I'm Cole Sjoholm. I've sailed and traveled across all seven continents, and now I help individuals, couples, families, and groups book the right vacation at the right price — from a quick getaway to the trip of a lifetime.
My expertise in booking you the best personalized trip comes from my own experience traveling — 70+ countries, all seven continents, and dozens of cruise lines and resort brands I've actually sailed and stayed on, not just read about in a supplier catalog.
That means I can tell you honestly which shore excursions are worth the money and which ones to skip, which cabin categories actually matter and which don't, and how a resort really feels once you're standing in it — because I've been there. I've also traveled solo, as an LGBTQ+ traveler, and as part of large family groups, so wherever you fit, I've likely navigated that exact situation myself.
During my seven-continent journey, I fell in love with cruising — the rhythm of life at sea, the global community, the ease, and access to destinations you simply can't reach any other way. Cruises offer incredible value, flexibility, and built-in adventure, and today they're more accessible than ever.
I understand cruising isn't the right style for every traveler or every trip. With access to hundreds of vendors, I'd be honored to help plan your resort stay, villa escape, or land-based adventure — wherever it is you're dreaming of.
I'm a mortgage loan originator (NMLS 681575) across Colorado, Florida, and Arizona — and a global traveler who spent a year exploring all seven continents, and never quite returned to a "normal" life. Today I live as a full-time digital nomad, splitting my time between originating loans and helping others plan stress-free, unforgettable vacations worldwide.
I've crossed Antarctica on expedition ships, explored ancient cities across Europe, tasted my way through the Far East, road-tripped across the U.S., and watched more sunsets at sea than I can count. Travel changed my life — now it's my job to help create those memories for you.
