James Wallace

My love for travel started with books—reading about incredible places and dreaming of seeing them for myself. That curiosity eventually turned into real-world experiences, especially during my time in the military, where I had the opportunity to live and travel throughout Asia, including Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. Those experiences shaped how I plan trips today: thoughtfully, intentionally, and with a deep appreciation for culture and place.

I believe luxury travel looks different for everyone. For some, it’s an elegant cruise with seamless service; for others, it’s a carefully paced land journey filled with meaningful moments, incredible food, and unforgettable scenery. My role is to listen first, then design a trip that fits your idea of luxury.

I specialize in upscale, custom-crafted travel for couples, families, and groups, including luxury cruises with lines such as Norwegian, Viking, Ponant, and Explora, as well as land-based journeys and safaris through partners like Abercrombie & Kent and Kensington. From Alaska cruises and European culinary experiences to spiritually enriching destinations like Bhutan, I create personalized itineraries that balance comfort, adventure, and authenticity.

Who I Work Best With

• Travelers who value expert guidance and personalized planning
• Couples and families seeking meaningful, well-paced experiences
• Clients who want someone to handle the details while they enjoy the journey

What It’s Like to Work With Me

I begin every relationship with a complimentary planning conversation. This allows us to talk through your ideas, priorities, and timing before diving into details. From there, I guide you step by step through a clear, organized planning process—no overwhelm, no pressure.

If you’re still early in the planning phase, that’s perfectly fine. I’m happy to help you explore options and determine next steps.
