With an engineering degree from MIT and 14 years in derivatives sales at Bank of America, I bring a different kind of precision to travel design: the same attention to detail and problem-solving, paired with a genuine curiosity for local traditions, food, wine, and how a place actually works. I partner with trusted hoteliers and local experts to build itineraries that hold together as a trip, not just a list of good hotels, tailored around how you actually love to travel.
Engineering precision meets a passion for genuine cultural discovery.
For travelers who already know where they want to stay. Book your property through me to unlock VIP status, with perks like breakfast, resort credits, and priority room upgrades, at no extra cost.
A flexible, high-level blueprint for independent travelers. I map out your route, balance the pacing, secure your hotel stays, and put together a tailored list of local recommendations, so you have a strong plan and the freedom to run with it once you're there.
Complete planning from arrival to departure. Beyond hotels and routing, I build and book your entire daily program, from private local experiences and sought-after dining to transfers arranged before you land. While you're traveling, you have a local contact in your time zone, for anything that comes up.

Birthday trip to Vienna
"One of the highlights was the unexpected upgrade to a beautiful suite. It elevated the entire experience."
Our trip to Vienna exceeded every expectation, and a big part of that was thanks to Rubén. From the moment we started planning, he curated a truly luxurious and seamless experience, taking care of every detail and ensuring that everything was tailored to our preferences. The itinerary struck the perfect balance between Vienna's rich culture, fine dining, and elegant accommodations. It was clear throughout the journey that Rubén has excellent relationships, impeccable attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to creating exceptional travel experiences. We felt looked after from start to finish and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a premium, stress-free, and truly special getaway.

Honeymoon in Patagonia & Brazil
"What had taken us months of procrastinating became a fully planned trip within the week."
Ruben knocked it out of the park in planning our honeymoon. What he brings to the table is his intuition—he tailors experiences that are ahead of the curve. We booked our trip in the fall, and by early next year, Michelin awarded two of our booked hotels three and two Michelin Keys in its inaugural year, with the two-Key property also named the Number 1 Vineyard in the World. Leading up, it was as if we had planned the meals and activities ourselves—it fit our tastes and pace perfectly. He even coordinated with each hotel to include personal notes, printed wedding photos, and our wedding songs in our rooms. He'll be planning all our future travel because this is what vacation is supposed to look like.
