About Me

Hello, my name is Josh. 

I’m your friendly neighborhood travel designer. 

You dream it, we are here to help make it a reality.  Bigger picture planning to the finer details about where your wanderlust draws you.  Being your personal guide is my number one goal. 

A lifelong explorer, I am best suited to serve travelers:

1/  Slow travelers (solo, couples and groups)

Travel to you is about immersing yourself in a culture.  Wherever you are, you’re not in a hurry. 

Meeting the locals is your style.Urban walks, day trips beyond cities, and guidance on how to make a plan on short notice without causing stress.

2/  Entertainment Tourism

Live music and sporting events are an inspiration for your travel adventures. 

Go on tour with your favorite band, crossing oceans for music festivals, road trip weekends with your sports team (college and professional). 

Premier League, World Cup, College football, NBA playoffs, NFL regional rivalry games.A one of kind experience curated by a 6-year music industry veteran and lifelong sports fan. 

I’ve been to a lot of tail gates, VIP level ticket holder, stayed in amazing rental houses and luxury hotels.  You dream it, we make it a reality. 

3/  Group travels

Social groups, alumni groups, high school friends, historical societies, photography groups, multi gen family gatherings, C-level off-sites, to name a few.

We are here to be a resource for your group’s logistics.   Arranging numerous arrivals and departures, coordinating schedules can be exhausting work. 

I’m your travel executive assistant. 

We have over 100 travel brand partners. 

We also enjoy presenting 100% unique curated experiences not available anywhere else.

Holiday Road Adventures is a woman owned, small family business.
