Hey, travelers!👋🏾 Welcome to our adventure! With over 40 countries explored and a reputation as the go-to “booking friend,” I turned my passion for travel into a career by founding Bag & Go Travel (bagtravel.net) in 2021. My goal? To leverage the “other” side of the travel business to create seamless, unforgettable journeys.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, I bring a unique perspective to trip planning, thanks to my Master’s in Urban Planning from USC. Some of my favorite cities include Tokyo, Hong Kong, Cape Town, Vancouver, and Berlin—each inspiring my approach to crafting personalized adventures. Beyond travel, I’m a proud Lakers fan, hiking enthusiast, amateur photographer, and once even ran a debate forums website!

Reviews
I was invited by a work colleague to a Yosemite trip with B.A.G. I didn’t know what to expect because I didn’t know anyone but the person who invited me. On the trip, I had the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone. I met other professionals, went hiking, enjoyed the breathtaking sights of Yosemite, and immersed myself in a memorable experience. The booking process was not stressful because the leader was quite communicative and organized. I highly recommend one to book with B.A.G!! You won’t be disappointed!!
Somalia Miller Salmond
I have traveled with B.A.G. a few times and it has always been a great experience. Always with a great group of people and fun activities. I will definitely do it again!
Jorge Millanes
B A.G. Travel provided exceptional service and our trip was spectacular. Michael is detailed and professional.
Veronica Perry
I joined BAG Travel to Puerto Vallarta on May 2022. It was a great trip; got to meet new friends to travel with, and got to experience new activities that haven't done before on my previous visits to PVR. Would definitely join more trips in the future.
