Custom Luxury Travel Planning for Europe & the Caribbean.
Let’s skip the small talk...
I’m Jace and I’d
love to build your next vacation.
Somewhere Travel Co. started the way most great things do: with a little chaos, a lot of curiosity, and the belief that luxury travel shouldn't feel like work.
But only if you're into some of life's finer touches. When I first started planning travel, I did what everyone else was doing…. pre-packaged, generic itineraries that felt like summering at a Holiday Inn. But I soon realized the way to actually enjoy spending your time away isn't to hunt for the cheapest rate at the all-inclusive (but don't get me wrong, I love an all-inclusive) but to build something with so much value, you feel like you stole it.
With smart decisions.
The right travel partners.
And a level of support that most agencies couldn't pull off if they tried. (Not trying to be dramatic. Just honest.)
Sound like something you deserve?
I thought so.
I geek out about underrated spots, elite turndown service, and the kind of experience that completely
blows your mind.
I believe that luxury travel should be both personal and approachable.
Coming back to a room with slippers bedside and everything ready to dive right in? That never gets old (and yeah, I notice every detail). I've always been the guy who plans the trips. The one neck-deep in flight routes, resort photos, and dinner reservations, trying to make it all fit together just right. Somewhere Travel Co. became the outlet for that obsession with luxury travel planning.
These days, I help people who don't have the time to plan travel that truly matches the way they live. The ones who want it done right, without the stress or second-guessing. Whether it's a honeymoon, a big family trip, or a long-overdue getaway, my clients know I'm in it with them from start to finish. Because I care just as much about the details as I do about the story they'll tell when they get home.
what our clients have to say
Jace exceeded all of our expectations while planning our honeymoon, covering every detail from the resort to transportation. When our original trip was canceled due to Hurricane Melissa, he stepped in and rescheduled everything without missing a beat. What sets Jace apart is how much he genuinely cares about his clients.
"His attention to detail and support is truly evident."
Danielle and brian, honeymoon in st. lucia
Somewhere Travel Co. truly planned the family vacation we asked for with very little effort from us. Jace's attention to detail is truly appreciated and worth the price. He answered every little question and helped with every inquiry, timely and professionally. Will use Somewhere Travel Co again and will recommend his services to anyone!
"The family vacation we asked for, with almost zero effort on our end."
rebecca, family vacation in los cabos
Jace was extremely helpful in planning a retirement getaway to St. John, USVI. He was kind, insightful, responsive and knowledgeable. When we wanted to cancel an arrangement made while on vacation, he was quick to lend a hand. We will definitely be using Somewhere Travel Co. again in planning any of our upcoming getaways!
"Worth every penny — the view was absolutely stunning."
mary, retirement trip to st. john
We've booked hotel-only stays with Jace several times now, and it's the same story every trip: incredible properties, great service, and awesome support. This stay was no exception. The accommodations and service were absolutely top tier. We spend a few weeks in SW Florida every year and will absolutely be returning to LaPlaya Beach Resort.
"Insane. Perfect. I can't say enough about this place."
Lauren, hotel-only stay in florida
We used Somewhere Travel for a hotel-only booking and truly felt like VIP guests from the jump. We got an early check-in while most people were still waiting for their rooms, plus a room upgrade and free breakfast every morning. Communication was top tier the entire travel week. Highly recommend!
"Chocolate covered strawberries and stuffed animals were waiting for our kids at the door."
gabby, hotel-only stay in palm springs
We wanted to go to Yellowstone for our 10th Wedding Anniversary and explore the great outdoors. From day one, Jace and his team treated us like we were the only clients they had. They tailored a perfect trip for us around our interests and couldn't have done a better job. Everywhere we stayed and every restaurant recommended was top notch, and we can't wait to plan our next trip with them!
"From day one, Jace and his team treated us like we were the only clients they had."

A few
fun facts
I immediately judge a hotel on their signature scent, pool loungers and turndown. Call me a critic.
I love a good espresso martini and a medium rare steak. A bit of an oxymoron, but right on character.
I grew up in the ag industry, showing pigs and now I consult youth nationwide with their projects.
I am originally from California's Central Valley, but made the move to the Kansas City area in '20. I love it here.

Book Like a Pro (Even Without One)
Look, I get it. You like to do things yourself. (Respect.) But if you're going to book your own trip, you might as well get access to the upgrades, credits, and little luxuries that make a stay feel next-level.
My Virtuoso self-booking link lets you browse and reserve hotels worldwide with the same VIP perks my full-service clients enjoy. When they're available. Think: better rooms, complimentary breakfast, and late checkout that doesn’t require that awkward front-desk negotiation.
You handle the booking. Virtuoso handles the “wow.” Simple, seamless, and way more fun than doing it on the hotel website.
complimentary
You may not feel like it right now, but you can return from your family vacation actually rested.
Exhausted from price checking. Stressed by too many choices. Already dreading the next vacation they haven't even planned yet. And I'm here to tell you: you don't have to do the heavy lift anymore!
In fact, you shouldn't. Outsourcing your travel planning to a luxury travel agency is one of the smartest things you can do. Focus on what you're good at (your family and business), and leave the trips to us.
good news: I've worked with countless people who felt the exact same way.
(did someone say pipe dream?)
happy clients
This was our first time using a travel advisor, and we thank God that he sent us to Jace and Somewhere Travel Co. For our 25th anniversary, he arranged an upgrade at the resort, and we were upgraded to the nicest bungalow on the property with our own plunge pool. We were treated like absolute royalty for our entire stay. Highly recommend!
"Every employee on the property knew it was our anniversary."
michael, anniversary in grand cayman
Working with Jace and Somewhere Travel Co. took absolutely all of the stress out of our 13 day, three-destination trip through Europe. Whenever we needed something, Jace answered questions was quick to respond and made sure we didn't have to worry. Both my Mom and I have recommended him to so many people!
"I've already recommended them to everyone I know."
Colton, multi-country trip to Europe
Somewhere Travel Co. made planning our family vacation to Mexico an exceptional experience. Jace was knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire process and took so much of the stress out of planning. We would recommend them to anyone planning their next getaway, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!
"Our private Tulum tour is a memory we'll cherish forever."
nick, all-inclusive trip to playa del carmen
Somewhere Travel Co. and their Italian partners created a trip we will never forget. Across two weeks with the whole family, from Taormina to Sorrento, everything from planning to itinerary to execution was smooth. The food was consistently the best we've ever had on vacation, and the restaurants Jace reserved were fabulous. We loved the app for the itinerary and referred to it constantly. Truly a great experience.
"You never made us feel like a bother."
Kathy, multi-gen trip to italy
Using Somewhere Travel Co. has been a game changer for how my family got to experience their first cruise ever. From every tiny detail, we had an incredible experience and one we will remember for a lifetime. I have never used a travel agent before, I always tried to do it myself, but after this experience I will always go back to Jace. His advice, experience, and attention to detail were incredibly helpful.
"A game changer for how my family's first cruise ever."
cindy, graduation cruise to alaska
I came across Jace on LinkedIn, and after I got engaged, I knew I wanted his help planning the honeymoon of our dreams. We were blown away by Jace's responsiveness, communication, and desire to plan us an incredible trip. We are so thankful to have so many incredible memories from our honeymoon, most of them thanks to his efforts!
"We traveled in peace knowing he was there to help if we needed it."
Abby, honeymoon in costa rica

Because effortless doesn’t just happen by accident.
Great travel doesn't just happen—it's designed. Our process takes the chaos out of planning and replaces it with calm, clarity, and a little bit of wonder. You'll see exactly how we turn "we should go somewhere" into the luxury trip you'll still be talking about at the holidays.

frequently asked questions
your burning questions, answered.
How early should I start planning my trip?
The sweet spot is 6–8 months out—that’s when availability, pricing, and perks all work in your favor. Three to six months is still doable, but last-minute trips may require a little flexibility (and occasionally a rush fee). The earlier you start, the smoother it all goes.
For bookings less than 60-days prior to departure, a fee surcharge will apply.
What happens after I fill out the inquiry form?
Once your form hits our inbox, we’ll send over our Welcome Guide so you have the full rundown. Then, we'll get a Discovery Call on the calendar so we can sit down, visit, and learn more about your goals for the trip.
We will also go over the full planning fee quote at that time.
Does it cost to work with Somewhere Travel Co.?
There are many ways to work with Somewhere Travel Co.
Custom trip planning starts at $300, our VIP-level planning starts at $500 and Hotel-only bookings through our preferred partners have no fee—because we believe that the perks should come standard.
When do I pay to work with Somewhere Travel Co.?
The planning fee is due before design begins. Travel costs (flights, hotels, etc.) are paid directly to the suppliers once you’re ready to confirm your trip. All payment schedules, policies, and receipts live inside your travel portal and itinerary—simple, transparent, and easy to keep track of.
Can I tweak my itinerary after it’s built?
Of course. Two rounds of refinements are included so we can fine-tune until it feels just right. Beyond that, we can always adjust as needed—this is travel, not concrete.
Once you've approved your itinerary, the flexibility of the itinerary will be subject to our partner's policies.
What if something goes sideways during my trip?
We've got people to take care of our people. You get to enjoy your vacation while we—along with our on-the-ground partners—jump into action. Flight delay? Lost bag? Room issue? We've got it handled so you don't have to step away from your pool chair.
Are you able to book our airfare too?
Absolutely. We handle airfare when it’s part of your full itinerary. If you only need flights, we can book those separately for a small fee—just enough to keep the lights on and the upgrades flowing.
Do you plan group or corporate trips?
Heck yeah. Whether it’s a multi-gen family getaway, a company incentive trip, or an executive retreat, we handle the moving parts so you don’t have to. Our goal? To make you look like a rockstar while we quietly run things behind the scenes. You get the credit; we’ll handle the chaos.
Who all are you able to work with?
Somewhere Travel Co. has a widespread, national clientbase. While we are located in the Kansas City Metro, our clients hail from coast-to-coast.
We work with clients who have an affinity for luxury and upscale touches and value exclusive and unique experiences.
Are you able to utilize credit card points and miles?
Ah, great question. Since travel agencies are compensated by commission after a client completes their travels, we are unable to work directly with points and miles redemption.
However, we highly encourage our clients use their airline miles, for airfare as this is a great value for money! We're happy to advise on best routing, as well.
Short on time? Answer quick qualifiers and book a Welcome Call and I'll review before we chat.
Got a few minutes? Share your trip details upfront and I'll prep our first conversation.
Either way, you'll get the same personalized experience.
Choose the path that fits your schedule.
What are you waiting for?
Your family's favorite story starts right here.
We truly believe that trips should feel as luxury in action, as they look on paper.
And when you work with Somewhere Travel Co.? They do just that.
