About Me

Fully Customized Vacation Specialist

I have six years of travel industry experience and am now working for myself. I operate a boutique, concierge-style travel agency that values the individual. I don't take on a zillion clients and process cookie-cutter travel plans. Instead, I specialize in customizing once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences tailor-made for your preferences, budget, and standards. I know that your time is valuable, and more importantly, I recognize that leisure travel is a form of self-care and therapy. Planning travel, however, can be overwhelming and incredibly stressful. Self-care and stress do not mix! That's why I'm here to help you really ENJOY the vacation process.

I am here to take care of every aspect of your trip from planning and booking, to traveling and relaxing, so you can stick to dreaming about the vacation to come. I individualize each and every travel experience we sell, because each traveling party is different.  Our passion lies in the individual and treating each trip like it's the only one in the world. I treat each client as though they're my only one, and my commitment to that level of service is what both sets my agency apart and gives your experience added meaning.

 

Where Can I Send You?

Edinburgh, Scotland
Edinburgh, Scotland

I have extensive experience with, and knowledge of, planning dream vacations for customers of all ages. From Spring Break to honeymoons, golden anniversaries to family summer trips, my passion is to curate a memorable, meaningful gold-star vacation for each and every traveler. I have booked vacations to six continents and have traveled to three in my own journeys. My travels have taken me everywhere from Fiji to Romania, and many points in between. The bulk of my travel and agency experience involves solo and group trips to Europe, family and romantic all-inclusive getaways in the Caribbean, and adventure travel off the beaten trail in Asia, South America, and Oceania.

Thanks David and Fair Winds Travel!
Reviewed By Sarah - Annapolis, Maryland | Traveled to England ~ Europe
David was a big help with all the planning, and was happy to answer many questions from this first-time traveler overseas. He made the process easy, and was able to find exactly what we needed in tours and accommodations to make our trip enjoyable. He also helped us come home a day earlier than planned, which was no small feat. Thanks David!

SW USA Trip
Reviewed By Larry Sells - Millersville, ND | Traveled to Grand Canyon | Arizona | USA
David put together the perfect plan for our SW USA trip that included Grand Canyon in AZ. Bryce Canyon and Antelope Canyon in Utah, Las Vegas and seeing the Eagles at the Sphere and Sedona, AZ. ALL hotels were just perfect including an overnight stay in a dome hotel in Utah. David was great to work with and totally understood what we wanted to do and his plan was perfect.

Italy Trip of a lifetime
Reviewed By Runashb1 - Severna Park MD | Traveled to Italy | Europe
David hit the mark on every aspect of our trip. From planning, to coordinating, to peace of mind. Having David is exactly what one needs when planning a trip of this magnitude. We would definitely work with David again. He is consultative, collaborative, and has lots of great vacation ideas. This trip would not have been possible without David and his services. 5 star all around.

Amazing European Adventure
Reviewed By hpfaff - Arnold, MD | Traveled to Europe
David planned the perfect trip for us to the Mediterranean! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. From our canal-front room in Venice to expertly curated excursions with private tours, we had an amazing time making memories as a family on this European adventure. I'd highly recommend David for all your travel needs!

Amazing trip to Japan
Reviewed By Mike F. - Long Beach, CA | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
We just returned from a 2-week tour of Japan planned by Fair Winds Travel Agency. The majority of the trip was a pre-planned Globus tour that included sightseeing and meals. However, when the tour provided "free time", David provided many options for informative side excursions, local transportation insight, and excellent restaurant recommendations. David also provided details to make Japanese immigration and return to the USA go very smoothly. We will be using Fair Winds exclusively from now on.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Client Testimonials

Ideal Honeymoon in Italy
"I typically love planning trips, but when it came to planning my honeymoon to Italy, I was bogged down by figuring out transportation between cities and the overwhelm of activities/tours to schedule each day. David put me and my fiancé at ease by developing a few different itineraries based on our interests."
Sara H., Crownsville, Maryland
Wonderful Trip to Wales
“David presented options, listened to our feedback, and finalized the details we chose. Help at the end of the trip with a slight change to itinerary was priceless. We would recommend Fair Winds Travel because of the ease, the quality of service, and David’s friendliness, knowledge, and attention to detail.”
