Travel should feel effortless from the first conversation.

After two decades working with high-profile clients across boutique travel agencies and international hospitality groups, Marc realized something was broken. Travelers were being processed through systems, passed between generic call centers, and offered packaged experiences dressed up as bespoke.

So in 2022, he set out to build something different — a small, focused practice where every inquiry is handled personally, where the person you speak with on day one is the person managing your trip on day 30, and where the standard isn't just "good service" but genuine care for every detail.

Adventure By You is the result: a luxury travel agency built for travelers who expect more.

Whether it's a Mediterranean villa for a family reunion, a private jet across the Pacific for an anniversary, or a two-week African safari curated down to the daily itinerary — every trip is designed from scratch, no templates, no shortcuts.

"The best trip isn't the most expensive one. It's the one that makes you forget you're traveling at all."

That philosophy shapes every decision, from the airlines we recommend to the properties we select to the way we follow up after you return home. We don't disappear after booking. We're there when you need us — and when you don't.

The Founder

Marc

Founder & Lead Travel Curator

Born in São Paulo, raised in London, now based between New York and wherever the next trip takes him — Marc has spent his career at the intersection of hospitality, logistics, and extraordinary experience.

He spent eight years as a VIP travel coordinator for a leading European tour operator, managing multi-week itineraries for executives, families, and celebrities across six continents. That experience gave him a rare depth of knowledge: which properties are worth it, which routes make sense, and how to navigate the thousand small decisions that separate a good trip from an unforgettable one.

Today, he brings that same rigor to every client — regardless of whether it's a solo journey or a party of twenty.

"I've seen what happens when travel planning becomes formulaic," he says. "And I've seen what happens when someone actually cares — when they know the difference between a standard suite and a corner suite with the right light, when they call ahead to confirm your dietary needs, when they call you after the trip just to hear how it went."

"That's the difference between a transaction and a relationship. That's what we're building here."

Why Adventure By You

What Sets Us Apart

One Person, Start to Finish

You deal with the same person from first inquiry to final return. No handoffs, no ticket numbers, no "let me transfer you."

Real-Time Trip Management

Flight delayed? Hotel overbooked? Restaurant fully booked? We handle it — often before you even notice there was a problem.

Genuinely Curated, Not Catalogued

We recommend properties and experiences because they're right for you — not because we have a partnership agreement. Trust is everything.

Off-Market Access

From sold-out villa weeks to private island day trips, our industry relationships open doors that aren't available to the general public.

Fully Vetted Suppliers

Every vendor, operator, and property in our network has been personally reviewed. We don't send clients somewhere we haven't been.

Concierge Follow-Through

Post-trip, we're still here. Welcome home emails, anniversary check-ins, and planning for your next chapter — that's the full relationship.
