I’m Rob Sturdy, an independent travel advisor who helps travelers make sense of all the choices that come with planning a vacation.
Some people come to me with a trip they already found and want a second look before booking. Others are starting with nothing more than a destination idea and a few possible dates.
Either way, my goal is simple: make the process feel easier, more personal, and more organized.
Instead of trying to keep track of resorts, prices, dates, links, and ideas across a long chain of emails, your Trip Board gives us one organized place to begin.
It helps me understand what matters to you, narrow down the options, and build the next step around the kind of trip you actually want.
Start with your destination, dates, travel group, and vacation style. I’ll use those details to begin building your personalized options.
Already found a resort, cruise, package, or quote? Send me the details so I can take a closer look before you book.
You won’t be handed off to a random call center or bounced between different people every time you have a question.
From our first conversation through the trip itself, I’m here to help compare options, answer questions, and keep the process moving.
Whether you’re choosing between two destinations, comparing resorts, reviewing a cruise itinerary, or trying to understand what is actually included in a vacation package, you’ll know exactly who you’re working with.
I can help with many kinds of travel, but these are the areas I focus on most.
Compare islands, resorts, beaches, all-inclusive options, and vacation styles to find the right Caribbean destination.
Explore Caribbean Vacations →Compare cruise destinations, routes, ports, cruise lines, itineraries, and planning details before you choose a sailing.
Explore Cruises →Plan resort golf vacations, group getaways, annual trips, famous-course experiences, and warm-weather golf escapes.
Explore Golf Trips →Compare Detroit weekends, road games, hotels, destinations, and fan travel ideas for the football season.
View Lions Travel Guide →Build a romantic getaway around the destination, resort style, experiences, and pace that feel right for both of you.
Explore Honeymoons →Compare family-friendly resorts, cruises, destinations, room options, activities, and easier ways to travel together.
Explore Family Getaways →Compare Disney, Universal, coaster parks, water parks, resorts, ticket options, and complete theme park trips.
Explore Theme Parks →When I’m not working on vacations, you’ll usually find me golfing, collecting sports cards, or following the Detroit Lions.
That Lions obsession eventually turned into creating my Detroit Lions Travel Guide, where I help fans compare road trips, home-game weekends, hotels, and travel ideas throughout the season.
A lot of the relationships I build with clients feel more like conversations with friends than a typical sales process—and honestly, that’s exactly how I prefer it.
Whether you want help planning a vacation from scratch or you’d like me to review something you already found, everything begins in the same place.
