Hi, I'm Matt, and I'm your go-to guide for incredible adventures! Based right here in sunny Phoenix, Arizona, I turned my love for travel into a full-blown passion for creating extraordinary experiences. No matter what kind of traveler you are, if you're looking for a trip that will give you maximum value for your money and is all about soaking in new cultures, you've come to the right place.

I'm all about making your hard-earned money go the extra mile. Picture this: ocean cruises, land trips, and group escapades, all carefully picked to give you the best bang for your buck. Why settle for just a vacation when you can have a journey that's as enriching as it is affordable?

I'm on a mission to ensure you get the most value out of your budget. And I don't just plan trips; I live and breathe travel. That means when I'm setting up your adventure, I'm just as excited as you are! Plus, I'm all about the details. Meticulous planning is my secret weapon, making sure nothing gets overlooked.

Expect the unexpected when you travel with me. I'm not just booking trips; I'm crafting experiences that'll blow your mind. My goal? To turn your travel dreams into unforgettable realities, leaving you with memories that stick around long after the trip is over.

Now, let's talk about my personal travel experience –I've explored Europe six times and South America five times, soaking in everything from historical landmarks in Europe to the stunning landscapes and delicious eats in South America.

And when it comes to expertise, I've got the badges to prove it. Training with big names like Virgin Voyages, Amawaterways, Viking, Avalon Waterways, Princess Commodore, NCL Masters, Royal Caribbean, Globus brands, and Avalon Waterways – I've got the inside scoop on making your trip top-notch.

I recently planned a group cruise for 12 to the breathtaking landscapes of Alaska with NCL. Coordinating from two different locations, I made sure everything from meals to group excursions in Juneau went off without a hitch.

Beyond travel, I'm a bit of a gamer. Board games, video games – you name it, I'm into it. It's not just a hobby; it's a social thing for me. Just like planning trips, I love bringing people together from all walks of life.

So, if you're into exploring new places, trying awesome foods, and creating unforgettable memories, I'm your travel buddy. From passport check reminders to the day you pack your bags, I'm here to make your journey as smooth as possible. Let's hit the road and discover the world together – reach out today to get started!

 

 

The love our Clients have shown

Awesome Trip! Reviewed By Flaw_bra - Lisbon, PT | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe I had the best experience with Terra Explored Travel. All the hotels booked were excellent, with great prices and good locations. Moreover, I want to highlight the wise choice of the itinerary that included Lisbon, Porto, Santiago de Compostela, Salamanca, and Badajoz. These are cities rich in history and stunning monuments, with reasonable driving times between them. The car rental was also a positive aspect provided by Terra Explored, as they chose a very comfortable car at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this company, which provides a seamless experience, allowing ample time to enjoy every moment in the beautiful landscapes of Portugal and Spain.

From our very first meeting Matthew was very friendly and informative. He gave us many options and made our booking process a seamless. He kept us updated with details and reminders as we approached our cruise date. He even recommended alternative shore activities when the excursion we wanted was fully booked. We will definitely recommend Matthew to all our friends and will book with him again. Matthew thank you for helping us make amazing memories!!

Super Hero Saves Vacation fro Disaster
Reviewed By Andy - Laveen, Arizona | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
My vacation would have been an absolute disaster had Matthew not swooped in to save it. Plane delay meant hotel was needed at drop of a hat and he arranged transport from airport to hotel instantly. Travelling to Japan we were 16hrs ahead but that didnt phase him. Dropping suggestions for itinerary along the way and booking alternate stays as we changed what we had planned multiple times. Will not travel without him ever again. Took all the stress out and replaced it with relaxation.

Huge shout out to Matthew at Terra Explored Travel! He was absolutely wonderful to work with. From the very beginning, he provided every detail I needed to ensure my family trip was completely seamless. When I started to get nervous right before traveling, Matthew took the time to calm my worries and even went the extra mile of researching information for me to make sure I was fully prepared.

Dream Honeymoon!
Reviewed By Laine S - Arizona | Traveled to Cozumel | Quintana Roo | Mexico
Matt was absolutely incredible to work with, and we are so grateful for everything he did to help us book our dream honeymoon. From the very beginning, he was patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping us figure out what we wanted. We went back and forth a few times as we compared options and refined our plans, and Matt never made us feel rushed or like we were a burden. He explained everything clearly, answered every question, and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Because of Matt, we ended up with a honeymoon that felt perfectly tailored to us, and we had complete confidence that every detail was handled. If you are looking for a travel planner who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cares, Matt is the one. We cannot recommend him enough
