Behind every great journey,
someone makes it all work.
Tour guide. Technologist. Founder.
I’ve seen travel from both sides: the experience people remember, and the coordination that makes it possible.
My background combines guiding tours, computer science and an MBA. Since founding Manage Your Trip in 2012, I’ve focused on the daily work behind a trip: quoting, suppliers, participants, payments and the handoffs between them.
That’s the lens I bring to technology. Start with how people actually work. Understand where time gets lost. Build something that helps.
Building for tour operators
Let’s speak your language
Ideas for the people building, running and growing travel businesses. Drawn from the questions I keep coming back to.
Every time trip details move between an inbox, a spreadsheet and a proposal, the team spends time rebuilding information it already has.
Your team’s knowledge is already there: programs, supplier choices and what worked before. Making it usable is where the opportunity begins.
A busy departure calendar can hide a demanding account. Look at the coordination it takes to deliver a trip alongside the revenue it brings.
An itinerary draft becomes more useful when it starts with your own programs, destinations and operating knowledge. Your expert team still shapes the journey.
Traveler feedback can improve the next departure, supplier choice or briefing. Give those lessons somewhere to live after the group returns.
Processes that feel manageable with a handful of trips can become a bottleneck as departures multiply. The handoffs deserve attention early.
My work connects travel expertise with systems that support the people doing the work.
Software for tour operators and DMCs, connecting the trip lifecycle from quotation and itinerary to suppliers, participants and operational accounting.
