Travel Consulting

Plan Less, Travel More
PERSONALIZED TRAVEL CONSULTING
After two decades of wandering the globe, living nomadically, and sharing my stories on Ottsworld, I’ve learned one thing: travel isn’t just about the destinations—it’s about the transformation it brings.
I’m here to help you ditch the overwhelm, avoid the cookie-cutter tourist traps, and craft travel experiences that inspire and energize you. Whether you’re planning your first big adventure, dreaming of a career break, or just need someone to help make sense of it all, I’ve got your back.
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
If that’s you, take a deep breath.
I’ve been there—and I can help
I am a professional in the travel industry who does this out my desire to get more people traveling and seeing the world. For 18 years I’ve given away free travel advice through my blog because I believe everyone should get to reap the rewards of travel. You deserve honest advice based on a trusted person’s experiences…not AI. I don’t recommend what I wouldn’t and haven’t personally booked.

Top Destinations
Anyone planning an itinerary for you should know the area really well so you can experience it like a local. Here are the areas I know best – Ireland, Japan, Alaska, Colorado, Nova Scotia, and Antarctica. I’ve been to these destinations multiple times, and I run small group tours in many of these destinations.
