For the past 15 years, I’ve explored the USA from top to bottom—Alaska to Florida—immersing myself in its vibrant cities, breathtaking landscapes, and endless open roads.

Some of my favourite cities include the iconic energy of New York, the live music heartbeat of Austin, and the soulful charm of Nashville. I’ve driven Route 66 in full and in parts more times than I can count, drawn to its ever-changing scenery, forgotten motels and gas stations, fascinating museums, and the incredible people along the way.

National Parks are a must on my journeys, and I’ve been fortunate to visit some of the most spectacular, from the misty peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains to the geothermal wonders of Yellowstone, the red rock beauty of Arches, and the vast, untamed wilderness of Wrangell-St. Elias—the largest National Park in the USA.

Crafting unforgettable road trips is my passion. I take the time to personally visit hotels, motels, and lodges to ensure our clients have the perfect stay—whether that means luxury, boutique, quirky, or budget-friendly accommodations.

I also have a deep love for classic Americana, and let’s just say my souvenirs tend to be on the larger side—think classic cars (and not just once), a restored 1950s gas pump, and cool signage. Thankfully, I have an understanding wife!
