Meet your travel advisor
Hi, I’m Roger.
Travel has always been a way for my family to explore new places and make memories together. After years of planning trips with my children, friends and family started asking me to help with theirs, too. That passion became a professional service.
I’m also a credentialed California teacher and a licensed real estate professional. Those experiences shaped the way I work: I listen closely, organize the details, and advocate for the people who trust me with their plans.
Today, as a Southern California travel advisor, I plan custom family vacations, couples’ getaways, and business travel for clients nationwide.

Planning fees
Most clients pay no planning fee when I book their hotel or resort accommodations. For independently booked trips, custom planning typically starts around $25 per day per family. I’ll clarify the scope and any fee before work begins.
