I'm not a commission-chasing travel agent. My background is in history, defense and foreign policy analysis, and international humanitarian work. That means I've spent years studying countries, cultures, people, and risks. That knowledge goes directly into every itinerary I design. Itineraries are commission-free and built entirely around the client's preferences and vision. Every package includes some level of risk assessment, whether at the country, city, or neighborhood level. Twelve Tine Travel exists because great travel planning is genuinely hard, genuinely time-consuming, and genuinely rare.
