From a quick weekend escape to a bucket-list cruise or a month abroad, I plan trips that punch above their price — with VIP perks at no extra cost, and no fee for my help.
I find the trips that feel like a splurge without the splurge price — and as a fellow first responder, I make sure you never leave a discount or perk on the table.
I hunt down the value — the dates, stays, and routes that give you the most trip for your money. And my planning costs you nothing: I'm paid by the hotels and travel partners, not by you.
Beach week, city break, family vacation, honeymoon, multi-country adventure — or a cruise, which happens to be a specialty. Wherever you're headed, I match you to the right fit and skip the upsells that don't earn their price.
I know the schedule, the short notice, and the toll the job takes. I'll find the discounts and rates you've earned, and plan around a life that doesn't always cooperate.
Hi, I'm Preston. Long before I planned trips, I was the person showing up on someone's worst day — I'm a licensed paramedic and a first responder, and I still am.
That job teaches you two things that turn out to matter a lot in travel: how to plan for the unexpected, and how badly people need a real break when the schedule finally lets them have one. I started doing this because I believe a great trip shouldn't be reserved for people with a big budget — with the right planning and the right relationships, you can travel remarkably well for less than you'd think.
I help with every kind of trip — beaches, cities, family vacations, honeymoons, big adventures — though I have a particular love for cruises and for finding affordable getaways that overdeliver. And I've got a soft spot for helping fellow first responders get away, because I know the shift work, the short notice, and how rarely we actually unplug. Whatever you're planning, you'll get someone who treats your trip like it matters and your money like it's my own.
Share where you'd like to go, roughly when, and what matters most. A few sentences is plenty to get started.
I come back with curated recommendations, perks included, and a clear quote — no pressure, no obligation.
Once you're happy, I book it, confirm the details, and stay on call through the trip.
