While serving in the United States Marine Corps, Matt developed a mindset of curiosity, adaptability, and respect for deeply rooted cultural experiences that shapes how he sees the world.
Pairing his service record with more than fifteen years as a business executive, he brings a carefully honed worldview to every journey he plans for his clients. As a graduate of American University with an MBA and a Master of Global Management from Tulane University, Matt combines his global perspective with a passion for crafting travel experiences that are as unique as the clients he works with at Perspectives Travel.
From active adventures in the Caribbean to immersive cultural experiences in Europe and beyond, he focuses on designing moments that balance thoughtful planning with spontaneity and local authenticity. Matt has traveled extensively and continues to seek firsthand knowledge of destinations to ensure every recommendation is rooted in real experience.
A hotel enthusiast, food lover, and music devotee, he enjoys exploring destinations through their cuisine, culture, and rhythm, always with an eye toward creating core memories for his clients. Whether sending families to unspoiled islands, curating corporate offsites, or planning milestone celebrations, Matt’s goal is simple: to design travel that feels personal, effortless, and unforgettable.
One of my most memorable travel experiences was a multi-generational holiday trip to the south of France with my family. We wandered the historic streets of Avignon, explored the vibrant markets of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, and savored the exceptional wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, all moments that felt both indulgent and authentic. We then spent time along the stunning coastline near Nice and Antibes, soaking in the Mediterranean views and charming seaside towns. It was a perfect mix of history, culture, and family connection, and a reminder of why I love designing trips that balance luxury with real, lived experiences.
My ideal vacation day starts early with a morning surf session to wake up and feel the rhythm of the water. Midday is for a leisurely gourmet lunch, followed by exploring the local streets, markets, or hidden corners of the destination. Later, I might squeeze in a round of golf before watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand, then enjoy a dinner of refined local cuisine. I’d cap the night with live music as the perfect close to the day.
