About Me

Lindblad Expeditions, in partnership with National Geographic, is a global leader in expedition travel, offering immersive, small-ship voyages designed for curious travelers seeking meaningful exploration. For more than 50 years, Lindblad has set the standard for responsible, expert-led travel to some of the world’s most extraordinary and remote destinations.Each journey is built around discovery, education, and connection—to nature, wildlife, and local cultures. Voyages are led by exceptional expedition teams that include naturalists, scientists, historians, and National Geographic–certified guides, ensuring guests gain deep insight into the places they explore. Daily experiences often include Zodiac landings, guided hikes, kayaking, wildlife observation, and cultural encounters, with itineraries flexible enough to take advantage of changing conditions and rare opportunities.Lindblad’s fleet of purpose-built expedition ships carries a limited number of guests, allowing access to remote regions such as Antarctica, the Arctic, Galápagos Islands, Alaska, Greenland, Iceland, and beyond—places where larger ships simply cannot go. Onboard, travelers enjoy a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere focused on learning, shared experiences, and storytelling rather than traditional cruise entertainment.Traveling with Lindblad Expeditions means traveling with purpose. Sustainability, conservation, and respect for the natural world are at the core of every voyage, creating journeys that are not only unforgettable, but also deeply meaningful. For travelers who want to explore the planet with insight, integrity, and inspiration, Lindblad Expeditions offers a truly exceptional way to see the world.

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.
