About Me

Looking out to the world, in Cape Town!
Looking out to the world, in Cape Town!

My passion is travel! Having sold my advertising agency, I bought half of a travel agency and reimagined it. We're redefining luxury travel by curating deeply personalized experiences built on strong global partnerships. Our focus is on crafting meaningful and well-considered journeys for discerning clients. My aim is to create exceptional travel experiences that our clients will adore and to cultivate this same client-centric approach within our team of travel advisors.

I've explored a ton of incredible places around the world – from Southeast Asia and Japan to New Zealand, Australia, and all across the Americas and the Caribbean. Living in Europe for a while gave me a real feel for its different cultures, which adds a deeper layer to all my travel experiences. Because I've seen so much firsthand and built great connections with people on the ground, I love creating really special, off-the-beaten-path trips for clients. Think unique local finds, amazing food and wine, and real chances to connect with communities wherever they go.

So, who are we at 58 Stars? We create tailored, seamless, custom travel insider-style itineraries that leave our clients soul-struck and awe-inspired. Wanderlust, wonder, and insatiable curiosity course through our veins. And we chose 58 Stars as a name because from the earliest days, like-minded explorers used the same 58 stars to navigate the unknown. They trusted these stars. Revered these stars. And we decided that if explorers could use these stars to navigate the globe, why couldn't we highlight them to navigate our clients to some of the most incredible destinations around the globe? 58 Stars brings the world to our clients and brings our clients deep inside the worlds they crave, with connections that run deep and far. When I plan a vacation for a client, I want to leave them soul-struck and awe-inspired. Travel is about the journey and the destination, and I want to be there to handle it for you so all you have to do is take it all in.

So, if you’re ready to work with a passionate traveler who understands how to create experiences that will stay in your heart forever, then I’m here for you. My goal is to listen, learn and then deliver your dream vacation.

Total confidence in Mike and 58 Stars Travel
Reviewed By The returning travelers - Edmonds, WA | Traveled to New Zealand ~ Australia & New Zealand
Mike was fantastic. He was knowledgeable of the many travel options and helped us select the perfect trip. After that he responded to our concerns, immediately returning our calls or emails, contacting the tour operator immediately, resolving any of our questions. We have used Mike and the agency at least twice before with the same exceptional experiences

HIRE AN EXPERT!
Reviewed By Kimberly L - SEATTLE | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
This summer, I hired a travel agent for the first time in my life, and learned one thing: I will NEVER book another trip by myself. Working with Mike Salvadore was quick, easy, completely painless, and absolutely fabulous! When I called Mike, I was extremely far behind on my travel plans-I was simply stuck. I was traveling to a country that I'd never visited, and I didn't know where to begin.

Mike met with me for a short period of time, and asked me questions about the types of things that my family likes to do on vacation, as well as budget and timing. The next thing I knew, Mike & his team presented a detailed presentation of our trip. This was not an easy trip to book. The trip included flights to several island locations, cars to inland destinations, and local-flavor excursions. One great surprise was the wondrful private tour guide that took us to see the ruins in Delphi and Olympia. Mike also found the MOST fabulous hotels, And most importantly, it was all EASY !
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

My Travel Stories

Springtime in France and Spain!

I've been to France many times, and actually lived there for nearly a year. I've explored the countryside from the north to the south and have come to love every nook and cranny of it. But, with all of my travels to France, I had only been to Spain once, for a very short time. So, this trip was focused on exploration of Spain. While we couldn't ...

Desert by Jordan!

Jordan - An incredible oasis in the Middle East

Jordan was not on my bucket list, but i had the chance to go and spend 10 days and came back raving about every element of my experience. This country is literally an oasis in the midst of challenges, but it is truly a gem of the Middle East.  We explored Amman and realized that this city was so rich with history, culture, incredible food...
