Backed by an in-house team dedicated to sourcing private jet charters, his model omits the middleman, offering a transparent and efficient solution in one of the most nuanced areas of the travel industry. His deep understanding of both the travel landscape and the unique needs of high-level executtives combined with his long-standing industry relationships ensures that every trip leaves an impact.
I often like to be spontaneous on trips and thus make an effort not to over-prepare. Instead, I typically pack the same things on all trips, and keep my days open to explore, relax, exercise, and just be where I am.
I love Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, California and love to return to it as much as possible. The team is exceptional, the architecture is beautiful, and the views of the California coastline and Pacific Ocean are stunning. It’s without a doubt one of the top-five hotels in the United States in my opinion and is the getaway for a romantic trip.
