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.

Vacation Stories
I have spent so much time (and money) traveling around the world because I prioritize vacations with my friends instead of saving for retirement. Then I share all of my tips, tricks, city guides, itineraries, favorite stays, and more so that you can plan your best vacation.
