About Me

EUROPEAN & RIVER CRUISE EXPERT

My career in travel began as a hobby. After returning from the Peace Corps in 2006, I began to help my family members and friends with their own travel plans. I simply loved sharing my experiences abroad and I enjoyed assisting them as they created their own itineraries that were sure to be filled with many memories. In 2014, I decided that I should turn my passion into a career, and I never looked back.

Matt made preparing for Tahiti a breeze!
Reviewed By Dan - San Jose, CA | Traveled to
Matt helped us out with combining a cruise in French Polynesia with pre and post cruise land options. Specifically he arranged our stay in Moorea at an overwater bungalow. Matt was very responsive before the trip, he communicated with hotel management to ensure everything was prepared for our arrival and that we received excellent treatment upon arrival. The travel gifts before departure were a nice extra touch too! All in all it was a pleasure to do business with Matt and I highly recommend him to anyone planning a small trip to a long getaway.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Responsive, friendly and knowledgeable
Reviewed By Zig - SF Bay Area, CA | Traveled to
Matt is very helpful and knowledgeable. I was booking a family vacation in Yellowstone, and he helped to find hotel that was still open despite it being the low season and convenient. He also personally emailed the hotels to make sure I get special treatment. Matt goes above and beyond his call of duty. Highly recommended!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Thanks Matt!
Reviewed By Madetimewilltravel - Bay Area, CA | Traveled to Europe
Matt was easy to work with and was able to turn around our plans in a relatively short timeline. Matt's suggestions were spot on and we had a fantastic time on our trip to Europe as a result of the hotels and activities he located for us.
