Travel Design
You Dream It - We Create It Our company mission is simple. It's all about matching you up with the ideal destinations and experiences you've been dreaming about.
First things first - Let's get to know each other. We start out by listening to you. What are your trip goals? Will you travel as a couple, with friends, family, all guys, all girls? How about accommodations and activities? Hard-core adventure with basic accommodations? Prefer luxury digs and fine food? How about both? Time-frame? Budget? We have a lot to talk about. We get to work for you - Based on your preferences and date choices, we customize itinerary options and present them to you with pricing. Get ready to go! - Once you select the travel plan you prefer, we collaborate to finalize the details and provide you with confirmations and documents. We're also here to assist you with pre-travel preparations. Live your dream - You travel and have a fabulous time. We keep in touch with you and our chosen travel providers to make sure all is going smoothly. Share the post trip - When you return, we'll be waiting to hear your feedback - all the things that went great, and what could have been better. Then we can began the excitement of your next travel planning journey together. |
“It’s not about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”
Free at last! It's safe to start your next adventure. Where will you go? With nearly 40% of the US population vaccinated and a growing list of incredible destinations reopening their doors for tourism, we are thrilled to return to what we love most: planning travel. If you are at all considering traveling this year (or even in 2022), we urge you to get in touch as soon as possible. Whether you’re seeking a quick toe-dip staycation in the next few months or are dreaming of a full-on international revenge vacation, it is critical to book now. Dynamic pricing rates are increasing with growing demand, and availability is quickly running out in newly opened destinations… and we would hate for you to put your travel dreams on hold any longer. Need ideas? Countries like Iceland and Greece have already announced they are ready to accept U.S. travelers who have been vaccinated. And many other countries are ready to follow. The Bahamas, most of the Caribbean and Mexico are also open. Spain, Portugal and France will all be open in June. We are on the pulse of which destinations are opening up and what requirements are in place. In addition, we have state-of-the-art technology that shows the best availability and rates in real time. We have private partnerships to treat you to hundreds of dollars in amenities at luxury hotels (free breakfast, free upgrades, and more!). And most importantly, we will continue to be your advocate during challenging times, should any unforeseen circumstances arise. The world is yours for the taking once again! Let’s plan something unforgettable together. |

"The solution to any problem -- work, love, money, whatever -- is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be."
~John Gierach~ We couldn't agree more! And the truth is, we want to go fishing all the time, and we've spent our lives proving that. We invite you to join us in what we believe are the best selection of fly fishing experiences available on the planet today -- from the saltwater flats of the Bahamas, Mexico, Seychelles and South Pacific to the glacier-carved river valleys in Argentina, Chile and Iceland, to renowned rivers and lakes in the U.S. Rockies and Alaska. |
Gorgeous beaches, sensational fly-fishing, exciting cities, mountain retreats, world-class resorts, and tequila -- Mexico's plate is packed with flavor.
Visiting Mexico is a great value for those seeking unabashed luxury, private escapes, vibrant cultures, award-winning tequila, unique active adventures, and magnificent natural splendors from coast-to-coast. Delve into the history of the Aztec and Mayan civilizations, sample spicy regional cuisine, enjoy a wellness retreat, a family gathering, a golf vacation, or a romantic getaway. You dream it. We create it. |
Imagine waking up every morning in paradise, in the comfort of your own private villa. Lounge by your beachfront pool while our professional staff serves your breakfast. Gaze out over a glimmering ocean, a verdant vineyard, or take in glacier-covered peaks and mountain lakes.
This is your personal retreat, complete with luxurious amenities, dedicated concierge, private chef, and VIP services from beginning to end. We offer an unbeatable selection of private villas in more than 100 destinations throughout the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. |

"Hey Stephen - EVERYTHING was stellar! Quite a journey to get to the lodge, so thanks for suggesting time in Santiago on the way down. Great way to relax and acclimate to the time difference. Your choice of hotels was superb, and the handling of transfers could not have been better. All in all, it was literally the trip of a lifetime. Even the weather was outstanding for the entire week. Can't say enough about the lodge, the staff and guides, scenery, and the fishing. Give everything and everyone a five star rating. Thank you for the pre-planning and advice/help throughout. Stay safe and healthy in this changing world. Look forward to working with you again!"

"Kim and Stephen - Can't say enough about your recommendations from hotels, to wineries, restaurants, and an amazing horseback riding experience. And the asado was to die for. Everything spot on and then some. You two seriously understand luxury travel. Our wine guide, Natalia, was the best we've ever had and her knowledge of the Mendoza wine country was mind-boggling. I'm already talking with friends about a return trip, and this time we want to visit Iguazu also plus spend more time in Buenos Aires. Can't wait to plan the next trip with you two."

"Hi Stephen and Kim! -Thank you for all of your help with the pre-planning process and making our arrival smooth sailing. The pre-planning guide you provided was the best we have ever received for a trip. Eleuthera was spectacular, even better than you described, from our hotel, to fishing guides, snorkeling and just doing nothing at all. Now we really want to take one of your hosted trips but we can't decide if we want Argentina, Chile, the Bahamas again or Iceland. Help! We know they are all different so the best option will be to do them all. Let's talk soon about which one first."
