We are a boutique travel firm that specializes in culture, luxury, business, and adventure travel.

What makes us stand out is that we do not craft your travel plans based on what the trends are or where The Joneses are going. We craft each vacation around your distinct tastes, mood, and travel goals.

How we do it

Listening is always the first step in preparing an itinerary.

In planning travel, our initial question is always, "Where do you want to go, and why?". Most people have an idea of where they’d like to visit, but not what to do once they arrive or even if that destination suits them. Creating a dialogue helps us design a personalized package.

Whether this is your first vacation in years or you travel every other month, we work to hammer down an ideal itinerary at a pace that works for you. Our goal is to take the heavy lifting that comes with travel and allow you to simply focus on enjoying yourself.

You work hard enough. Your vacation should not feel like a job.

Even after booking your travel, we are still on hand to take care of any speed bumps along the way, from flight changes, canceled tours to dining suggestions or connecting with your heritage. We’ll stay in contact until you return home.

  • Keshler planned an amazing trip for me to the Cayman Islands. As a first time traveler, Keshler took the time to get to know me, my budget, travel preferences and interests. He was first able to book me airfare at a fantastic price (my friends and family still can’t believe what I paid). He then booked me at a gorgeous, comfortable villa at an amazing price. And because Keshler took the time to know my interests, he was able to recommend activities that focused on nature and history, restaurants that serve local food and night life spots. I had a blast, and this was the best vacation of my life.

  • A thoughtful advocate for his client / customer * Extremely adept at understanding a traveler’s life interests and pairing that with his client’s travel plans. My trip to Ireland was fantastic. My interests in Irish trad music and a curiosity for Ireland’s food culture was paired with a Pub crawl, an overnight stay in Doolin; well known for trad music, a cooking lesson, a gourmet meal at a prestigious restaurant and a foraging hike with a commercial forager. Keshler was available by email throughout my trip.

  • By the time my vacation was over, I was already excited to venture to other lands where he has been because he knows that language too, was already prepping me on how to dress, and was already teaching me what to expect culturally. I feel so much safer and excited to have such an A Class Guide to help make my vacation perfect! I should also mention that he's pretty easy going when I wanted to change direction a bit from what we decided my itinerary was going to be. BEST EXPERIENCE

  • They want to know a diverse culture different from their own.
  • They want the photos that are not on everyone else’s feeds.
  • They want a destination that allows them to reconnect with themselves.
  • They want to sit on a beach not crawling with tourists.
  • They want to be explorers.

About Keshler

Senior Year in high school changed my life.

During my last year of high school, I opted to take an elective course titled Current Events. It was during that class a seed was planted in me and bloomed into my love of cultures and history. Since that year, I’ve lived in my native Philadelphia but also in Atlanta, Santiago de Chile, Madrid, and South Australia. From my lived experiences, I have gained a deep interest in learning not just a locale's history, but it's culture and people.

These travels and experiences have enabled me to not just visit destinations but to bring a little bit of the history and its people back home. My experiences have prepared me to help others to not simply travel, but to experience destinations through fresh eyes and fall in love with various cultures as I have.
