You bring the reason to get away. Curt brings the research, options, and steady help that turn a good idea into a trip that feels right from the start.

A better way to plan
Planning a meaningful trip can get complicated quickly. A resort that looks perfect may have room categories that change the experience. The lowest flight can create a tight connection. A cruise itinerary can look similar on paper while the ship, cabin, and port days feel completely different once you are there.
Curt Chandler is the person behind My Travels Guy. Based in Eugene, Oregon, he works one-on-one with travelers who want a trip shaped around their people, pace, and priorities. That might mean a quiet adults-only beach week, a family escape with enough room to breathe, a honeymoon that feels personal, or a major event worth building a whole weekend around.
Instead of sending you toward a generic package, Curt starts by learning what matters most: the destination, the budget, the dates, the kind of room, and the moments you do not want to leave to chance. Then he helps turn those preferences into options you can compare with confidence.
Beach escapes, all-inclusive resorts, honeymoons, anniversary trips, cruises, destination weddings, and once-in-a-lifetime events all need different kinds of planning. Curt helps you choose the version that actually fits the occasion.
Resort locations, room categories, flights, hotel nights, transfers, excursions, dining plans, and tickets can work together instead of becoming a dozen separate decisions.
Curt stays close to the process from the first conversation through the trip itself. When a question comes up, you have a person who knows the plan and why each piece is there.
Before you book
The most useful planning starts before anyone compares a dozen tabs. Curt helps you talk through the questions that shape the trip: whether you want to stay put at a resort or see more of a destination, whether the room is a place to sleep or part of the experience, and whether a little more convenience is worth it for the way you want to travel.
For an all-inclusive escape, that can mean comparing a relaxed beachfront resort with a livelier property, choosing between a standard room and a suite with a better view, or understanding which restaurants, transfers, and experiences are really part of the plan. For a cruise, it can mean matching the ship and cabin to your pace, then making sure the flights and hotel nights around the sailing do not turn into an afterthought.
Couples often want to protect the feeling of the trip. Families want room to spread out and fewer surprises when they arrive. Groups need a plan that gives everyone enough confidence to say yes. Curt helps sort those practical needs early, so the choices in front of you make sense instead of merely looking good in a photo.
It is also fine to arrive with a destination already chosen. A good advisor does not take over the trip. He helps you see the better options, catch the tradeoffs, and leave with a plan that feels more like your own.

Not every trip needs the same amount of help, either. Some travelers want a sounding board before they book a resort they already found. Others want support shaping the whole trip from the first idea through the travel day. Curt meets you where you are, then gives the details the attention they deserve. The result should feel considered, not overcomplicated.
Meet Curt
Curt focuses on travel where the details make a real difference: all-inclusive beach stays, couples and romance trips, cruises, culinary experiences, destination celebrations, and major sporting or live events. He brings a calm, practical approach to the parts that are easy to overlook when you are trying to plan everything alone.
The goal is not to make the trip complicated. It is to make the choices clearer. You get candid help weighing the tradeoffs, thoughtful options that match your travel style, and a plan that feels more settled before you leave Eugene.
More about CurtFrom idea to itinerary
A first conversation does not need to come with a finished spreadsheet. A month, a destination, a celebration, or even just a feeling is enough to begin. Curt will ask about the travelers, the budget range, the non-negotiables, and the kind of trip you want to have once the bags are down.
From there, the planning gets more specific. Maybe you are choosing between two adults-only resorts. Maybe a family needs connecting rooms, easy transfers, and a beach that does not feel crowded. Maybe the priority is a balcony, a great meal, a ship that feels calm, or a concert or game that needs the right hotel and timing around it. The details change, but the point is the same: make the trip fit before it is locked in.
Once the direction is clear, Curt can help bring together the travel pieces around it: flights, stays, transfers, excursions, and the practical notes that make arrival feel easier. You still make the decisions. You simply have a better view of the choices and a person who understands what the trip is supposed to be.
That is especially useful when the trip carries some weight. An anniversary, a honeymoon, a family milestone, a destination wedding, or a long-awaited cruise deserves more than a rushed late-night booking. It deserves a plan that lets you focus on the people you are going with and the memories you came home to make.
No. Curt is based in Eugene and works with travelers from across Oregon and beyond. A local conversation is always welcome, but the planning process also works well by phone and email.
Curt focuses on all-inclusive beach escapes, couples trips, honeymoons, destination celebrations, cruises, culinary travel, and major live events. He can also help tie together flights, hotel nights, transfers, tours, and the details around the main trip.
Yes. Knowing the destination is a helpful start, but the best resort, ship, room category, route, and transfer plan still depend on the experience you want. Curt can narrow the choices and make sure the pieces fit together.
Earlier gives you more room to compare options, especially for popular travel windows, destination weddings, cruises, and special room categories. Even when the trip is closer, it is still worth asking what is available.
