Meet Your Travel Advisor

Hi, my name is Jackson Staudenmaier, and I am the owner of this travel agency. ​​I was inspired to make Seize Your Travel because of how much I love traveling myself—for me, the feeling of hiking in new places or walking around historical sites I've only ever seen in pictures is euphoric every time! My goal is for every single one of my clients to experience this same feeling on the trips I craft for them.

​​

There is a fun piece of history which I think perfectly encapsulates this euphoric feeling. During the Roman Empire, ancient tourists traveled to Egypt to visit millennia old Pharaoh tombs. Upon entering a tomb, one traveler was so struck by the sight that they carved "Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!" into the wall to mark down the euphoric feeling which overcame them.* As a travel advisor, I want all my clients to enjoy traveling just as much as this ancient traveler did!

No More Travel Planning Stress

Using a travel advisor lets you take a backseat in the vacation planning process, which can get stressful and feel overwhelming at times. I will personally take care of all the required planning and booking so you can focus solely on enjoying your trip.

As a travel advisor, I am able to book travel directly with well-known and reputable brands across the travel industry, including tour agencies, hotels chains, cruise lines, etc.
