From Sarasota, Florida to the World

I’m a guy from Sarasota, Florida who fell in love with travel and never stopped exploring. What began as a simple backpacking trip turned into a life of adventure across more than 20 countries.

I’ve hiked the demanding Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu in Peru, ridden the incredible Ha Giang Loop in Vietnam on a motorbike, island-hopped across the most beautiful beaches in Thailand and the Philippines, trekked through dense rainforests in Costa Rica, and experienced countless other adventures in between.

I’ve slept in hostels, stayed in local homestays, missed buses, found hidden gems, and learned firsthand what makes a trip truly unforgettable. I’m still out there backpacking and exploring today.

Now, as a Fora Travel Advisor, I combine everything I’ve learned on the road with professional tools, premium suppliers, and insider access to help others travel better. Whether you want an authentic adventure, a comfortable upgrade to the backpacker experience, or a completely custom trip, I use real experience — not just brochures — to make it happen.

My goal is simple: to help you create trips that are smoother, smarter, and more meaningful than you could plan on your own.

When you work with me, you’re not just getting a travel advisor — you’re getting someone who’s actually been there and knows what works.
