Authentic Vacations That are Always Tailored to You
Every single aspect of your escape is personalized to your preferences. I work one-on-one with my clients to uncover what thrills them about travel, so I can include more of that in their custom itineraries—while I eliminate all the guesswork that goes into off-the-beaten-path exploring.
Discover the Eckols Travel Difference
The real value of working with a personal travel advisor?
If you want an off-the-beaten-path journey, but don’t have the hours of free time necessary to piece it all together …
If you feel like a hamster on the never-ending wheel of research, overwhelmed by the endless travel options you’ve found online …
If you’re worried that amazing travel moments all fall outside of your budget, or that you’ll overspend on mediocre experiences …
Banish all Your Trip Planning Pains
Catch a wave with a tico in Costa Rica. Immerse yourself in an "agriturismo" (working farm) in Italy. Enjoy locrio with a Dominicano.
Nobody knows a destination like the locals. That’s why, through my global relationships with on-the-ground tour companies, I match you with local guides and experts who can show you the real side of your destination (the side that tourists only armed with a guidebook & Google miss).
Eat, sip, and explore like a local—and make connections that stay with you for life.
