Owner/Travel Advisor

After a 20-plus year career in the legal industry, culminating with my bulding a global team of electronic discovery project managers for JP Morgan Chase, I started a second career that leveraged the skills for planning and organization that I had developed in a field that I am truly passionate about--travel.  I have been blessed in my life to travel extensively from a young age, for both business and pleasure, and feel strongly that encountering individuals from other nations and cultures enriches our lives immesurable.  I have planned and embarked on many of my dream vacations and those trips with my spouse and children, or with other famly or friends comprise many of my most treasured memories.  What trips have you been dreaming about?  I can help you with all of the details required to turn that dream vacation into your own treasured memories. 

Don't put off your dreams!

Norm Buchbinder

Owner/Travel Advisor

I traveled extensively both personally and during my 30 year career in financial services and always found the world to be a beautiful palette of cultures that needed to be admired and experienced.  As my children were growing up, we traveled often as a family to wondrous places, and my heart warmed watching the excitement on their faces as they saw glaciers for the first time or made new friends in a foreign land.  With my passion for travel and my sentimentality for the wonderful memories we created over the years, I embarked on a second career in travel to assist others with similar experiences.   

"Dream Vacations Start Here!” perfectly conveys how I view my role in taking your travel bucket list from ideas to reality.  I will facilitate the entire process for you and give you the attention you need and want!  I look forward to working with you!

Marc Eisner

Travel Advisor

With my first overseas trip at just three years of age, I’ve had the travel bug for a very long time. A 30-plus year career in the legal and tech consulting industries has seen me travel to six of the seven continents (the seventh is coming soon!), and when I wasn’t traveling for work, I found destinations for my family to explore and enjoy. I’ve long been my family’s go-to person for travel planning, and my second career as a travel advisor enables me to bring my passion for travel to help clients experience the wonders and culture (and food!) the world has to offer. Where can I help you explore next? 

Marc lives in San Jose, California with his wife Jennifer, three cats and a bird.
