We used Terra Explored for a California coast girls road trip, providing great recommendations, maps, and local insights (Skunk Train, wineries, Glass Beach!) that gave our weekend structure and time to relax. He really took the time to figure out what we were looking for in this trip and make curated recommendations. We’ll absolutely continue using his services for future trips and highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a personalized travel experience!

We used Terra Explored for a couples Colorado adventure-Matthew handled all the details, found some incredible activities (ice climbing, skijor, creekside hot springs, Nordic skiing!) and even recommended a hidden gem restaurant in the backcountry (shout out Tennessee Pass Cookhouse omg) that ended up being one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve ever had ?? He made the journey smooth and stress-free. His attention to detail, thoughtful suggestions, and genuine care for creating great experiences really stand out. We’ll absolutely continue using his services for future trips and highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a personalized travel experience!

International travel is complex and can feel overwhelming (especially when managing it for a large family/group). Matthew was empathetic and also practical. He made sure I stayed organized and walked me through all the requirements so that our large group (7) could focus on having fun.

Matthew with Terra Explored Travel was a big help in planning our first time visiting Taiwan! We were visiting our daughter who is studying abroad so we did not want a day by day planned itinerary, but Matthew gave us a lot detailed information on sites and things to do based on our interests. The app was super useful to pull up whenever we wanted to do something on the list. Thankfully we didn't need to contact him while there but he assured us that if we had any questions, wanted to book a tour, or needed assistance we just need to message him!

My vacation would have been an absolute disaster had Matthew not swooped in to save it. Plane delay meant hotel was needed at drop of a hat and he arranged transport from airport to hotel instantly. Travelling to Japan we were 16hrs ahead but that didnt phase him. Dropping suggestions for itinerary along the way and booking alternate stays as we changed what we had planned multiple times. Will not travel without him ever again. Took all the stress out and replaced it with relaxation.

Huge shout out to Matthew at Terra Explored Travel! He was absolutely wonderful to work with. From the very beginning, he provided every detail I needed to ensure my family trip was completely seamless. When I started to get nervous right before traveling, Matthew took the time to calm my worries and even went the extra mile of researching information for me to make sure I was fully prepared. I truly appreciated his patience, knowledge and support. I’m already looking forward to booking our next trip with him.

Matt was absolutely incredible to work with, and we are so grateful for everything he did to help us book our dream honeymoon. From the very beginning, he was patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping us figure out what we wanted. We went back and forth a few times as we compared options and refined our plans, and Matt never made us feel rushed or like we were a burden. He explained everything clearly, answered every question, and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Because of Matt, we ended up with a honeymoon that felt perfectly tailored to us, and we had complete confidence that every detail was handled. If you are looking for a travel planner who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cares, Matt is the one. We cannot recommend him enough

This was our very first cruise, and wow! Holland America’s Koningsdam made it an incredible experience. Huge thank you to Matthew for helping us book everything and making the whole process super easy. Without Matthew, it would have been totally overwhelming but he laid of several choices and itineraries for us and helped us plan every step. The ship itself was beautiful and surprisingly easy to navigate for first timers. Our room was clean, cozy, and had way more storage than we expected. Honestly, Alaska is something you just have to see in person. Food was great everywhere we went, from the buffet to the main dining room. The entertainment and activities were fun too. Shore excursions were organized and stress-free, and we always felt taken care of. The crew was extremely friendly and made us feel welcome the whole time. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better first cruise experience. Holland America and the Koningsdam were amazing, and Matthew made planning it incredible my easy . We’re already talking about booking another trip!

Traveled multiple countries with flights and trains.
