I’m not your typical travel agent.
Most travel advisor “About Me” pages are full of stock beach photos and promises to “find you the best deals.” That’s not really what I’m doing here. Every photo you see on this page was actually taken during our own vacations—either on my phone or purchased from photographers we met along the way. This site is built on real travel experiences, not stock images and marketing slogans.
My name is William, and I started Travel x Design because I believe travel should be an intentional experience, not a transaction. For years, I traveled the world as a self-planner—scouring blogs, booking my own flights, and designing my own itineraries. I did it because I didn’t trust the industry. I had seen the “pushy” agents, the influencers chasing views, and the MLMs (Multi-Level Marketing companies) that felt more like a sales trap than a service.
The “Why” Behind the Design
I don’t do this for the “bread and butter.” This isn’t my primary income, which gives me a superpower most agents don’t have: The ability to say no.
If a trip isn’t worth your money, I’ll tell you. If a resort is all “hype” and no substance, I’ll find you a better alternative. My background isn’t in sales; it’s in the genuine pursuit of a well-designed life. I care about the lighting in a hotel lobby, the authenticity of a local tour, and the logistical flow of a journey.
The OutsideAgents Partnership
After extensive research—and a few “experiments” in the industry that didn’t sit right with my conscience—I chose to partner with OutsideAgents. Why? Because they are the “diamond in the rough.” They allow me to access the global inventory of a massive agency while maintaining the boutique, high-integrity approach that my clients deserve.
My Promise to You
I’m a researcher by nature and a traveler by heart. I’m not here to “sell” you a vacation; I’m here to help you design one.
- No Gatekeeping: I share what I know.
- No Pressure: If my services aren’t a fit, I’ll be the first to tell you.
- Full Transparency: We are in this together.
Whether you are looking for a minimalist retreat or a complex multi-city voyage, I treat your itinerary with the same obsession I give my own.
