Ocean and River Cruise Focused

Paul Grant Truesdell, J.D., AIF, CLU, ChFC, RFC - Founder of The Truesdell Companies, including Truesdell Consulting, Inc. and Truesdell Travel. 

Paul Truesdell has spent more than forty years in business. He has built companies and served clients across a long career. Along the way, his work has taken him on extensive professional travel — corporate trips, business engagements, and the kind of travel arrangements that come with high-level work.

That experience taught him what good travel looks like. It also taught him what separates a well-run trip from a poorly-run one. The details matter. The people matter. The planning matters. Team Truesdell matters

Most travelers never see the difference until something goes wrong. Paul is building this travel business on a simple idea. He wants to bring the quality of travel he has experienced in his professional life to clients and to like-minded people who want the same kind of experience. Not everyone is looking for that. The people who are will know it when they see it.

He is not trying to be the biggest travel company. He is trying to be the right one for a specific kind of traveler. The kind who has worked hard, earned their rest, and wants every detail handled. The kind who values their time. The kind who understands that a good trip starts long before the trip itself.Most of all, Paul wants to work with nice people. That is not a marketing line. It is a rule. Life is too short and good travel is too valuable to spend it around people who make things harder. The best trips happen when the right people are in the room. So he is careful about who he invites along, and he is comfortable saying so.

When you travel with Paul and his team, you get the benefit of forty-plus years of business relationships with him, well over a hundred years of experience with Team Truesdell. You get hotels that know how to treat a guest. You get planning that respects your time. You get a phone number that someone actually answers when something needs attention. Things come up now and then on any trip. The difference is having someone who is a lifestyle business, where business is a lifestyle in your corner who has seen it before and knows what to do.

You also get a process that is not pushy. No long forms. No hard sales calls. No cookie-cutter packages pulled off a shelf. Team Truesdell listens first. He asks the right questions. Then he puts together a trip that fits the person.

Truesdell travelers come from many walks of life. From retirees to business owners, from couples to families, what they share is simple. Individually and collectively they want a great experience. They are willing to invest in one. And they are pleasant to be around.

Paul welcomes new travelers who fit that picture. Team Truesdell spends the time listening and asking questions before any commitments are made. The first conversation is just that — a conversation. If it is a good fit on both sides, the planning begins. If it is not, no hard feelings and no hard sell.

Good travel is one of the finer things in life. Paul and Team Truesdell have spent time and effort to know makes it work well.
