Kris Matela

Have you ever noticed when you travel is when you feel most alive? I do. I've always had this insane calling to be where I am not. Growing up behind the Iron Curtain fueled my need to discover new places, people, and cultures. As a result I was always planning vacations for myself and over the last 20 years I have been fortunate enough to travel to 87 countries, cruise on eight different cruise lines, while spending over 300 days on Holland America, and over 100 days on Cunard, Princess, and Disney to name a few. Sharing my travel experiences with others soon led to me planning vacations for family and friends. I would be honored to assist you in planning your perfect vacation. Whatever you dream up, I can plan.

I don't just love travel. Some things you might find interesting about me: I was born in Poland and served in the military. I am a Certified Neuromuscular Therapist and have lectured and worked at luxury destination spas in Thailand. I am a U.S. Open Pro-Am Champion in Latin American dance. I am an animal lover. I mention this because it is important for me to learn about my client's interests and what makes them unique. The more I know about you, the better I am able to plan an extraordinary experience for you, the client.

Your vacation time is precious. Whether it is a long weekend get away or an entire summer holiday, my goal is to provide you with a vacation experience that surpasses all expectations and is unforgettable. It is my belief that your vacations starts the moment you lock up your home. How you get there is just as important as the destination. My job is to take the worry out of the planning, so all you have to do is worry about what to pack. It's time to remember what it's like to feel alive. Escape!
