About Me

My name is John Staggs, and travel has been the heartbeat of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Germany gave me an early appreciation for rich history, diverse cultures, and the value of experiencing life beyond your own backyard. I married my incredible wife from Ireland, and together, we’ve continued our passion for discovery—journeying across continents, cruising oceans, and uncovering unforgettable destinations that have shaped who we are today.With over 56 years of life experience and a passport full of stamps, I bring a wealth of global knowledge, personal insight, and a deep commitment to helping my clients craft travel experiences that are as extraordinary as they are seamless. Whether it’s sipping wine in the hills of Tuscany, enjoying the vibrant culture of Mexico’s finest all-inclusive resorts, or cruising the breathtaking fjords of Alaska, I’ve been there—and I know how to help you get there too.As a full-service travel advisor, I specialize in:European Escapes: From Parisian elegance to the charming countryside of Ireland and the romantic cities of Italy, I create itineraries that combine must-see landmarks with hidden gems.Luxury Cruises: Whether you dream of a Mediterranean voyage, a South Pacific sailing, or a journey through Alaska's icy wonderland, I know how to match you with the perfect ship, stateroom, and shore excursions.Fiji, Australia & New Zealand: These dream destinations offer some of the most stunning landscapes and warm hospitality in the world. I’ll help you discover the best islands, resorts, and experiences for an unforgettable South Pacific adventure.Mexico All-Inclusive Resorts: I’ve personally visited and vetted many of Mexico’s top resorts.

I work closely with every client to understand their unique interests, travel style, and goals.

Wonderful experience
Reviewed By Susan Z - Seattle WA | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
John was very professional and always available. He gave me great information and was open and honest. He didn't try to sell me anything but gave me great advice. I really enjoyed working with John and we spoke recently and he is helping me plan our next trip. I found John on a google search for travel agents and he was rated 5 stars. I have passed John's name and contact information to a lot of my friends. I can't say enough about how professional and friendly he is. Thanks for everything!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Germany trip and Bayern Munich game
Reviewed By Daniel - San Francisco CA | Traveled to Germany ~ Europe
The travel services John provided for our 12 day trip from California to Germany were exceptional.



The purpose of the trip was to visit Germany for the first time and take my son to his first professional German soccer game in Munich to see Bayern Munich.



John arranged outstanding tickets for the soccer game, excellent hotel accommodations, transportation, and day trips to tour the sites we wanted to see. Service was impeccable.



Many thanks!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Thank you so much!
Reviewed By Brenda M - Fresno CA | Traveled to Cabo San Lucas ~ Baja California Sur ~ Mexico
John was amazing and so helpful. All we knew is we wanted to go somewhere on a beach that would be all inclusive. John was very patient and was a great listener and he sent us several options in different countries that we could choose from for our trip. Once we made our decision on our destination, John set everything up for us from start to finish. We cannot thank him enough for making our trip one of the most memorable vacations we have ever had.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

We didn't have to worry about a thing
Reviewed By Tim B - Sacramento CA | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
John did a great job at organizing our vacation during a time we were nervous about traveling to Ireland. He is a total pleasure to work with, always being professional, courteous and friendly. Was constantly a step ahead with everything we needed, and with those things we didn't know we needed.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
