Nice to Meet You
I’m American-born, Ireland-based, and travel-obsessed
Hi, I’m Matty
The first trip I remember was sailing along the coast of Turkey when I was five. Backgammon was etched into the streets, we dove into neon blue water, and I played with local kids unfazed by the language barrier. I may have survived on bread and Flintstones vitamins, but I fell hard for the thrill of exploring somewhere new. (And don’t worry, my aversion to foreign food is long gone!)
I grew up in Maryland, but now call Ireland home. I spend my free time exploring Europe’s hidden gems and iconic destinations so I can weave that insider knowledge into trips for my clients. Before becoming a travel advisor, I spent 15+ years in startups and creative industries as a project manager. Today, I bring that same structure, empathy, and creative energy to every itinerary I create.
My clients’ time is valuable, so I handle every detail with the same care I bring to my own trips. With vetted guides, exclusive access, and thoughtfully chosen hotels and experiences, I design journeys that are comfortable, authentic, and unique to each traveler. My goal is to make every escape stress-free and unforgettable.
My travel style
Sometimes you’ll find me with caviar in first class, and sometimes it’s more of a “sweaty standing room only train holding a stranger’s baby” vibe, but every trip was important and full of fun memories.
Favorite Destinations
Ireland & the UK, Greece, Italy, Thailand, and (proud Hufflepuff here!) The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
My Next Trip
Madagascar: for the lemurs, the lush rainforests and stunning beaches, and (bucket list!) swimming with whale sharks
Dream Group Trip
A luxury girls’ getaway with beach reads, private boats, and long privately catered wine-soaked dinners (minus the White Lotus energy)
Best to Plan
River cruises! A stress-free way to escape the big cities, perfect for seeing the country from a new perspective
what makes a trip memorable for you?
What my clients
have to say.
Normandy & Amiens, France
“From flights to train tickets, dinner reservations to cool local stops, you handled everything and made our France road trip so easy. We wanted Christmas markets and some WWII history, and you got the balance right. It felt festive, meaningful, and smooth the whole way through. So glad we had your help. Thank you!!”
Abacos, Bahamas
“Our trip to the Bahamas was the definition of stress-free. We set sail through the Abacos on a private catamaran and Matty had everything sorted. A great captain, an incredible chef, the route, all of it. We swam with sea turtles, drank rum at beach bars, ate cracked conch, and stopped at white sand beaches and old lighthouses. Not once did we have to think about what came next. It was just fun and sunshine the whole way through. 10/10 would recommend!”
Universal Orlando
“My daughter is obsessed with Harry Potter, and I’m so glad we asked Matty to plan our trip to the Wizarding World at Universal Orlando. She had a full magical itinerary laid out for us, and a plan so we actually got to enjoy it without the chaos or crowds. Watching my kids wave their wands and make a feather float was such a little thing, but it will always be one of those things I’ll never forget. We even got to be the family that opens the park for everyone in the morning! So we got to walk in first and spend moments alone in Diagon Alley!”
Ireland
“We went to Ireland to celebrate our engagement, and Matty helped us put together a trip we’ll never forget. We blended our own whiskey at Jameson, spent nights in pubs listening to amazing trad music, and biked around the Aran Islands surrounded by stone walls, sea views, and plenty of sheep. Every part of the trip felt special and so us. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to mark the occasion.”
