Harrison Staple | Founder & Luxury Travel Advisor
Featured Destinations: Australia, Italy, Hawaii, Greece, Costa Rica
Since 2021, I have channeled a lifelong passion for intentional travel into designing bespoke journeys for discerning clients. I founded Staple Travel LLC to provide a seamless, personalized alternative to the ordinary. Before entering the travel industry, I was a social studies teacher. That background fundamentally shapes my approach today: travel should be an avenue for authentic discovery and growth. We as travelers have distinct styles and interests, and my goal is to broaden horizons through immersive moments: balancing enriching cultural discovery with thrilling opportunities for adventure, wildlife encounters, and serene relaxation.
To deliver this level of insight, I prioritize firsthand experience and relationships with vetted industry partners. Luxury travel goes beyond what is attainable online; it requires boots-on-the-ground perspectives and an ethos that travel should not be treated as "one size fits all."
My own favorite travel moments are rooted in immersive experiences: flying by helicopter with the doors off over the Waimea Canyon of Kauai while the theme song of Jurassic Park plays through the headsets, diving alongside whale sharks in the Red Sea, and watching wild kangaroos box on Australia's Kangaroo Island.
As a Premier Aussie Specialist (a select, government-recognized designation reflecting deep destination expertise), I hold a passion for Australia as an extraordinary destination, having climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, dived the Great Barrier Reef, and interacted with wildlife that literally cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
Every journey has the potential to inspire growth. Travel has the power to connect us more deeply to the world and to ourselves. It is a reminder that the world is vast, full of wonder, and best experienced with intention. I look forward to helping you craft your next elevated adventure.
Alyssa Koppel | Luxury Travel Advisor
I believe that traveling the world can truly transform your perspective and connect you to people in a way like no other. I love sharing my passion for travel with my clients, sending them on incredible trips, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
I began my career as a pediatric nurse, and now I channel my natural aptitude for meticulous care and planning into my work as a travel advisor. The skills I honed in nursing - attentiveness, critical thinking, and anticipating needs - are the same ones I use to design flawless, personalized itineraries.
My personal favorite destinations include Italy, Israel, and South Africa. I will never forget the raw, thrilling moment of watching a pack of wild dogs hunt an antelope on safari in South Africa. Witnessing the circle of life in this unscripted place, right in front of my eyes, was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Equally memorable was the feeling of standing on the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, looking out over thousands of years of history, shaped by so many different cultures and religions.
As a mom to a 3-year old daughter, I deeply understand the value of time and the need for seamless execution, and these factors are central to every itinerary I design. When you partner with me, I will handle the logistics and anticipate every detail. I will ensure your trip is not just a vacation, but a curated, unforgettable adventure, managed by an expert committed to your well-being every step of the way.
