Leading Remote Work Travel Experts

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 help people understand how to move beyond endless research and actually execute a move correctly, efficiently, and with confidence. My perspective is especially relevant for remote workers, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want to continue earning U.S.-based income while living abroad. Topics I can speak on include: Moving abroad and relocation planning Expat life in Europe Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Brazil, and Argentina Digital nomad living and remote work Visas and residency options Cost of living and lifestyle differences Culture shock and adapting abroad Housing, banking, healthcare, and logistics Why more Americans are considering leaving the U.S. Work-life balance and quality of life abroad Long-term travel and global mobility I combine personal experience with practical relocation knowledge, making me a strong source for quotes, commentary, podcast interviews, expert insights, and feature stories related to moving abroad and expat life.

I believe that remote work is table stakes.

I'm a partner to the business, hiring managers, candidates, and my team. Building lasting partnerships with brilliant brands has been the highlight of my work. I'm currently leading the global talent acquisition program at XWP, growing the team from 40 people in 2021 to 120+ today.
