Based in World
Hello! I'm Thomas Spears, a Boston-based travel advisor with a passion for curating unique and memorable travel experiences. My expertise spans Southeast Asia, boutique travel, and the culinary delights of food and wine. Fluent in English and French, with conversational skills in Spanish, German, and Italian, I strive to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds. My travel philosophy is to blend the charm of boutique accommodations with the comforts of luxury. I seek out properties and experiences that harmonize with their local environments while offering high-end amenities and exceptional dining. Whether it's flying with a new airline, embarking on a scenic train journey, staying in a UNESCO World Heritage hotel, dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant, or savoring local wines, I embrace all facets of travel to enrich your journey. One of my favorite destinations is Chiang Mai, Thailand. This city, rich in culture and history, offers a serene escape from the bustling southern beaches. I had the pleasure of staying at Villa Mahabhirom, a boutique hotel that beautifully blends traditional Thai architecture with modern comforts. The tranquil atmosphere and personalized service made it a memorable experience. For those seeking a quiet luxury retreat, I recommend La Valise San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. This charming boutique hotel combines Mexican heritage with contemporary elegance, providing a peaceful haven in the heart of the historic city. I also have a deep appreciation for the art of train travel. The Belmond's Royal Scotsman and the Golden Eagle offer short journeys through breathtaking landscapes, providing a luxurious experience akin to staying in a five-star hotel that changes cities each morning. Travel is not just about visiting new places; it's about immersing oneself in the local culture, savoring authentic cuisines, and creating lasting memories. I'm here to help you navigate the world of travel, ensuring your experiences are as enriching and enjoyable as possible. Let's embark on this journey together!
