Crater Lake National Park in Summer
In just over three years when my love for the US National Parks and exploration began, I have visited 29 of the 63 parks and have heavily researched each and every one of them. I can provide feedback for what hikes you should take, what nearby towns you should stay in if not lodging within the park, how much time you should allot for each place, and much more.
My favorite parks thus far in my journey are Glacier, Acadia and Joshua Tree. I have yet to visit any of the Alaska national parks or some of the greats such as Yosemite, Grand Canyon and the Washington parks so that very well could change as I visit more. I can assure you that if you let me assist with your national parks journey, I will make sure this is an incredible experience for you and your friends/family.

Great trip to Washington state!
Reviewed By Emily - NC | Traveled to Washington | USA
Mike was a huge help in booking accommodations and recommending a travel flow for our trip to Washington state. We enjoyed all of our stays - hotels, a rustic cabin/inn, and rental home. From flights to rental cars to accommodations, Mike organized and orchestrated it all, which was a tremendous time saver in booking a trip for 10! It made the week all the easier and we loved visiting Seattle, Mt. Rainier, and Olympic National Park.

Family trip full of great memories!
Reviewed By Jenni - Stokesdale. NC | Traveled to Iceland | Europe
We had a wonderful trip to Iceland and appreciate Mike’s guidance in selecting this location and planning to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation. The three places we stayed were amazing and fit our needs exactly! We told him we wanted to explore and our itinerary was build for exactly that. I would highly recommend our exact trip to a family like ours who wants to create memories and is up for an adventure. We had to flex with the weather but saw some amazing views and made memories we will never forget! Mike was available before and during our trip for questions and support. Highly recommend!

Nashville trip
Reviewed By Angela W - Waco Texas | Traveled to Nashville | Tennessee | USA
Mike did a great job of planning our dream vacation while staying budget conscious. He responded quickly and worked to find solutions to our planning constraints. While we did encounter one small hiccup at a hotel, Mike was quick to resolve and advocated for us. Mike sent a thoughtful birthday gift card and made sure we enjoyed our time. Thank you!
