I'm Cole Sjoholm — a mortgage lender (NMLS 681575) turned global traveler who spent a year exploring all seven continents and never quite returned to a "normal" life. Today, I primarily live on cruise ships while 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 through the US, and seen more sunsets at sea than I can count. Travel changed my life — and now it's my mission to help create those memories for others.

​

Why Cruise?

During my seven-continent journey, I fell in love with cruising: the rhythm of life at sea, the global community, the ease, the affordability, and the access to destinations you simply can't reach any other way.

​

Cruises offer incredible value, flexibility, comfort, and built-in adventure — and today they are more accessible than ever.

​

I started helping friends and former mortgage clients book their sailings — and it snowballed into a full-fledged business that I love. Now I help travelers from many corners of the world plan their dream vacations with confidence, clarity, and insider knowledge.

​

Cruising Not For You?

No worries! While I personally love cruising, especially living as a digital nomad, I understand it's not the style of vacation for every traveler or for every trip. I have access to hundreds of vendors and would be delighted (and honored) to help you plan your next adventure.

​

My Book:

In 2024, I published my first book, "Filling My Bucket: A Year of Solo Travel Across Seven Continents" — a personal narrative about exploration, reinvention, and living boldly.
