Expert Cruise Ship Entertainment Consultants

For the past six years, my family and I have lived and traveled continuously around the world, visiting every continent in a 13-month span and documenting the experience as full-time travel creators. Along the way, our YouTube channels have grown to more than 700,000 subscribers, drawn not to glossy brochure travel, but to the real version: the logistics, the decisions, the tradeoffs, and the moments that don’t fit neatly into an Instagram square. After decades spent running digital marketing agencies, I co-founded ABC Trips, a luxury and adventure travel agency focused on high-touch, experience-driven travel—polar expeditions, African safaris, expedition cruising, private yachts, and deeply cultural itineraries designed for solos, couples, groups, and families. The work sits at the intersection of brokerage, storytelling, and logistics, with a strong bias toward knowing what’s genuinely worth the splurge—and what’s just good marketing. Along the way, I’ve served as a quoted travel industry source for major publications, appeared on network news segments and podcasts, and collaborated closely with leading travel brands, lodges, and expedition operators worldwide. My commentary often focuses on luxury and expedition travel, family and multigenerational travel, travel trends, and what it actually takes to design a location-flexible life that works long-term. These days, my time is split between: - Advising clients on exceptional luxury and adventure travel through ABC Trips - Serving as a media source and collaborator for journalists and brands - Continuing to explore the world with my family—still learning, still curious I’m not especially interested in chasing trends or shouting into the void. I value thoughtful questions, smart conversations, and people who care about doing things well—and enjoying the ride while they’re at it. If our paths cross, there’s a good chance we’ll have something interesting to talk about.

I run EpicEdits, an SEO agency for private jet operators and luxury travel brands. We help high-end hospitality and aviation companies stay visible when search behaviour changes. I track how affluent travellers research trips. The shift is clear. Thirty-one percent of luxury travel searches now start on ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude instead of Google. These AI platforms don't show ten blue links. They synthesise one answer. If your brand isn't cited, you're invisible. I've spent the past three years studying what I call Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO). Traditional SEO optimises for Google's algorithm. GEO optimises for how AI platforms select and cite sources. The rules are different. AI platforms reward structured data, verifiable facts, and clear answers. Marketing fluff gets ignored. I work with private jet companies, luxury hotels, and premium tour operators across Europe and North America. One private jet client had zero visibility in AI search results in March 2025. By September, they appeared in 40% of relevant Perplexity queries. The fix wasn't more content. It was citation-worthy content. I also track luxury travel pricing strategies. Resort fees, premium economy creep, unbundled services-I document how companies rebrand basics as luxuries. The average resort fee hit $42 per night in 2025, up from $25 in 2015. Airlines now charge extra for the legroom that was standard in the 1990s. My background combines technical SEO with travel industry knowledge. I understand both the algorithms and the customer journey. I know why a private jet charter company needs different optimisation than a budget airline. I'm available to journalists covering travel pricing, luxury hospitality trends, AI search behaviour, and how travel brands adapt to answer engines. I provide specific data, real examples, and quotable insights—no corporate speak or vague predictions. Based in the UK, working internationally.
