Out of all the things I love about travel, the few that resonate the most with me are-

  • The incredible privilege to see, touch, and experience history firsthand.
  • The opportunity to step outside my bubble, meet new people and develop new perspectives. This truly has shaped the choices I make and how I navigate life.
  • The privilege to find humility in the vastness of it all—realizing that I am just a small small part in this incredible, interconnected world.

✨ How It All Started

Like everything else in life, I blame this on my parents. 😉

Growing up, summer meant one thing—travel. My parents, hardworking middle-class dreamers, saved every penny they could to ensure we could take a trip each year. No matter how big or small the budget was, travel was non-negotiable.

Those road trips and journeys shaped my core memories that I still tap into, decades later. Even as I left for college, my parents continued their tradition—setting off on summer trips that became a source of inspiration (and a little envy) for both their peers and mine.

Fast forward. I grew up! My turn at becoming that "hardworking" middle-class "adult" (eye roll). I simply had assumed they would spend their later years collecting more passport stamps, but instead, I watched their world shrink. And noticably—many others, across different life stages, were facing their own travel hesitations.

🚀 Why I Started 50flyingfish

Some travelers worry about navigating a foreign country. Others dream of taking "the-trip-of-a-lifeime" but don’t know where to start.

After willfully selling your soul to the corporate Lucifer, you deserve more than just another trip—you need an escape that actually feels like one, with stress-free travel planning built in (Think -- watching a ballet performance by the Northern Lights or sipping champagne on a private yacht).

At 50FlyingFish, we get to wrestle the devil (details), and you get to put your feet up, feel the wind under your wings, and actually enjoy your vacation.

For those craving something wilder, I open doors to hidden, off-the-map destinations you won’t find in a typical travel package.

Luxury isn’t always about just fancy hotels or perfectly curated Instagram moments—it’s also about stepping away from the chaos, reclaiming your time, and soaking in moments that actually matter. Speaking of, here’s my shameless plug: Follow @50flyingfish for some fun travel goals.

🌟 Travel Beyond Boundaries

Most travel agencies give you an itinerary, which works perfectly for some. At 50flyingfish, I give you a story. Whether it’s waking up to elephants outside your window, making eye contact with a polar bear in the Arctic, or sailing the Nile like an Agatha Christie protagonist, your trip should be as extraordinary as you are.
