A Life Inspired
by Travel

I have spent twenty years in hospitality, and somewhere along the way I stopped thinking of it as a job and started thinking of it as a craft. I’ve also spent a lifetime curious about the world—its history, cultures, people, food, and the experiences that can only come from going somewhere new.

Travel, for me, has always been about more than the destination. It’s finding the little restaurant you’ll talk about for years, wandering an old European street with nowhere in particular to be, stepping off a boat onto an island, or arriving somewhere beautiful and thinking, I’m here.

My own travels have taken me through Hawaii, Belize, Guatemala, France, Greece, Sicily, Ireland, London, Alaska, Canada, and beyond. Each journey has taught me something different, but perhaps the most important is this: the best trip isn’t necessarily the most expensive or elaborate. It’s the one that feels like you.

That is the philosophy behind Declare Stays Travel.

I want to know how you actually like to travel. What you’re curious about. What you want to see, taste, learn, or experience. Whether you dream of beautiful hotels and long dinners, days spent exploring history and culture, or a week on the water with absolutely nowhere you need to be.

Then, I take care of the details and build the journey around you.

Because the world is far too interesting to experience it only one way.
