Allow myself to introduce myself
[credit: Austin Powers] I’ve spent the better part of my adult life chasing curiosity—sometimes with a camera, sometimes with my family, often with a boarding pass that raises an eyebrow at TSA. After three decades running several leading digital marketing agencies, I founded ABC Trips to help solos, couples, groups and families plan unforgettable luxury and adventure travel—everything from polar expeditions and African safaris to superyacht island-hopping and far-flung cultural deep dives. It’s part travel brokerage, part storytelling, part logistics wizardry… and part knowing which experiences are genuinely worth the splurge (and which are pure hype). Since 2020, I’ve traveled the world constantly with my family while documenting the experience as YouTube creators, building over 700k subscribers who follow along for the real version of long-term travel: the magic, the mishaps, and the moments that don’t make it into glossy brochures. Travel, for me, has always been less about checking boxes and more about building a life that stays curious. Along the way, I’ve written about travel and lifestyle for major publications, appeared as a guest on major network news shows and podcasts to talk about everything from expedition cruising to designing a location-flexible life, and worked closely with top travel brands, lodges, and expedition operators around the world. These days, I split my time between: - Curating exceptional trips for clients who value experience over excess - Collaborating with travel brands and media on thoughtful, story-driven projects - Exploring the world with my family, still learning as we go I’m not particularly interested in shouting into the void or chasing trends. I like good conversations, smart questions, and people who care about doing things well—and enjoying the ride while they’re at it. If we connect directly, chances are we’ll have something interesting to talk about.

@Igor Kondrat Thanks! I'm already enjoying seeing some of the posts here, so I'm sure it will become even more valuable to all (myself certainly included) as the group continues to grow.

@Igor Kondrat That would be a lot of fund to join! We'll have to see if the time zone and time jive with my calendar, but hope so.
