Puglia, Italy
We only send you where we have been.
Bespoke trips to the places we know firsthand, designed by a couple who has actually been there.
Individual, Inspired, Firsthand
We plan trips to places we know by heart. Not a cookie cutter experience.
From island escapes in the Caribbean to slow drives through Tuscany and ski weeks out west, we design luxury travel that is fully tailored to you and drawn entirely from places we have explored ourselves. Every journey begins with listening, to what excites you and how you want to feel, then we curate the hotels, guides, and experiences we already know and trust.
St Lucia, Where We Said Yes
We love travel so much, we got married on the other side of it.
We chose St Lucia, under Petit Piton, barefoot on a jetty at golden hour. It is the clearest proof of how we work. We had been to the island, we knew the bay, we knew which light to plan the day around, and we knew the walk from the sand to the water was the moment worth building everything else on. That is the same firsthand knowledge we bring to your trip, whether it is a wedding, a honeymoon, or simply a week you will talk about for years.
Where To Next
What kind of trip are you?
A quick way to point you in the right direction. Discover whether you are an island explorer, a Mediterranean wanderer, or a mountain seeker.
Question one of 3
How do you want the days to move?
Bespoke luxury travel, tailored to you. Do not spend your vacation ticking boxes for someone else's perfect trip.
Inspiration
Stories from the road
We Are Jamie And Travis
We are Jamie and Travis. An ER nurse and a merchant marine, and two regular people who decided a long time ago to make travel a priority. Our schedules are anything but normal, and that turned out to be a gift. It lets us get on planes, rent cars, and explore the places we love, again and again. Every trip taught us something. The right town to base in, the drive worth taking, the mistake not to repeat. From our very first trip to our latest one, we have only gotten better at this, and Firsthand Travel Co. is how we share it. So your trip skips the rookie mistakes and goes straight to the good part. The money comes and goes. The memories are what you look back on. You do not have to be rich. You just have to decide the experience is worth it. That is who we plan for.

What Our Travelers Say
We told Jamie and Travis we wanted the Amalfi Coast without the crowds, and they knew exactly where to send us. The town they picked, the little restaurant down the steps, the boat guy who took us out for the afternoon. None of it was stuff we would have found on our own. It felt like traveling with friends who had already done the homework.
