Travel Made Easy

Imagine being able to design your own trip to anywhere in the world, but not having to do any of the planning or organization yourself. Just sit back, relax, and let the good times roll. That would be great!

Revolutionary Travel Idea

Everybody has their own preferred way of traveling and what may work for one person may not work for another. In my opinion, travel agents and tour operators are able to offer many good travel options, but also are lacking some of the more interesting and personal ones.

When I travel, I really like to take my time, get a real feel for the local culture, meet locals, see their lives, their friends, what being a local is really like.

This is the type of travel opportunities that I would like to offer to you. In some cases this means actually staying with a local family and in general using a local guide to help explore the local sites, food and customs.

Rather than creating package trips, I use my contacts to offer you a custom trip to virtually anywhere in the world. If you can imagine it, I will do my best to put your trip together for you.

Porthos Travel Network Spotlight

After traveling throughout the world, Shane and Debra Bilston wanted to start their own business that would allow them to continue meeting the same type of great people that they had met while traveling. They personally built their own home and offer the three guestrooms to travelers as a luxury Bed & Breakfast in Broome, Western Australia.

They had just opened their doors in June 2002 when Shane, who also moonlights as a plumber and ambulance paramedic, had an ambulance call to rescue two young backpackers who had just suffered a near fatal rollover automobile accident. The accident had left the two battered and bruised, half of their possesions destroyed or missing, and a uninsured heap of metal which had been both their transportation and home while traveling throughout Australia.

Shane and Debra took pity on the young couple and offered them a room in their home and even found them some work so that they were able to get back on their feet and continue their travels in Australia.

To me this is more than just a nice story, because it was my girlfriend and I that were the young couple that they had rescued and today the Bilstons hold a very special place in our hearts. Shane and Debra are just one example of the awesome people and great experiences that I have had while traveling throughout the world and hope I can offer to you. As you can see, these people are not just my business contacts, they are my personal friends and truly great people.
