Where Luxury Meets Adventure — With a Dash of Yeti Spirit!

**Finalist for the inaugural 2026 ASTA Adventure Travel Specialist Award **

Hello, I’m David — founder of Travel Yeti’s Dream Vacations and professional dream-builder for those who believe their passport deserves more stamps than dust.

Some travel advisors “book trips.” I create stories you’ll tell for a lifetime. Whether it’s sipping champagne on the deck of a Regent Seven Seas cruise, hiking through the misty Highlands of Scotland, or finding that perfect overwater villa where the Wi-Fi barely reaches (and that’s a feature, not a flaw), I help you experience the world your way — seamlessly, stylishly, and stress-free.

After decades of global travel — from military deployments and corporate boardrooms to luxury cruise decks — I discovered my real calling: crafting journeys that balance luxury with authenticity, and a little sense of adventure worthy of a Yeti.

What Makes Travel Yeti's Different

At Travel Yeti’s Dream Vacations, every itinerary begins with a conversation — about what excites you, what relaxes you, and what makes you say, “That’s exactly what I need right now.”

My clients come to me for:

  • Luxury cruises that redefine indulgence (think butlers, caviar, and zero stress).
  • All-inclusive escapes that pair effortless relaxation with five-star flair.
  • Tailored adventures from the Galápagos to the Amalfi Coast, designed for travelers who crave both comfort and curiosity.
  • Private groups and celebration trips where every detail is handled — so you can focus on making memories, not managing logistics.

My Story (and How the Yeti Was Born)

I’ve been fortunate to see the world through many lenses: as an Air Force veteran, a global executive, and now as a luxury travel advisor who’s turned passion into profession. The “Travel Yeti” name came from clients who joked that I’m always exploring somewhere new — but I prefer to think of it as my spirit guide for adventure: strong, curious, a little mythical, and always leaving footprints in extraordinary places.

I’ve built deep relationships with top cruise lines, resorts, and tour partners across the globe. That means you get insider access, exclusive perks, and VIP touches that make your trip feel special before you even pack your bags.

My Promise

Travel should never feel transactional. When you work with me, you gain a trusted advisor who listens, anticipates, and elevates every detail of your experience. From the first “what if” to the final “wow,” my goal is simple: to help you travel better than you ever imagined.Whether you’re chasing sunsets, savoring slow travel, or celebrating life’s biggest milestones — I’ll be your Yeti guide through it all.

So, where shall we go next?

Adventures Ahead,

David Johnson

Great family trip to Costa Rica
Reviewed By LSanchez - Pueblo, Colorado | Traveled to Costa Rica | Central America
Making reservations with David was easy. He was very communicative and responded quickly to any questions. He made certain that we were prepared for all stages of our trip. Once we arrived we had a wonderful time at Planet Hollywood in Costa Rica. The resort was clean, had great food, and a beautiful view. There were always activities and people available to help with any questions. When we arrived back home, David checked in with us to discuss our experience and see if we had any questions or concerns. I would give our experience with David 5 stars!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Client Testimonials

Custom Europe Delight
David, our Travel Yeti, has really been amazing for us: he listens carefully to what we are looking for, and keeps at it till we get there, with bookings, tour ideas, places to find good food. We've never felt like we were "last in line", so to speak -- timely responses, and willingness to help us rethink previous ideas till we feel comfortable with our decisions. He is enjoying repeat business from us!

Cruise Group Satisfaction
We asked David to prepare a Cruise proposal in time for a meeting with our fellow travelers. It was extremely short notice. He came through with great information! When we booked the cruise his followup was fast and comprehensive! I recommend David for your Cruise/Travel needs!

Italy and Greece Delight!
Let me start by saying, WOW! We had an amazing time! The hotels, tours, and transfers were all first rate! Great locations, skipping lines, and exclusive access to sites/experiences others were totally jealous of. Italy. Venice, Verona, Florence & Rome. The hotel locations and accommodations were fantastic! All excursions were what I would call must-do. Colosseum underground, Pisa, Vatican, Pompeii, museums, all awesome! Greece. OMG! The hotel in Athens was fantastic with a great rooftop lounge area. We sat up there every night and watched the sunset over the acropolis and then watched the Acropolis lights come on. Mykonos and Santorini were even more magical still! The tour of Delos was a top experience. David, thank you for helping us put this together! Everyone really, really enjoyed this trip. You clearly listened to what we wanted and made it happen. We will definitely be in touch to plan our next trip! Maybe Machu Picchu and Galapagos next year?!
