About Me

Never ending action in Africa
Never ending action in Africa

My love for travel began back in high school and has only grown stronger with every trip. After a successful career in retail, I made the decision to follow my true passion—helping others experience the joy of travel. Today, I specialize in creating unforgettable journeys, with a focus on luxury cruises, bespoke safaris, and once-in-a-lifetime adventures.I've been to Africa six times and counting—safaris are my absolute favorite kind of trip. I’ve also visited the Galápagos Islands multiple times and never tire of their incredible biodiversity. Early in my travel life, I didn’t care how I got there, as long as I was going. Now, I appreciate the comfort, elegance, and service that come with luxury travel. Whether you’re dreaming of an ocean cruise, an expedition to remote destinations, or a personalized safari, I’m here to design a journey that’s as seamless as it is inspiring.

Why I love what I do

For me, travel is more than seeing new places—it's about the people you meet along the way. Some of my closest friendships began on cruises and group trips, and I believe that shared travel experiences can create lasting connections. I love helping clients find those opportunities to bond—whether it’s aboard a luxury cruise, on an African safari, or in a small-group cultural tour.As an advisor, I also take pride in understanding and meeting the unique needs of LGBTQ+ travelers. I work hard to ensure that every trip I plan is not just seamless and inspiring, but also welcoming and inclusive—because everyone deserves to feel comfortable, celebrated, and safe while exploring the world.

Mark planned a fabulous trip for us to Venice, Switzerland and cruise of several stops along the coast of Croatia. The trip was wonderful as a result of Mark’s planning and his experience. As a result we have booked another trip to Paris,Amsterdam and a cruise down the Rine river. Marks attention to detail is simply the best!

Keep on traveling!
Reviewed By Lorraine C - Sea Girt, New Jersey | Traveled to Abu Simbel | Egypt | Africa
Mark has planned several trips for us. Most of the trips included land tours prior to a river or ocean cruise. He has scheduled air, hotel , excursions, car service and made suggestions of things to do and time management. He is very accessible and keeps us informed throughout the whole process. We have referred him to friends who have become repeat clients. I highly recommend Mark and City to Sea Travel

One Stop Trip Planning
Reviewed By Travelingtom - Wilmington, NC | Traveled to Berlin | Germany | Europe
On several occasions, we have asked Mark to arrange cruise ship itineraries, hotel accommodations, dining suggestions and excursion possibilities. Our travels have been both domestic USA and international destinations. Mark has extensive knowledge regarding travel anywhere you want to go. He is very responsive and is outstanding at follow-up. I have recommended Mark to several friends because I know about the quality of his service. His dedication to assuring that his clients have great travel experiences is second to none.
