About Me

Group Travel, Corporate Travel, Impact Travel

I believe that tourism can be a force for good.

In March of 2016 I took a leap of faith, and quit my travel corporate job to begin the journey of a lifetime and develop one of the first full-service travel consulting Benefit Corporation in the country.

What makes us different is that I have ensured and committed that my organization will create social & environmental change with travel experiences. I will help you identify your next journey and guarantee the highest levels of services.

Furthermore, I promise that your travel experience will create positive change in the world.

My Background

I earned my 4-year undergraduate degree in Travel and Tourism from Arizona State University, traveled the world as a socially responsible traveler to places like Mexico, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Hawaii. My corporate social responsibility & sales work with Hilton Hotels Worldwide brings the knowledge, expertise, and insights to new and experienced travelers.

My focus is to help you identify your next socially and environmentally friendly travel experience.  My approach is simple, I consult and have a deep conversation, provide advice, support through the travel experience, and help decipher your journey.
I help new and experienced travelers identify their next meaningful journey while positively impacting the world as they travel.

In addition, not only are you helping create change in the communities you travel to, but a percentage of our profit will be used to support our Youth See Innovation program, a development program that provides support, training, and networking opportunities for inner-city youth in NYC, and one day throughout the country.

Are you ready for your next Impact Travel experience?

Social Impact

"The Myght Team demonstrated brilliance to create a volunteer management platform, which was the heart of our Farm Fresh Festival for Kids.

Myght started with just an idea, and built a volunteer base to support and execute our 6000 person event.

Javier's thoughtful and thorough approach really made an impact.

He is a builder and believer of community. "

The best agent we could have met !
Reviewed By Lubi - Geneva | Traveled to Tulum ~ Mexico ~ Mexico
Mr Valdez was a great help for us and for our trip in general. We really liked the fact that he payed attention to our own needs and still found a way to make our travel as much ethical as possible on a social and environmental level). He helpt us for example to find a beautiful and romantic hotel that respected the environment. He had such an amazing expertise about Mexico that we didn't feel like tourists, we had the feeling that we were invited by someone who explained us the traditions and how to get the best of our trip. For example, he gave us advices about some restaurants and each time it was the best place we have been to : not expensive at all, the best food and we were happy that our money was really financing local people. Mr Valdez is so helpful, you can ask him a question anytime and he always have something to respond. He is very helpful with the organisation and very present during and after our trip. He is definitely very trustful and his recommandations are excellent!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

One of the best trip !
Reviewed By Kerim - Montréal | Traveled to Las Vegas ~ Nevada ~ USA
Mr Valdez was an amazing travel agent for me and my girlfriend !
He helped us to find the best accomodation we wanted for our trip and because of his expertise and dedication, we saved a lot of money and time ! We had an amazing hotel, one of the best for a very low price.
I must confess that without his help we probably wouldn't have envoyed our trip that much. He took care of everything for us and he always answered my questions, even after the trip.
So I recommand him if you want to save money, time and if you are looking for a great custromer service. Mr Valdez verified that everything was fine during our trip, and gave us so much good advices, I will ask for his help again for my next trip without any hesitation !
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best trip to date
Reviewed By Warren B - New York, Ny | Traveled to Mexico
Javier was very instrumental in providing recommendations and travel trips for our trip to Mexico last month. He was able to save us a few hundred dollars by helping us to decide on our hotel, flight and excursion options. Mr. Valdez actively listened to our needs and gave us a plethora of information which resulted in us having one of the best trips to date. For example, my girlfriend and I wanted to maximize a 4 day weekend getaway to Mexico filled with visits to historical sites, beach access and an opportunity to experience local restaurants. With this in mind Javier recommended that we stay in Playa Del Carmen. Staying here gave us access to Mayan temples an hour away as well as allowed us the advantage of having local restaurants and the beach within a half block radius of our hotel. Convenience was key in making the most of our 4 day weekend away from NY and Javier was able to provide this for us while saving us money as a bonus.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Myght is mighty awesome!
Reviewed By Rudy - New York, NY | Traveled to Kathmandu ~ Nepal ~ Central Asia
Javier was exceptional! He provided me with all the details I needed to ensure that my trip was planned exactly the way I wanted it. Also, he shared information on local sites, restaurants, and other interesting destinations to explore during my trip. This is by far the best experience I've ever had with a travel expert. I'm definitely booking all of my future trips with Myght!

Javier goes the extra mile!
Reviewed By Elisa - Sydney, Australia | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Javier was of great assistance in helping to coordinate a trip for a group of us which involved exploring and volunteering in Cuba and the Dominican Republic. While the others were from the USA, I am from Australia which must have represented an additional logistical challenge for Javier but he never complained! He was on call leading up to the trip, during the trip itself and afterwards. Always friendly, very helpful and prompt with his assistance - even the weekend he got married and was on his honeymoon! Javier goes above and beyond and was a pleasure to liaise with. Thank you!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
