all of our major airline partners, and our approach to engaging with these partners ensures that our customers benefit from these relationships and a seamless travel experience.

When booking business and first-class air travel for clients, some of the most important considerations include any preferred airline affiliations, the destination, any budgetary constraints, and what kind of onboard experience a traveler seeks. I work closely with my clients to ensure that their travel experience reflects their unique needs and desires.

To ensure that my clients have the best possible experience in business and first class, I rely on my personal experience and relationships with airline partners. Leveraging our unique history, experience, and reputation with airlines, we deliver a high-touch experience to our business and first-class travelers.

What sets me apart from other luxury air travel professionals is our exclusive air support team, available 24/7, 365 days a year. Even if a disruption occurs, our team is available to step in proactively and resolve the issue for our customers without them needing to call for assistance. This high-touch service is another example of our dedication to supporting our business and first-class travelers should they need any help.

What I enjoy most about working as a luxury air travel professional is sharing the world, experiences, and perspectives with travelers. While often overlooked, I believe that the flights to and from a destination are integral to an incredible trip. Ensuring that it is a positive and enjoyable experience helps set the tone for the entire journey.

If you're interested in learning more about how I can help you plan a business or first-class air travel experience that exceeds your expectations, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Amazing honeymoon in Africa

Ian did an amazing job planning/arranging our entire honeymoon. My involvement was limited to identifying the two countries of interest (South Africa and Zimbabwe). Ian did the rest. I was impressed by the amount of activities/site we were able to fit into the two weeks without feeling rushed. Ian was even available over the weekend to help when one of our flights was cancelled due to weather. I would happily work with Ian again!

A wonderful Costa Rican adventure

Ian was a true professional and went above and beyond for our trip. His recommendations and itinerary were exactly what we needed. It is always a pleasure working with him to plan our next vacation. I would highly recommend working with him.

INCREDIBLE family trip

We're all so glad we worked with Ian and his team. We had a massive trip that required a lot of details being tended to, and a lot of conflicting priorities and preferences. Ian was able to sort it all out and determine what would be the best opportunities for us. Some of us had bigger budgets than others; some of us wanted intense hotel services, others wanted more hands-off - Ian and his team sorted all of it out ofr us, we are so happy.
