I am a Travel Agent who works with family & friend groups to create memorable experiences and maximize their time together on the most luxurious cruise vacations that the Mexican Riviera & Caribbean have to offer.  

I'm passionate about developing organic opportunities for your group to deepen relationships and create life-long memories together."

Make today your best yesterday! 

Today is the day to make memories worth talking about.

Arranging travel for my amazing clients is incredibly rewarding, almost as much as traveling myself.

Book your  30-minute over-the-phone Caribbean Cruise Group Planning Session, let's see if we'd be a good fit to work together.

I'd love the opportunity to match you up with your perfect vacation experience.

My goal is to guide you from an idea, toward planning a vacation and coordinating the various details, through to the departing airport, toward the trip of a lifetime.

I'd love to become your trusted Travel Agent. Let's talk and see if we work well together.

My Travel Adventures

Having been raised by what I affectionately call a tree-hugger, I care very much about leaving a small carbon footprint, so I most especially enjoy 'ecotourism', however, I am not averse to being pampered and enjoy a good cruise or all-inclusive resort.

  • I love backpacking and exploring.
  • As a lifelong resident of Northern California, I've probably been to Yosemite National Park 100+ times in over 40 years.
  • Spending a month in Hawaii as a teen was my first time on an airplane and when the travel bug began. I've been back 7 times since then.
  • Even though Travel Agents have access to the world's most exotic resorts and travel itineraries, I will always love road trips and have been on more than I can count.
  • Cruising is a great way to enjoy the world and get spoiled at the same time. My wife and I love to cruise and do it as often as we can. Right now, my favorite ship is the Princess Discovery.
  • By far the most impactful trip I have taken is 2 weeks in South Africa. To see the third world and Western civilization clash is something everyone should experience. Talk about having a greater appreciation for everything!

I can't wait to bring you in touch with your passion as we create your adventures together.

    Once a year getaway
    Our experience with untold adventures travel has been excellent from start to finish… From the moment I called them to arrange our trip to the follow up phone call I received after our return to make sure everything went smoothly… They have been a real pleasure to work with… I told them where we wanted to go...when we wanted to be there... And what we wanted to do while we were there... As simple as that… In no time we received flight , Hotel accommodations And entertainment confirmations for everything we requested. Things could not have went any smoother for our trip… My wife and I had a great time... We will highly recommend untold adventures travel to our friends and look forward to using them again in the future. Thank you Tim

    First-time Cruiser
    Tim was very helpful throughout the booking process and even went above and beyond to give us helpful travel tips along with ways we can save on future cruises. He was also very patient with our indecisiveness early on, as there was a lot of things we were juggling in the beginning stages of planning. Would highly recommend Untold Adventures to anyone looking to plan a trip whether you are a new or seasoned traveler! (via Yelp)
