About Cole

A mortgage lender who never came home

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.

Cruise, Or Not?

Two ways to travel with Cole

Why Cruise

Unpack once. See everything.

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.

Cruising Not Your Thing?

I've got you covered on land, too.

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.

Also Considering a Career Change?

Turn your love of travel into your own business.

I mentor a small team of independent travel advisors through InteleTravel. If flexible, remote, travel-focused work sounds appealing, I'd love to tell you more.
