About Me

Hiking at Horshoe Bend
Hiking at Horshoe Bend

Growing up in the culturally rich Baltimore - Washington metropolitan area, I have always been a stone's throw away from three major cities, four international airports, two passenger rail terminals, and a bustling cruise port. This easy access to the world's thoroughfares sparked my passion for travel at an early age, introducing me to the vibrant tapestries of diverse cultures and the thrill of discovery while still a young child.

Since embarking on my professional path in 1999—and especially after launching HM Travel Design in 2014—I have expanded my reach to serve a diverse clientele across the entire United States. My clients come from myriad backgrounds and locations, yet share a common passion for exploration, having ventured to all seven continents.

My certifications as a Verified Travel Advisor (VTA) from the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) and a Certified Travel Associate (CTA) from the Travel Institute are testaments to my commitment and expertise in crafting travel experiences that promise more than just a journey.

I specialize in designing trips that are a perfect blend of adventure, cultural immersion, and rejuvenation. My goal is to tailor each experience precisely to your personal desires, ensuring that every trip is not just memorable but uniquely yours. I thrive on uncovering rare and exciting experiences tailored to your tastes — from hidden getaway spots to exhilarating adventures.

Beyond meticulously designing your trips, I pride myself on a robust worldwide network of local experts. These seasoned professionals are on the ground to enhance your travel experience, offering deep local insights and a safety net throughout your journey. Whether it’s navigating the bustling streets of a foreign city, finding that hidden local dining gem, or ensuring that each part of your itinerary is seamless, my team of local experts ensures you can travel with confidence and immerse yourself fully in every destination.

Your dream excursion awaits, and I am here to map it out with you. If you're looking for a travel partner to help script those incredible stories you'll tell for years, let’s connect. Together, we will plan not just trips, but lifetime memories. Ready to start your next adventure? Reach out, and let's turn your travel dreams into reality."

Testimonials I've Received

"Harry was amazing in putting together a complicated trip involving my family, my sister's family, and my parents, for their 50th anniversary. Three separate itineraries across Italy converged over several days on our cruise down the Adriatic. Harry organized all of our arrangements in port and on the boat, booked our excursions, and helped us out with advice and experience. It all came together beautifully. We will certainly be working with him on our next adventure." - Michael F.

A Honeymoon to Remember
Reviewed By The Christiansens - Des Moines, IA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Harry did a fantastic job planning our trip. My husband and I had never really traveled out of the country and are not very familiar with other countries. We didn't know where to go or what to do, but Harry worked with us to identify the perfect locations based on our interests. Every part of our trip went smoothly. We never had to worry about anything! The one time, we thought we had made a mistake, Harry promptly responded to our messages and ensured a smooth travel easing all our worries.

Harry's itinerary was truly perfect for us. He listened to what was important for us and created a trip that met our needs. He started us off with a half day tour in each city, which was ideal for getting to know the area and figuring out what else we wanted to explore.

It was honestly the perfect trip! We recommend using Harry for your travel needs!
Harry McKenzie responded
"Thank you for your kind words, Marcella and Jordan. I'm so happy that your honeymoon was so memorable for you. Referring your parents to me for their upcoming trip is the perfect compliment. Thank you for that, and thank you for choosing to plan your honeymoon with me. It was a pleasure working with you, and I look forward to planning your next trip!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Awesome Trip!
Reviewed By Jane - Parkville, MD | Traveled to Hawaii Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
My husband and I were very pleased with the travel services of Harry McKenzie for our recent trip to Hawaii. He took notes when I first spoke with him to determine the things that we like to see and do. Harry planned an itinerary that included the places we wanted to go, and it was within our budget. The financial paperwork was all very clear and could all be easily handled online. The process was simple. I was very impressed with the resorts that Harry chose for us. I also appreciated that all of our flights, resorts, rental car pick ups etc. were all timed perfectly. We had no issues. I was also pleased with Harry‘s responsiveness and communication with us. He was able to make recommendations even while we were away. He also notified us of a flight delay and kept us in the loop. I would definitely recommend Harry McKenzie‘s travel services.

An Absolute Pleasure!
Reviewed By C & D - Maryland | Traveled to Europe
Working with Harry was an absolute pleasure. The process was very straightforward and easy. We communicated our wishes for our vacation, he asked a few questions and then made all of the plans for us. The itinerary was well thought out and had great detail. The hotels were located in central locations within walking distance of our planned tours. When we had questions, he was available and could assist quickly. We recommend working with Harry for all your travel and vacation needs.

Croatian Honeymoon
Reviewed By Erica B - Bel Air, MD | Traveled to Croatia ~ Europe
We had an excellent experience with Harry, we could not recommend him enough. This was my first trip out of the country and he made the planning process seamless. He answered my million and one questions about different locations and asked us questions to get to know us to ensure the trip he plans was perfect for us. We decided on Croatia for our honeymoon and he included a few day trips that including going to Bosnia and Montenegro along with kayaking and another national park trip. These were some of the highlights of our trip! The hotels he chose for us were incredible 5-star experiences and the location of each (3 hotels) were prime spots and easily accessible to the towns. Our rides to and from different locations were always on time and the drivers booked got us from point A to B safely. I couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon! We are already trying to figure out where to next year!! And we will be sure to use Harry ;)
Harry McKenzie responded
"Thanks for the kind words Erica! Croatia definitely is a magical destination. I really enjoyed planning your honeymoon and I'm so glad that you both enjoyed yourselves. I look forward to working with you again on your next amazing adventure."
