Travel has always been my passion, and for over 30 years, I’ve loved nothing more than creating unforgettable journeys for friends and family.

My wife Brandie and I decided to make that passion our purpose. Together, we’ve explored some of the world’s most stunning destinations—Hawaii, French Polynesia, London, the French Riviera, Norway, Maldives, Singapore, Bali, and Thailand. From swimming with humpback whales to indulging in a Brick Lane food tour in London, our time away together has been about creating extraordinary memories and staying connected through shared experiences, and we want to help you do the same.

Based in Conroe, Texas, just outside Houston, I specialize in crafting custom travel experiences for couples, empty-nesters, and busy professionals. Whether it’s a middle-aged couple finally ticking off their bucket list, professionals escaping the daily grind to reconnect, or those who value expert help to save time and avoid hassle, I’m here to make your travel dreams a reality.

My approach is all about personalization. Every trip begins with a simple 10-15 minute questionnaire to uncover your travel preferences. Using your answers, I design an itinerary that combines lodging you’ll love, experiences that immerse you in the local culture, and dining that connects you to the heart of your destination. Think hidden gems, authentic adventures, and seamless plans—all delivered in an easy-to-use app that keeps your schedule, tips, and destination-specific info at your fingertips. 

I recently planned a romantic getaway to Kauai for a couple who wanted oceanfront accommodations, a focus on food, and off-the-beaten-path adventures. Their trip included a beachfront condo, a farmers’ market with world-famous pineapple, a guided food tour, a mountain tubing experience, and even insider tips like avoiding cruise ship crowds and navigating one-lane bridges. It’s these thoughtful details that turn a vacation into a cherished memory.

I know that unexpected hiccups can happen. That’s why I arm my clients with all the knowledge and resources they need to adapt and thrive, no matter what comes up. Like the couple in Nice, France, who turned a no-show guide into their own delightful food tour—because they had the tools and confidence to make it work.

When I’m not planning trips, I love spending time with my kids and grandson, playing with my dogs, catching a good movie, or diving into Houston’s incredible dining scene. Wherever your dream destination lies, I’m ready to help you explore it with ease, excitement, and a touch of magic. Reach out today to get started planning the vacation of your dreams.

The trip we didn’t know we needed
Reviewed By Michelle - St Louis MO | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
When I contacted John to plan this trip, I didn’t give him very much time to do it. But he’s not a quitter, and he made this the most amazing trip for us. Beginning with the resort that we stayed at which was phenomenal. Atlantis is an amazing resort and it’s so beautiful. Every single night we enjoyed the view and sounds of the ocean from our balcony. It was amazing. Everything we did was fun and memorable, from the swimming pigs in Exuma, deep sea fishing which was an amazing adrenaline rush, swimming with sharks, snorkeling underwater into a grotto and having a personal tour through the city and learning the history, speedboating across the open ocean, it was all so perfectly planned by him. Playing with sea lions and having a classy night at the casino. When I booked this trip, I said it was going to be a once in a lifetime trip. But John made it so good that I know we’re going to go back. He was able to show us everything beautiful about the Bahamas, and it was amazing. Between the boat rides, sand bars, the people, the culture, the food was so good, and just our service and care from everyone that we dealt with. It’s beautiful. And I’m so thankful to him for helping me to accomplish this with my family. I’ve never went on a trip this big before and I didn’t realize that it was crazy to try to get it planned in a month. But I quickly learned that that was pretty crazy. But John did it. And he did it so good. And he conquered every hurdle that I threw at him and refused to compromise and not make our trip amazing. If you are looking for an amazing travel agent, John is definitely your guy. Trust him. He will take such good care of you. I’m already planning my next trip with him.

A Truly Marvelous, Memorable Trip of a Lifetime
Reviewed By Intrepid Traveler - Lake Forest, IL | Traveled to Florida | USA
John did a fantastic job in so many ways, but for me, an elderly grandmother taking two teenage grandchildren on this excursion, he really outdid himself. I cannot speak from the kids' perspective, but from mine the layout of activities along with the number of activities was absolutely perfect. We toured, we rested, we toured, we swam in the ocean, we toured, we ate, we toured and swam some more. We had a bus tour, a boat tour, a helicopter tour and time to swim in between! My grandchildren are Midwesterners. They are relatively well traveled for their ages, but the call of the sea is strong. Our lodgings were perfect for the three of us and included a balcony overlooking the Atlantic. So along with the planned excursions in central Florida we were lucky enough to see a Space X rocket launching! John gave us directions to everything we would need, including times to reserve our Uber rides each day for the tours he had arranged for us. These are memories my grandchildren will hold with them forever, as one big movie and piecemeal as occasions come up that come up over the years ahead. Thank you, John! You did a great job for us from start to finish.

"Thank you for sharing your experience here, Lois. I am very touched that you trusted me with these fantastic memories that your grandchildren will someday share with their grandchildren. I still remember trips with my grandparents, and I am glad this one went so well! I am here when you are ready to plan the next one!"

Made our trip SO much easier!
Reviewed By Lauren - Frankfurt | Traveled to Germany | Europe
We were looking for a vacation and our first trip to Europe but were overwhelmed by all thr choices and options, but working with John helped SO much! He gave us options pick between so we could have the vacation we wanted without having to sift through a ton of choices. He helped us decide exactly which cities we were going to stay in for the kind of visit we wanted to have, and provided options for where to stay along with a bunch of suggested places to eat and activities to do that were tailored to the style of travel we like to do! It also really helped having the trip itinerary and documents all in one place in the app on my phone! I really appreciate all Johns help and look forward to planning more trips through Travel Like Brandie!

Best mom and son trip ever!
Reviewed By Gogogo420 - Phoenix AZ | Traveled to Universal City | California | USA
John did amazing planning our trip to Universal Studios! I told John where I wanted to take my son for a mom and son trip, and John made the vacation better than I could have imagined. He added some events I didn’t think of, and I’m thankful he did. The planning process was easy, and John’s prices are very affordable. John asked very good questions to find the best hotel, food, and events to fit our experience. I will use John in the future for a perfect vacation experience.

All of New England in 11 days!
Reviewed By Armstrong74 - Hobbs, New Mexico | Traveled to Boston | Massachusetts | USA
I can't praise our travel agent, John, enough! He crafted an incredible itinerary that showcased six New England states, with activities that catered to everyone's interests. John listened attentively to my suggestions and made sure to incorporate everyone’s preferences. He was easily accessible throughout the trip, promptly answering any questions I had. I highly recommend him and can’t say enough good things about this experience. On a side note, the only thing I discovered about myself during this trip is that I'm not a fan of food halls. Too many people and not enough seating! Lol!
