For the last 20 years, I’ve done it all: roadtripping through Europe on a student budget, the business travel grind, and sipping champagne in first class on a luxury vacation. After two decades of figuring out what works and what’s a waste of money, I started Emerald Gate Adventures to share the good stuff—real travel advice, smart hacks, and digital tools that actually make your trips better.

Travel isn’t a hobby for me. It’s my normal. I’m on the road most weeks of the year, which means I’ve survived delayed flights, shady car rentals, and questionable “local specialties” so you don’t have to.

If you want glossy influencer fluff, this isn’t it. But if you want straight talk on where to go, how to save, and which traps to avoid, you’re in the right place. I’ll help you make smarter choices, see more of the world, and actually enjoy the ride.
