About

Always finding the best "bang for my buck." Balancing time between North Carolina and California, I'm constantly researching LGBTQIA+, pet-friendly and high-end travel for a reasonable price tag.

Travel style

I've had the opportunity to travel to over 30 countries and have learned a lot. From solo backpacking in hostels through Southeast Asia to luxury accommodations for groups in Vienna, Austria, I've always prioritized experiencing new places and cultures while keeping cost in mind. I now typically travel with my partner and sometimes my dog. You can find me looking for good food, unique experiences and safe destinations for my LGBTQIA+ community.

Andrew's reviews

Andy was absolutely wonderful to work with and I'll absolutely use him and his expertise in the future. He arranged our hotel and airport transfers, but also recommended restaurants and activities. When researching hotels he called them up to ask questions on our behalf, truly going above and beyond.

Working with Andy was a dream! He was very clear and timely with all of the information he gave us and took all of our preferences into consideration, when planning this trip for us. Everything was kept organized in the itinerary. He gave us great recommendations on excursions and activities as well. He also assisted in recording multiple of our intercountry flights that had been canceled. All of the hotels he booked for us were amazing, and he streamlined every part of this trip, including transportation between each airport and hotel. Working with him was so easy and fun, I absolutely see us using Andy in the future for other trips!

Andy was incredible to work with! I even accidentally ghosted him for a month after first reaching out, and when I finally responded, he was right back to it without missing a beat. He really cared about our preferences and made great recommendations based on what was most important to us. Additionally, he's super responsive, and even helped to get our transportation updated when we had some last minute flight changes. Can't recommend his services enough!!

I really enjoy working with Andy. This was the second trip he supported me with and I had a blast. In no time at all, Andy figured out the kind of vibe that I am looking for in a holiday and perfectly curated experiences for me. I call him "The King of Boutique hotels" because he knows I want to go somewhere nice and not be overwhelmed by staying at large commercial hotels. He answers all my questions (and I have many) and allays any fears by effectively and promptly communicating. I cannot wait for the 2024 adventures that he helps me to curate.
