Sites of the Haitian Revolution
Reviewed By Amslyne Z - Coral Springs, FL | Traveled to Haiti | Caribbean
Great Experience Thanks to Andrew! Andrew planned an amazing trip for me to the north side of Haiti in June 2024. I stayed at the beautiful Satama Hotel in Cap-Haïtien, visited the Citadelle and Palais Sans Souci in Milot, and ended my trip relaxing in Labadi at the stunning Île Rat. Everything went smoothly, and I felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. The mix of history, culture, and relaxation was perfect. Andrew made the whole experience stress-free and memorable. Highly recommend!

My Travel Stories
Ethiopia: A Journey Through Time
In 2013, I embarked on a journey to Ethiopia that felt more like a voyage through centuries than a simple vacation. I wasn’t prepared for how deeply the country would move me — not just in its landscapes, but in its legends, its people, and the spiritual weight of its history.

Client Testimonials
Journey through Estonia
Andrew exceeded all expectations when he planned out my trip to Estonia. He went that extra mile to do detailed research to find interesting and unique experiences that I would have never found on my own. I don't get to travel as often as I would like, so when I invest my time and money on a trip I really want to get the most of it. Andrew was able to deliver that because he takes the time to learn about destinations to ensure you have a tailor-made adventure that fits your interests. If you're thinking about traveling, I'd recommend using his services time and again.
