THE VACATION DESK

Welcome to your PTO Help Desk ✨

Hi! I’m Alex, and I’ve been traveling around the world and planning vacations for over a decade. The Vacation Desk is where I share my recommendations, tips, favorite villas & hotels, trusted taxi contacts and excursions, and general advice to help you plan your best vacation. Helping people plan their vacations is truly my life’s calling and what I spend the most time doing instead of giving my mom grandchildren.

Curious what you can find here?

If you’re looking for a list of everywhere I’ve been in each country & a quick review, check out my Google Map Guides!
Looking for itineraries, guides, and favorite stays by country? See countries below and Places above!
Do you manage a hotel or villa and need new professional promotional videos and photos like this one? My friends and I can also help with video production!
Interested in what it’s like to fly standby on United Airlines and why I fly for free? I’ll start writing about that soon, but checkout my standby journeys in my TikTok highlights in the meantime!
