Curator of Memories - Your Travel Agent

Hi, I’m Matthew Joffe — a travel advisor with a deep background in hospitality and a genuine passion for planning trips that feel effortless, meaningful, and unforgettable.

Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic escape to Sayulita, a cruise through Alaska, a scenic rail journey through the Canadian Rockies, or a California getaway planned by someone who truly knows the state, I specialize in creating personalized travel experiences that are thoughtfully planned and easy to enjoy from start to finish.

I specialize in:

• Mexico travel — Sayulita, Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit, La Paz, Mexico City, Riviera Maya (Cancún, Cozumel & beyond)
• California travel — coastal escapes, wine country, national parks, cities & road trips
• Cruise vacations — Virgin Voyages, Princess, Cunard, Royal Caribbean, and more
• Train travel — Rocky Mountaineer, Amtrak, and custom rail journeys
• All-inclusive resorts, honeymoons & family getawaysInclusive and accessible travel planning for travelers of all abilities
• Based in Washington State, I work with couples, families, and solo travelers across the U.S. to design custom vacations — from cruises and honeymoons to immersive destination experiences in Mexico, California, and beyond.

I lived in California for over 20 years, where I built deep, firsthand knowledge of the state — from the Sonoma and Napa wine regions to the California coast, major cities, and iconic national parks. That local experience allows me to plan California trips with true insider insight, not just online research.

I hold a degree in Hospitality Management from Michigan State University and an MBA from Franklin University, and before launching Travel with Joffe, I worked with top hospitality brands including Marriott and Hyatt. That experience shaped my service-first approach and taught me what truly great travel planning looks like behind the scenes.

Today, I hold 20+ travel certifications, including:

• Graduate of the College of Disney Knowledge (Disney Parks & Disney Cruise Line)
• Certified Specialist for Puerto Vallarta, La Paz & Riviera Maya
• Certified Hawai?i Destination
• Expert Alaska Travel Specialist
• Gold-Level Virgin Voyages Agent
• Certified Leisure Travel Specialist
• Certified in Iceland, Costa Rica, Aruba, and more

I’ve personally scouted destinations throughout Mexico, attended over 20 music festivals worldwide, and built strong relationships with hotels, guides, and local businesses — giving my clients access to experiences they wouldn’t find on their own.

I’m also deeply committed to inclusive travel, ensuring every traveler feels safe, supported, and empowered to explore the world on their own terms.

You bring the vision — I’ll bring the expertise to make it unforgettable.
