About Us

My name is Brett Hartley, I am a retired PGA of America Golf Professional of 30+ years. I am currently Active Duty military. I will be retiring in the next few years. I am married to my college sweetheart, Christine. We are the proud parents of four wonderful adult children, two grandchildren, and a devoted Labrador. Our lives are overflowing with good food, lots of love, adventure, and excitement. As empty nesters we have been fortunate enough to live out our dreams and pursue our passion for sumptuous food, culture, and travel by living all over the US, South Korea, Germany, and Italy. Our lives have been somewhat of a fairytale. While living overseas Christine and I took every opportunity to visit as many neighboring countries as possible. It is our hope to share our love of good food, travel, culture, and our experiences from our travels with as many people as possible. We started our journey while overseas by assisting family and friends with planning their itineraries to come visit us. We put so much thought and effort into planning every detail into our guests itineraries, they began telling us we needed to go into the business. While employed at the Catholic Diocese of Beaumont, Fr. Sinclair Oubre of the Apostleship of the Sea Ministry (AOS), offered Christine an opportunity to work for him booking cruises for Catholic priests on cruise ships all over the world in March 2009. This is where Christine got her official start assisting others with booking their travel arrangements. Traveling has become our passion. We find it to be therapeutic and we love watching the excitement and pure joy on the faces of our family, friends, and clients. We have always enjoyed assisting others with planning their travels. So, Christine and I have decided to go into the Travel Industry as our retirement plan. We feel that if you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life.
