hey there!
Hello! I’m James Strange, your dedicated travel advisor with a lifelong passion for exploring the world.
My journey began during my time in the Navy, where I had the incredible opportunity to visit vibrant destinations across Africa, Asia, and Australia. Those early adventures sparked a deep love for discovering new cultures, landscapes, and experiences.
In my professional career, I’ve continued traveling extensively, working on projects that took me throughout the Middle East, as well as both South and North America. These experiences have given me firsthand insight into a wide range of destinations—from bustling cities and remote locales to iconic landmarks and hidden gems.
Beyond work, I’m an enthusiastic personal traveler who’s always planning the next trip. I particularly enjoy a slightly luxurious style of travel: comfortable accommodations, thoughtful touches, and memorable experiences—without breaking the bank. I specialize in finding those perfect balances, like boutique hotels with great value, insider tips for elevated dining on a budget, and seamless itineraries that maximize enjoyment while keeping costs smart.
Whether you’re dreaming of an exotic escape, a relaxing getaway, or an adventure-filled journey, I’d love to help craft a trip that’s tailored just for you—drawing on real-world knowledge to make it effortless, enjoyable, and truly special.
Let’s start planning your next great adventure!
Working With me
Working with me as your travel advisor is all about making your precious vacation time truly count. I know you only get so much time off each year, so my goal is simple yet focused: to craft a trip that’s 100% tailored to what you want, delivering maximum enjoyment with zero unnecessary stress.
From our very first conversation, you’ll feel heard and understood. I start by listening closely to your preferences, your must-haves, your nice-to-haves, and even those little details that make a trip feel personal—like whether you prefer sunrise yoga on the beach, quiet evenings with great local wine, or adventures that get your heart racing just a bit. No cookie-cutter itineraries here; everything is built around your vision.
Drawing from my own extensive travels—from Navy days exploring Africa, Asia, and Australia, to professional projects across the Middle East and the Americas, plus countless personal adventures—I bring real-world insights to help you avoid common pitfalls and discover those special, value-packed experiences. I love finding that sweet spot of slightly luxurious travel: comfortable boutique stays, thoughtful upgrades, and elevated moments that feel indulgent without the extravagant price tag.
Throughout the process, I’m your reliable partner—handling the research, comparisons, bookings, and any last-minute tweaks so you can simply look forward to your getaway. You’ll get clear, practical recommendations, insider tips, and transparent options so decisions feel easy and exciting.
The result? A vacation that feels custom-made for you—one where every day is meaningful, relaxing where you need it to be, adventurous when you want it, and perfectly paced so you return refreshed and full of great stories.
