Trusted Vacation Property Experts

After more than two decades in event management, conference planning, and project leadership across both the private and government sectors, I made the move into the vacation rental industry. Owning and operating my own short-term rentals showed me there was a smarter way for owners to manage their homes than stitching together disconnected tools and vendors. Today, I am a Real Estate Evangelist and Geography Fanatic who coaches vacation rental owners, agents, and managers on every aspect of STR management, from positioning and content to systems, operations, and guest experience. I have supported 300+ companies in 12 countries across 5 continents. I also specialize in turning the average listing (think Airbnb) into an extraordinary marketing piece that earns attention and drives bookings. Earlier in my career, I served as Talent Buyer and Event Coordinator for the City of West Palm Beach where I led the City’s successful bid to become the first World Festival and Event City in the State of Florida, a designation bestowed by the International Festivals and Events Association. I have also produced hundreds of award winning meetings, events, and concerts at the national, state, and local levels. When I am not working, you can find me somewhere in my home state of Florida, relaxing and spending time with my family.

I have accumulated well over thirty years of experience in real estate and real estate finance. I have sold and/or underwritten over two billion dollars in real estate lending products. I have managed a lender bank portfolio of millions of dollars of real estate loans including responsibility for sales of bank owned properties. In 2018, I established and still manage a successful real estate brokerage offering property management of residential rental units, and also on and off market residential sales. I developed a passion for The Finger Lakes several years ago; boating, kayaking, and vacationing on the lakes. Ultimately, I purchased a home on Canandaigua Lake and live there year-round with my wife Tracy and two golden retrievers; Midas and Harper (they love the lakes too!) I am currently a water quality monitor for The Canandaigua Lake Watershed Association. I plan to continue learning about lake initiatives and stewardship with them. What I have found discouraging are experiences that I have seen both buyers and sellers of lake homes experience. Having sold lots of houses does not equate to understanding the nuances of lake real estate. Lake real estate is not only about housing. It is about a lifestyle. There are many important considerations, not only from the perspective of if a house is a good investment, but also how it supports a lifestyle. There are concerns to consider with a property on a dynamic body of water.

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'm a specialist commercial finance broker with 16 years of experience helping Australian business owners access commercial property finance. As founder of Smart Business Plans, I've overseen $550 million in commercial finance across more than 3,300 clients, with a 92% approval rate working across a panel of 60+ specialist lenders. My expertise sits at the intersection of commercial property, business finance, and wealth strategy — particularly for small to medium business owners looking to buy their own premises, invest through their SMSF, or fund development projects. I work exclusively in the commercial space, which means I specialise where the major banks often can't or won't go. I'm also the author of The Premise Effect (2026), which makes the case for why Australian business owners are leaving millions on the table by renting rather than owning their business premises. I'm available to comment on: commercial property finance, SMSF borrowing, business lending, commercial mortgage rates, Australian property market trends, and small business wealth building.

Kayla is an American luxury travel designer based in Puglia, Italy, and the founder of Storia Travel Club. She relocated to southern Italy in 2024 and has built a travel business designing bespoke itineraries for discerning travelers with a particular focus on Italy and Europe. Her lived experience in Puglia gives her access to the kind of local detail that no guidebook captures: which masseria is worth the splurge and which is coasting on reputation, where to find the best bombette in the Valle d’Itria, and why the heel of Italy consistently surprises even seasoned travelers. She works with a select clientele, including ultra-high-net-worth individuals, people seeking relocation to Italy, and those who expect their travel to be entirely handled by a professional. Her work has been featured on The Puglia Guys podcast, and her knowledge of the region, including its food culture, lesser-known geography, and the properties worth staying in, makes her a go-to source for editorial coverage on authentic luxury and slow travel in Italy.
