Meet michael
owner, founder
I believe the success of every trip, big or small, is ultimately defined by the connection we experience. It could be something as intimate as wine tasting at an authentic local vineyard or as big as a multi-generational trip to connect with family and heritage. The things we remember are those experiences that made us feel connected to the destination and the memories we carry forward once we return home.
As a 30+ year global advertising executive, I was blessed with the ability to travel extensively throughout the world, experiencing many destinations and cultures. Client service, creativity and meticulous planning were at the core of my profession, allowing me to curate impactful and successful results throughout my career. Travel has also been a constant for my family, starting with my wife and me and evolving as we grew our family. We believe travel continues to expand our family's view of the world, providing a more profound sense of appreciation for its diversity.
I’ve now taken my passion, married it to my professional skills, and made it my career as a travel advisor. I look forward to working together and creating travel memories for you and your loved ones that last a lifetime.

about outer boundaries travel
It begins with a fundamental truth; that we all have a basic need to seek out and connect. And we establish and nurture those connections through positive and rewarding experiences.
At Outer Boundaries, we believe the experience of discovery should transcend the ordinary. It's about moving beyond fleeting moments and tourist traps to forge authentic bonds with the places, people and cultures you encounter. Imagine sharing laughter over a home-cooked meal with a local family in their home, stumbling upon a hidden waterfall with a local guide, or witnessing a breathtaking sunrise from a mountaintop monastery, guided by a local monk. These immersive experiences, born from genuine connection, unlock a profound sense of discovery, leaving you forever changed by the encounters and the newfound understanding they ignite.
And for our clients, we strive to be the connection they come to trust and rely on. A reliability that one of the most important experiences of their life is covered without reservation, without anxiety, without question. We want them to get it through an experience that is honest, trustful and transparent. An experience that is genuine. An experience that transcends their expectations. If we deliver this experience, we rise to a higher level than our clients currently expect. A level that creates connections, not transactions. A level that turns antiquated agents into indispensable planning partners. And ultimately, a level that provides travel experiences that empower people to discover and connect to the world.
We are Outer Boundaries. Curating discovery through connection.
