I recently partnered with my wife, Yvonne Hawley, through Journeys by Yvonne, where we specialize in designing thoughtfully curated travel experiences for individuals, families, and small groups around the world. What began as Yvonne’s passion for organizing memorable journeys has grown into a boutique travel advisory focused on highly personalized service and seamless global travel planning.

Over the years, Yvonne has successfully organized and hosted group journeys to destinations including Mexico City, South America, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Singapore. These trips combine cultural immersion, trusted local expertise, and carefully designed itineraries that allow travelers to experience each destination in a meaningful and authentic way.

When appropriate, one or both of us travel alongside our clients to ensure every aspect of the journey runs smoothly and that our guests feel supported from start to finish.Before entering the travel industry, I spent more than 35 years as an international financial advisor with leading global institutions including UBS and Merrill Lynch.

Throughout my career, I worked closely with clients around the world, helping them navigate complex decisions while building long-term relationships based on trust, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of individual goals. Those same principles guide the way we approach travel planning today.Together, Yvonne and I combine relationship-focused service with the global resources and trusted partnerships available through Global Travel Collection, allowing us to create travel experiences that are both highly personalized and supported by world-class industry connections.

We particularly enjoy helping travelers explore destinations through a combination of luxury cruises, private touring, and immersive cultural experiences. From expedition travel in Antarctica to historic cities across Europe, the natural beauty of South America, or the vibrant cultures of Asia, each journey is carefully designed to reflect the interests and aspirations of our clients.Travel has always been a powerful way to connect with the world and with one another. Whether planning a once-in-a-lifetime expedition, a multi-generational family trip, or a thoughtfully curated group journey, we take great pride in helping our clients turn travel dreams into lasting memories.

Looking ahead, Japan is high on our list of upcoming destinations—ideally combining both cruise and land experiences with expert local guides and carefully designed itineraries.Where will your next journey take you? We would be delighted to help bring your vision to life.
